‘Smile Makeovers’ in as Little as Two Visits!
If you have oddly formed teeth, strange gaps, or dark discolorations, our porcelain veneers may be your best solution. Applying veneers can quickly and painlessly change the look of crooked teeth, so they appear as though they’ve had years of straightening. Made from thin, but very hard, sheets of the most cutting-edge dental ceramic available, veneers are bonded to natural teeth in a way that makes the teeth appear straight and uniform, producing an attractive smile. In addition, veneers can be used to completely hide chipped, cracked, or worn teeth. Created to match the color of the surrounding teeth, veneers look completely natural.

In-House Tooth Extractions
When teeth are infected or extensively damaged, extraction is the necessary solution. We are able to perform most extractions in our office, so you won’t be inconvenienced by referral to another office. We can even offer bone grafting at the time of extraction to help preserve vital underlying bone. Dr. Brent’s years of experience allow her to perform this procedure with a gentle approach and minimal discomfort.

Do You Have a Gummy Smile?
Dr. Brent uses a dental laser to cosmetically treat uneven gummy smile lines, perform gingivectomies (treating deep pockets in the gums), and lengthen crowns so you show more teeth, less gum. These small adjustments can have amazing results with your smile, and healing after laser treatment is typically quick and comfortable.

Wisdom teeth grow in at the back of the mouth, behind your molars. There is a set on the bottom as well as the top. Wisdom teeth often grow in crooked, sideways, or otherwise misaligned. As they grow in, they can push on other teeth, causing problems of overcrowding and misalignment for them as well.
Function and Purpose of Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are believed to be "evolutionary relics," and were helpful to our distant ancestors who ate diets that consisted of rougher foods like sticks and reed plants. As teeth wore down or fell out, wisdom teeth provided replacements. Nowadays, with modern advancements in oral hygiene and softer diets, we don’t need these replacement teeth, but they still grow in. Essentially, our mouths can hold 28 teeth, but including wisdom teeth, we have about 32 teeth all vying for space. Wisdom teeth symptoms such as overcrowding, bone and nerve damage, infection, etc. can all result.
