Instant Ortho
For many adults, changing their smile through cosmetic dentistry has significant advantages over choosing traditional orthodontics. In as little as two appointments, your smile can be straightened, teeth length can be restored, color, shape and contour can all be corrected and balanced to harmonize with your face and smile. Many busy adults today just don't have the time for the many office visits required with traditional orthodontics. The option of "instant orthodontics" through cosmetic dentistry certainly is a treatment to consider for the best and most convenient overall results!
Teeth Whitening
If you are unhappy with the dull, yellowish shade of your teeth, consider teeth whitening as the perfect solution! Teeth whitening is safe, effective, and an efficient way to dramatically improve your overall appearance. Dr.Taylor can help you choose the most effective and convenient method of whitening for you. We offer in-office whitening as well as take-home kits. These processes can actually make your natural tooth color between seven and twelve shades brighter than it is right now! You too can have the bright, white Hollywood smile that you've always dreamed about!
Dentures
If you have lost all of your natural teeth, dentures can replace your missing teeth and smile. Tooth loss can come from periodontal disease, tooth decay, or injury, but with dentures, you can benefit your appearance and health, and can continue to function as a healthy, active adult. Dr.Taylor can help you make an informed decision about whether dentures are ideal for you.
Hygiene
Preventative care is an integral part of our practice. Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth and gums. Healthy teeth not only enable you to look and feel good, they make it possible to eat and speak properly. Good oral health is important to your overall well-being. Promoting health through preventative dentistry and educating our patients on good oral hygiene is the heart of our practice. Thorough examinations and professional cleanings allow us to identify problem areas and stop periodontal disease.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry, sometimes known as “sleep dentistry,” can help patients who normally have difficulty doing so to completely relax through their appointments. This treatment is ideal for those with dental fears or those who have difficulty getting numb.. It can also turn multiple appointments into a single visit. Patients take a pill prior to treatment. Though completely relaxed, patients will be awake enough to respond to the doctor. Sedation dentistry reduces the body’s natural tendency to tense muscles while stressed. This can create a more effective dental visit, allowing for much more to be accomplished, while eliminating concerns about discomfort.
Implant Restoration
Implants completely simulate a natural tooth in form and function. Placing implants involves a surgical procedure that replaces the missing teeth. A titanium cylinder secured in the bone functions as the root of your tooth. Then a crown is attached to the cylinder, giving the appearance of a natural tooth. A dental implant is ultimately a replacement for the root of the missing tooth. Implants are often the first choice when replacing missing teeth because they are so strong and natural in appearance.
Invisalign
If you have always wanted straighter teeth but dreaded the idea of metal braces, ask Dr. Taylor about Invisalign. These aligners are elegantly transparent, working gently and effectively to restore your smile to its most comfortable and beautiful position. Let Dr. Taylor show you how you can have beautifully straight teeth while you eat, brush and floss as usual. You can even remove your aligners for a special occasion. Call Dr. Taylor today and get the scoop on Invisalign, the invisible alternative to braces.
Endodontics
With today's modern dental techniques, having root canals done by a dentist is no longer a scary experience. Dr. Taylor is experienced in performing root canal therapy. Extensive decay, an accident, tooth fracture, or gum disease can kill teeth and cause a root canal symptom such as root canal pain or a dental abscess. However, regardless of the root canal cause, your teeth can be saved using modern therapy to do root canal treatment.
