Smile enhancement can range from simple smile whitening to a complete smile makeover. Cosmetic dental concerns can be due to dental disease, trauma, or congenital conditions. Regardless of the extent of these conditions, the impact of a smile on someone’s life can be as significant to the individual as to those around them.
Dr. Finlay will choose the dental restoration that is right for you. Through the smile design process, he will evaluate your entire masticatory system to select the restoration that will look the best and provide the right level of protection and durability.
In the words of Dr. Finlay –
“There’s never been a better time to consider changing your smile. The convergence of dental materials and dental technologies has brought us to an unparalleled tipping point of predictability. The beauty and strength of modern materials coupled with digital technologies can give us an unprecedented level of predictability with the least amount of invasion.
The process begins with a consultation. And in that consultation, we determine what your goals may be, as well as any other dental health concerns that may exist. Photographs, images, and scans of your smile give us the data to begin your planning. There is no longer a need for messy and bad-tasting impressions. With the use of an intraoral wand, we can effortlessly scan the surfaces of the teeth. Digital technology gives us an incredible and unprecedented level of accuracy in this design process. We have amazing tools available to us that give us the advantage of combining sometimes minor tooth movement with an incredibly powerful tool like Invisalign, and with minimally invasive restorative techniques such as bonding, porcelain veneers, crowns, or maybe even dental implants.
Our goal is to determine the best potential with the least amount of invasion with these cutting-edge technologies. We have the unique ability to virtually design your smile for the best potentials—and the most beautiful results.
Modern materials give us a natural optical appearance with strengths that meet or even exceed what we see in nature. Virtually eliminating some of the concerns we had earlier due to fracture or failure because of the limitations of passed-down materials. These new, modern materials are fabricated in incredibly thin cross-sections. This allows us to be as minimally invasive as possible in our designs. These ultra-thin shells of ceramic can be applied to the surfaces of teeth and when then bonded into place, can be incredibly strong and restore your youthful shape, beauty, and the overall health of your smile.
Depending upon the individual circumstances, the time required to complete your new smile may be as short as a month or possibly a bit longer if Invisalign or dental implants are indicated.
Give us a call to review what the potential of your smile may be! Keep in mind that true aesthetics are really just a relative mirror of the health of your smile. And when it’s designed properly, your smile can be not only healthy and durable, but beautiful. Before considering any enhancements to your smile you should always consider your smile designer first! You can trust our experience, knowledge, and credentials which are second to none. Creating and enhancing beautiful smiles is a special focus of my practice and a passion in my professional life. I look forward to meeting you soon!”
