The edges of your top teeth smoothly follow the curve of the lower lip.
All these problems can be resolved with esthetic procedures. So even if you weren’t born with a beautiful smile, you can still have one!
Here are just a few of the possible procedures Dr. Shlafer will use to create your new smile:
Tooth whitening: To improve the color of stained, dull teeth. Dr .Shlafer offers two options to achieve superior whitening. The first choice is a 2-hour in office procedure where 3-4 applications of whitening material is applied for instant results. The second option is an in home custom tray bleaching system. Impressions are made ensuring your whitening trays fit perfectly and they are worn at night for 2 weeks, achieving beautiful results. No matter what option you and Dr. Shlafer decide on, you will love your new whiter smile!
Bonding: To repair chipped, uneven and cracked teeth. Bonding is a pain free procedure in which Dr. Shlafer meticulously contours your teeth with a natural tooth colored substance restoring the damaged area.
Composite or Resin Fillings: These are natural tooth colored fillings that are used to replace old silver amalgam fillings.
Dental Veneers: To repair crooked, overlapping, short or gapped teeth. This is a lab related service and generally takes 2 visits to complete.
Dental Implants: To replace a missing tooth. The benefit of this option is to avoid involving teeth on either side of the missing tooth, thus eliminating the need for a bridge. Another benefit of an implant is, it is a permanent, un-removable restoration.
Metal Free Crowns: To repair extensive tooth decay, these all porcelain crowns are made by the finest dental laboratories, selected by Dr. Shlafer personally. Additionally, Dr. Shlafer offers the option of using state of the art Cerec technology. This procedure is performed in our dental office allowing for the completion of your crown in one convenient appointment.

Dr. Shlafer will consider many factors when deciding on a custom treatment plan for your new smile. He will first evaluate the overall health of your teeth. Dr Shlafer will then consider the spacing between your teeth, and measure the length of each tooth as well as identify your existing tooth color and the new shade you would like to change to. All of these elements will help determine the appropriate treatment plan for your new smile.
