Cosmetic
Cosmetic dentistry has evolved over the years to become one of dentistry's most sought after treatments. No longer are the days when society viewed the dentist as someone who drills and fills holes in teeth. Today, people are looking to their dentist to improve their self-esteem, make their appearance more youthful, and give them something to smile about. While this is a great service to the population, cosmetic dentistry is not something every dentist knows how to do.
Great cosmetic dentistry takes a lot of practice and numerous "Continuing Education" courses. Constantly researching and reading the latest techniques and materials is an absolute must.

A whiter, brighter smile has become one of today's most desired looks. A whiter smile gives a more youthful appearance as teeth discolor with age. Years of wear and tear, coffee drinking, smoking, and even an occasional soda, can add years to your appearance. At Ottley Smiles, we offer both in-office, one hour power bleaching and take home bleaching with custom fitted trays. With a one hour visit, the doctor can whiten your teeth up to nine shades. Using the latest technology, you can have a whiter, brighter, more youthful smile with minimal tooth sensitivity. With this revolutionary treatment, you still have time to whiten your teeth before those family or wedding photos next week. If you wish to take it a little slower and achieve that brighter smile gradually, then we will custom fit bleaching trays for you to take home and wear 3-4 hours a day or every other day, whatever you are comfortable with. Using only the highest quality bleaching systems will ensure that you can have that smile you've always wanted with minimal tooth sensitivity. |

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, which are bonded to the front of teeth. Veneers are placed to mask undesirable defects, such as teeth stained by tetracycline, by an injury, or as a result of a root-canal procedure. They are ideal for masking discolored fillings in front teeth. Patients with gaps between their front teeth or teeth that are chipped or worn may consider porcelain veneers. This type of procedure will take two appointments. The first appointment we prepare the teeth to receive the veneers and take an impression that is then sent to a dental laboratory. Temporaries are then placed on the teeth. The second appointment we bond the lab fabricated veneers to the teeth. |

| Direct bonding composite, or tooth colored filling, is an esthetic, long lasting restoration that can be used in any part of the mouth. These composites can be used to close spaces between teeth, cover discoloration defects, replace old unsightly silver fillings, and used to restore decayed teeth. | ||||
LUMINEERS® are porcelain veneers that offer the painless way to a permanently whiter and perfectly aligned smile. Your LUMINEERS dentist can apply these contact lens-thin "smile shapers" to teeth without any grinding or shaving, transforming teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual. LUMINEERS can even be placed over existing crown or bridgework without having to replace them.
