Would a new smile make a difference?

That belief is confirmed by a study in which people were asked what it is they remember most about people they meet. Over 85% said they remember people with beautiful smiles!

Veneers

The smile of your dreams in 2 easy appointments!

New techniques in cosmetic dentistry are making it more and more convenient and attractive to spruce up your smile. If you want to enhance your smile, beautiful custom-made porcelain veneers have become the treatment of choice.

If you have teeth that are stained, crooked or malformed for any reason such as cracks, chips, spaces, tetracycline stains, then you may be a great candidate for porcelain veneers.

Veneering is a technique that involves bonding ultra-thin, translucent shells directly onto your teeth. Veneers are made of porcelain or pressed ceramic materials that bond tenaciously to your teeth. They are very lifelike and do not have a black rim around the gums. Veneers allow the light to pass through them giving them unmatched vitality. It is possible to give you a perfectly straight, white, and "youthfully" larger teeth in a couple of weeks.

The first step in the fabrication of the veneers is for Dr. McKim to design them in conjunction with the client's desires. This is where artistry, science, training, and knowledge of materials merge. Dr. McKim must specify the shape, thickness, and colors. Natural teeth are not pure white, but rather have subtle colors – sometimes yellow, blue, pink and these vary throughout each tooth. The dentist must communicate the exact specification for the ceramist to follow. The most beautiful, realistic crowns and veneers are individually hand made by master ceramists. Porcelain veneers and crowns are stain resistant and can transform even the darkest teeth to natural white.

To obtain the smile of your dreams will require two visits spaced approximately three weeks apart. After the first appointment you will walk out of the office with beautiful temporaries. In the second appointment, we permanently seat the veneers. . . the result is amazing.

Instant Orthodontics & Invisalign®

Imagine a whole new beautiful smile in as little as two visits. For many clients, teeth can be straightened with Instant Orthodontics rather than a number of years as with traditional orthodontics. This cosmetic dental procedure utilizes porcelain veneers, crowns or bonding to artistically create the illusion of straight teeth. The advantage of this procedure is that we can obtain immediate results. The procedure is designed to be long term and look totally natural.

You may be a candidate for this if you would like your teeth to look straighter and like many adults, do not want to commit to the time for conventional orthodontics. The most ideal candidates already have a need for porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns.

Smile Design

You only Better!

A Smile Enhancement or Smile Design may require a single appointment, or a series of treatments. Some procedures are very conservative, painless, fast, and surprisingly affordable. Tooth recontouring and whitening are very conservative treatments that can have a dramatic effect on a smile. Dr. McKim can quickly repair chips, fill in spaces, and camouflage stains with single appointment "bonding" to give you a new smile you can be proud of.

The Smile Design evaluation begins with an examination by Dr. McKim and her professional team. Your lip line, facial shape, jaw angle, hair and eye color are evaluated. Measurements are made, x-rays,impressions and photographs are taken. Dr McKim will discuss with you your cosmetic concerns taking into account your personality, any photos you may have, your likes and dislikes. Dr. McKim believes that each of these components is essential in designing the most beautiful "natural smile" for each individual patient.

Smile Makeover

Who knew that your smile could make you look Fat? Or Thin? Or Younger? Or Older?

Your Smile Plays A Major Role In Your Appearance.

That's because your teeth create an illusion, which can make you look better or worse. For example, if you have a long or oval face, long teeth will make it appear elongated and more drawn, while a round face with long teeth would appear slimmer. On the contrary, front teeth that are too wide or too straight across can make that round face appear fatter. Teeth that are off-center, have gaps or are fange-shaped can be distracting, causing people to look away from your eyes and focus much more on your mouth. The bottom line? Don't forget your smile when you are considering cosmetic changes. It can make other procedures you are having look better and might even make them unnecessary. If Mother Nature didn't give you a smile that complements your face, getting one is possible. Thanks to cutting-edge technology, state-of-the-art materials and advanced techniques. Today, it's easy to get a grin that looks natural as if you were bone with it!
