Procedures

Porcelain Veneers
In our pursuit of simulating natural beauty, porcelain veneers, offer the best avenue for creating a natural look for any smile. As with any dental procedure it takes a very skilled, artistic dentist to create beauty in a natural cosmetic way. Using porcelain veneers we are able to accomplish beautiful smiles unique to each and every individual. Each veneer case is specific to the individual and should be treated as such.

DURAthin™ Veneers use the latest in revolutionary dental technology and years of research concerning veneers. Dr. Dennis Wells and Dental Lab Technician Mark Willes developed DURAthin™ Veneers. With DURAthin™ Veneers, patients can get the best in porcelain veneers without extensive drilling and lab work. For some, no removal of enamel is required to obtain a great smile!

Porcelain Crowns and Onlays
Metal fillings and older styles of dental crowns may cause discomfort, become unattached, present opportunities for bacterial growth or present an unpleasant oral appearance. Porcelain crowns and onlays offer us the ability to protect teeth effectively without detracting from the cosmetic appeal of a smile.

Dental Bridges and Dental Implants
Cosmetically, dental bridges and implants offer the best means of improving smiles by filling in gaps or replacing missing teeth. Bridges allow the dentist to design a natural smile using replacements when there are several missing teeth in sequence. Implants are an option when there is a tooth missing due to extraction, congenital conditions, or injury and oral health is not the main reason for tooth loss. Scheduling a consultation is the best way to find out the best avenues for corrective dental procedures right for you.

Tooth-colored Fillings
If you have tooth decay or you wish to replace old fillings, we will never use metal filling materials. Only the latest tooth-colored will be placed in our clients' teeth. The acrylic-like materials will be shaded and blended to look like part of your tooth structure.

Composite Bonding
In finding ways to enhance our patients' smiles, sometimes we find that composite bonding is the best option. While in comparison to porcelain, composite bonding can present some drawbacks in terms of longevity, staining, and durability, it can produce a very conservative way to enhance the smile. Acrylic-like materials are layered onto the teeth and fused in place with the enamel. Dr. Wells can help you know if this is an option for you to consider.

Teeth Whitening
Whiter teeth are the first sign of overall health. We offer many procedures that can brighten a smile in office or at home. Our professional cleaning procedures can dramatically decrease dull or tarnished smiles. Using laser activated treatments the process of making a smile brighter is safer, faster than most other approaches to this popular cosmetic procedure. Although we still recommend home treatments after the in-office procedure to improve the results.

Tissue Contouring
The gum tissue plays an important role in the overall appearance of your smile. If you show a lot of gum tissue when you smile, or if your tissue heights are uneven, we can often recontour the heights of the gums, helping the teeth appear taller and more symmetrical. Using the latest technology, we utilize a soft tissue laser which removes the excess tissue painlessly.
