Advances in modern dentistry now enable you to get the smile you have always desired. Using the latest techniques and dental materials, your dentist can alter the alignment, shape, color, contour and size of your teeth. We use techniques such as veneers, orthodontics, bleaching, bonding and inlays to transform your smile.

Discolored or stained natural teeth that have not undergone root canal treatment can be bleached. The result is a bright, fresh smile.

Chipped, discolored, misaligned or chipped teeth can be rebuilt using dental bonding techniques. During this process, we rebuild the surface of your teeth using porcelain or plastic materials.

Discoloration, misalignment or damages can be repaired using porcelain laminate veneers. The individually-made shells look and feel just like natural teeth.

Inlays and onlays are used to restore the back teeth's chewing surfaces. These tooth-colored restorations are often used to replace existing silver fillings.

Both children and adults can benefit from orthodontics. Using orthodontic procedures, we can correct bite problems and restore misaligned or crowded teeth.

Through these techniques, we can boost both the health and appearance of your smile. With proper care, your results can last a lifetime.

Your smile plays a big role in how confident you feel, and at Riverside Dental Center, we offer state-of-the-art treatments and procedures to help you have a great-looking smile without the need for invasive surgery

Porcelain Veneers

Over time, teeth can become chipped, cracked or stained, detracting from your appearance and making you feel less confidence. Porcelain veneers address all these issues, and they can even help fill in gaps and correct the appearance of crooked, uneven or misaligned teeth so your smile looks beautiful and healthy.

Veneers are thin “covers” that are carefully bonded to the surfaces of your teeth, covering a wide range of defects. Today's veneers are strong, and they can be custom tinted to match your surrounding teeth for a completely natural-looking result.At Riverside Dental Center, our cosmetic dentists are skilled in the use of veneers and in helping patients get the effect of a smile “makeover” without the need for prolonged or invasive treatments.

Lumineers

Lumineers represent the next generation of porcelain veneers, designed to provide the benefits of traditional veneers but using a thinner profile that doesn't require teeth to be shaped before application. Instead, teeth are lightly etched using a special solution to enable a stronger bond between the Lumineer and the tooth surface. Once attached, Lumineers are “set” with a special curing light. Because the Lumineer procedure doesn't require extensive tooth shaving or reshaping, the process also is completely reversible.

All it takes is two visits – one for the impressions to be made and one to apply the Lumineers – for a brighter, healthier-looking smile.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, or caps, provide strength for a weakened tooth by surrounding the tooth with a hard shell that's designed to withstand the pressures and stresses of regular use. In addition to improving tooth strength, crowns also help damaged teeth look better, and they're commonly used in bridge procedures to “shore up” the teeth that will be used to support the bridge.

Bridges

Bridges are dental appliances used to replace missing teeth. Bridges typically consist of one or more replacement teeth attached to a supportive framework, which in turn is attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. These teeth are usually reinforced with crowns so they aren't weakened by the bridge over time. At Riverside Dental Center, each bridge is custom-crafted for your mouth to improve your appearance and your bite functionality.

Laser Teeth Whitening

Few features are as attractive as a healthy-looking, white smile. In fact, a study conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) found people with attractive smiles are perceived as being more successful and better-looking overall. Teeth whitening or bleaching has grown in popularity over the years as men and women look for ways to improve the way their smiles look. At Riverside Dental Center, we offer laser teeth whitening treatments so patients can see results faster than ever before. During this simple, safe procedure, a special whitening gel is applied to your teeth and then a bright, focused beam of light is used to activate the solution so it removes stains and leaves teeth looking white. Plus, we offer our established patients a complimentary “whitening for life” program so they can perform effortless touch-ups to keep their smiles looking their whitest between visits.

If you're considering having your teeth whitened, making an appointment to have your teeth evaluated is the first step. Bear in mind that if you have older restorations like crowns, veneers or fillings, they may not respond to newer whitening treatments. Let us evaluate your smile so we can help you get the results you want. We can even replace old restorations with newer materials so your smile looks healthier and more youthful.
