We understand how a bright smile and healthy teeth can impact your life. A healthy smile is important in social situations, from our grade school years through retirement. Healthy teeth allow us to enjoy delicious meals, laugh and enjoy ourselves with friends and family. Cosmetic dentistry includes both the enhancement of a person's smile and the restoration of teeth. These procedures are a natural extension of caring for the whole person and contribute to overall well-being. Scholz DDS helps patients with a variety of cosmetic and restorative procedures, including: cosmetic bonding, crowns, natural color fillings, permanent bridges, veneers and whitening or bleaching. In cosmetic bonding, Dr. Scholz applies a synthetic tooth-colored compound to your tooth to rebuild it or change its shape. Crowns are permanent shells, created to cover your whole tooth and protect it or improve how it looks. Porcelain crowns are tinted to match your existing teeth. Dr. Scholz can also fill cavities on tooth surfaces or replace old fillings with natural color fillings, which are also tinted to match your natural teeth. A permanent bridge is a non-removable dental restoration, which replaces a missing tooth. A missing tooth can also be replaced by surgically placing a metal post under the gum and attaching a custom crown, called an implant, to fill the space. Veneers are laminates or shells that Dr. Scholz can fit over the front surfaces of your natural teeth, to change the color, texture or shape. Scholz DDS can also give your teeth a brighter appearance by applying a whitening or bleaching solution or gel to lighten your teeth. |
