What Makes You Unhappy
\nWith Your Smile?<\/h2>\n
There are many common concerns that people in Anchorage have about the appearance of their smile, and through cosmetic dentistry, we can address and correct them all.<\/p>\n<\/div>
- \n
- Discolored teeth<\/li>\n
- Chipped teeth<\/li>\n
- Worn teeth<\/li>\n
- Gaps between teeth<\/li>\n
- Crooked teeth<\/li>\n
- Small or poorly shaped teeth<\/li>\n
- Missing teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
In fact, we have multiple options to treat each of these cosmetic complaints.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Discolored teeth<\/strong> can usually be treated with teeth whitening. However, your teeth won’t always respond to teeth whitening, depending on why your teeth are discolored. In that case, porcelain veneers may be a better option and give you longer-lasting results.<\/p>\n
Chipped teeth<\/strong> can be reshaped with porcelain veneers or dental bonding. Porcelain veneers are the best option because they’re more attractive, last longer, and can also whiten the tooth if the trauma caused it to be discolored from within.<\/p>\n
Worn teeth<\/strong> can also be built up with porcelain veneers or dental crowns. However, it is important that evaluate for TMJ and other bite problems that may be contributing to your tooth wear.<\/p>\n
Gaps between teeth and crooked teeth<\/strong> are usually corrected with orthodontic treatments like Invisalign. But porcelain veneers can be used to correct these problems as well.<\/p>\n
Small or poorly shaped teeth<\/strong> can be reshaped with porcelain veneers, dental bonding, or dental crowns.<\/p>\n
Missing teeth<\/strong> can be replaced using dental bridges or dental implants. Dental implants<\/a> are usually the better choice, but both are good options depending on your situation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How Do They Work?<\/h2><\/div>
These cosmetic renewal treatments use a gentle laser to increase collagen production in your skin, which will smooth wrinkles, plump your skin, and give you a youthful glow. Your Anchorage cosmetic dentist uses the Fotona LightWalker laser system to gently heat the skin inside your mouth to increase collagen production. Since the treatment is done intraorally, no one will notice that you\u2019ve had a treatment done. But they\u2019ll soon begin to notice how great you look!<\/p>\n
You may feel some sensitivity after treatment, but it lasts only a few days. SmoothLase Facial Rejuvenation and LipLase work best with stacked treatments scheduled three weeks apart. You\u2019ll enjoy:<\/p>\n
