Cosmetic Dentistry and Botox
A beautiful smile is one of the most sought after cosmetic features in the world. People from all backgrounds and professions want a bright, straight smile, and we are here to help turn that desire into reality. Whether through minor adjustments or major treatment plans, Drs. Shaftel and Jordan aim to improve your smile and help you feel confident in the way your teeth look.
Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length. We recommend this treatment to anyone experiencing discoloration that cannot be fixed with whitening or if your teeth are damaged. Porcelain veneers are also an option if you’re unhappy with the shape or look of your natural teeth.

Dental bonding is the procedure where a tooth-colored resin is applied to a patient’s tooth. It is primarily used to improve a patient’s smile as well as restoring small cracks and decay. Bonding is also commonly used to protect and improve the esthetics of exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession.

A common request we receive is how to make a smile whiter and brighter. This is a relatively simple and quick treatment option that can be performed periodically. Certain foods and beverages, such as wine and coffee, stain the teeth and contribute to discoloration. The teeth whitening process provides a solution that lightens the shade of the teeth. Additionally, the process actually rids the teeth of plaque and tartar that tend to lead to dental problems.

In dentistry, Botox is used for both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. It relaxes muscles by blocking nerve signals, alleviating conditions like bruxism, migraines, TMJ disorders, and even decreasing the forces associated with grinding/clenching that can fracture teeth. Additionally, it can be used to smooth fine lines of the face and decrease “gummy” smiles. Drs. Shaftel and Jordan have had extensive training on the use of Botox to alleviate orofacial pain as well as achieving an ideal cosmetic outcome for patients wishing to address facial wrinkle lines.
Internal Bleaching
Internal bleaching, also known as internal whitening or non-vital tooth whitening, is a dental procedure that lightens a tooth from the inside out, specifically targeting teeth that have undergone root canal treatment and exhibit internal discoloration. This process involves placing whitening agents within the tooth’s pulp chamber to lighten the stain.
