When you have a beautiful smile, it is one of the first features people will notice. Straight, white and even teeth are some of the traits of an attractive smile, but these features do not always occur naturally. If you have concerns about the appearance of your smile, there are options to improve the aesthetics of your teeth. Our cosmetic dentist at Liberty Lake Smile Source in Spokane Valley can help you achieve the smile you always wanted with our smile makeover options.
The look of your smile does not always reflect your oral health. You may brush and floss every day and maintain excellent oral health but have cosmetic dental flaws. Stains, crooked teeth or gaps in your smile may deter from the aesthetics of your smile. Cosmetic dentistry addresses aesthetic concerns and improves the overall appearance of your teeth and smile.
Smile Makeovers
Do you have multiple issues you want to change about your smile? Come to Liberty Lake Smile Source for a complete smile makeover. Our cosmetic dentist can evaluate your teeth and recommend the best cosmetic dental services to give you a beautiful smile. You can hide imperfections with cosmetic dental bonding or porcelain veneers, or we can discuss long-term solutions like orthodontics to improve your smile. There are many different options to give your smile a makeover.
Teeth Whitening
One of the quickest ways to improve the appearance of your teeth is with a whitening treatment. Bright, white teeth look healthy, youthful and attractive. Teeth whitening can give your smile a new look with minimal investment of time or money. At Liberty Lake Smile Source, we offer professional teeth whitening options for our patients, including in-office teeth bleaching with Opalescence™ Boost™.
White teeth are not easy to maintain. Many foods, drinks and substances like berries, coffee and tobacco can stain teeth. Plus, aging and wear can cause the teeth to appear darker over time. Discolorations can occur due to tooth damage and other factors. To keep teeth white and bright, most adults will need to use whitening products. While there are plenty of toothpastes, strips and pens you can buy over-the-counter, not all are safe or work as desired. Professional teeth whitening can give you the results you want under the safe supervision of your dentist and dental team at Liberty Lake Smile Source.
Same-Day Teeth Bleaching With Opalescence Boost
At Liberty Lake Smile Source, we offer in-office teeth bleaching with Opalescence Boost. This procedure can whiten your teeth several shades in one visit to our office. This hydrogen peroxide gel is chemically-activated, and you do not need to endure a hot light during the procedure like other in-office teeth whitening products. The gel is applied and allowed to whiten for 20 minutes per session, with two to three sessions used. Most patients can have whiter teeth in less than an hour with beautiful results.
On top of in-office whitening, we have take-home whitening options. These can be used on their own or to maintain results from Opalescence Boost. If you have an event coming up or just want whiter teeth to look your best, we have the right option to give you a bright, gorgeous smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Changing the appearance of your smile does not need to take months – get a complete smile makeover with porcelain veneers. If you have crooked, gapped or discolored teeth you want to hide, cosmetic dental veneers can provide the new façade for your smile. At Liberty Lake Smile Source, we can design and create your new smile with gorgeous porcelain veneers at our dental center in Liberty Lake, WA.
Veneers are a cosmetic dental treatment that uses a thin shell to cover the front of each treated tooth. Porcelain is the most desirable material for veneers, as it looks closest to natural tooth enamel and it resists staining. To create porcelain veneers, a scan is performed on the teeth, and digital software is used to design a new smile. You can see what your new smile will look like with veneers with our smile makeover program. Once the design is chosen, we can create impressions of your teeth to send to the dental lab to create the thin porcelain veneers that will be bonded to the front of your teeth.
Porcelain Veneer Process
Cosmetic veneers are a permanent change to your smile. To attach porcelain veneers to the teeth, a small amount of enamel is removed. We prepare your teeth before your veneers are made, then when the porcelain veneers are finished by the dental lab, they are bonded to the teeth. You will walk into our office with your old smile the day of your appointment for veneer bonding and walk out with a completely new smile.
Porcelain veneers change your teeth forever, but they do not last forever. Most porcelain veneers last 10-15 years before they need to be replaced. The good news is that porcelain is easier to keep white than tooth enamel, so your smile will look great for the lifespan of your veneers.
