Fabulous smiles come in all shapes and sizes, but the common thread is that we all want to feel

great about the way we present ourselves to others. Cosmetic Dentistry is not a “one size fits

all” endeavor.

Dr. Nichols believes in Facially Generated Esthetics as a means of bringing out the most cosmetically pleasing nuances of an individual’s smile. This can often be achieved by utilizing minimally invasive and conservative techniques to improve the shape and color of your natural teeth.

Technology has greatly improved our ability to achieve individually ideal esthetic results and

Dr. Nichols believes strongly in maximizing these techniques. But this can only work by listening intently and paying close attention to each patient’s chief concerns and working as a team with the patient and quality laboratories in an effort  to achieve their desired results.

Technological advances have also helped create a process of veneering teeth with less preparation and frequently no anesthetic. A veneer is a thin porcelain covering that is made by a lab using an impression of your prepared teeth. They can create ideal esthetic contours and shades for chipped, misshapen or discolored teeth, as well as a means of closing unwanted spaces without braces. Traditionally this involves anesthesia and the removal of some tooth structure to accommodate the thickness of the veneer.

Lumineers are extra thin veneers that maintain

the strength of traditional veneers while also creating the cosmetic enhancements patients desire.  Because of the advanced porcelain utilized with Lumineers, they can often be created with minimal to no removal of tooth structure and without anesthetic.  Ask us about a free consult to determine if the smile of your dreams utilizing Lumineers is the right choice for you.
