‘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.

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.

Below is an excerpt from an article found on Colgate.com
Over a decade of research has proven bleaching and other whitening methods to be both safe and effective. Several products in the market today have shown no adverse effects on teeth or gums in substantial clinical and laboratory testing. Be sure to look for clinically proven products, follow directions and consult with your dental professional.
In the past, the higher bleach concentrations used in-office treatment resulted in more sensitivity. Today, however, bleaching gels are well buffered, making sensitivity less of an issue. Sensitivity may occur in people after whitening procedures, particularly when they eat hot or cold foods, but usually disappears after 48 hours and stops completely when treatment is stopped.
If you do experience sensitivity, there are several ways you can help eliminate it:
- If using a tray applicator, wear the tray for a shorter period
- Brush with a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth that contains potassium nitrate to help soothe tooth nerve ending
- Ask your dentist or pharmacist for a product with fluoride, which helps re-mineralize your teeth. Brush-on or wear in your trays four minutes prior to and after whitening your teeth
- Stop whitening your teeth for several days to allow you teeth to adapt to the whitening process. Within 24 hours, the sensitivity will cease. The longer you whiten your teeth, the less sensitivity you will experience
In a few cases, your dentist may discourage dental bleaching:
- If you have gum disease, teeth with worn enamel, cavities or particularly sensitive teeth
- If you're pregnant or breast-feeding
- If you have tooth-colored crowns, caps or other dental work in your front teeth, which can't be bleached

Natural-Looking Fillings
Dr. Brent is pleased to provide white bonded fillings for patients who need a cavity filled or restoration of minor damage to a tooth. These fillings aren’t like the traditional ones you may be familiar with. They are a natural-looking white to match the color of your teeth, contain no metals, and can actually strengthen your teeth. The way they bond tightly with the healthy part of the tooth allows her to save more existing tooth structure, and there is less chance of decay in the future.
