Cosmetic Dentistry makeover in Fort Smith and Van Buren

Brenda came in already having a lot of dental work done in the past.  She desired a new smile.  After a number of veneers and crowns she was very happy with the result.  She told me the other day that before her new smile, she never liked taking pictures because she always covered her mouth with her hands.  Look at her now,  NO HANDS!!!

  

  

Brenda looks great, and she's still happy with her new smile two years later!!

Cosmetic Partial Dentures in Fort Smith and Van Buren

                    

At the Center For Smiles in Fort Smith and Van Buren, we offer numerous options for beautiful, esthetic, cosmetic dentistry.  This patient came in with a broken off front bridge.  Because of problems with his occlusion we determined that the best way of restoring him functionally and esthetically was with a Valplast, no metal removable partial denture. 

 

Kathy's New Smile

                     

Kathy came in looking for an improvement in her smile.  She is a very outgoing person who loves to smile.  After discussing treatment options, we decided she would be best treated with a full mouth re-construction.  After 28 crowns and veneers she is now smiling all the time.  She has also seen a drastic improvement in headaches since we began treatment.  We placed her teeth together in their proper neuromuscular position which allowed for greater aesthetics and function.  This was all completed in just three visits to the office.  Three months post op Kathy is still doing great.

 

Functional Orthodontics

                     

Michael came to our office only wanting straighter teeth.  After proper records were taken, we realized we could straighten his teeth, but his biggest problem was that he had an extremely deep bite and an arch that was collapsing.  Straightening his teeth would have been a temporary fix to a deeper problem.  At this point in treatment we are expanding his arches using a nickel titanium palatal expander for us upper arch and a skeletal expander for his lower arch.  After his arch is expanded properly we will then begin to treat his deep bite with a removable appliance called a twin block.  The last thing will be to straighten his teeth using traditional brackets on his teeth.  This will finish in a position where his muscles are in a relaxed position upon closing, leading to long term stability and proper facial aesthetics from all sides.  He won't have that sucken in look that many patients have after orthodontic treatment.
