Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they've been dreaming of with our simple "bleaching" procedure.
What are the details?
It's safe, quick, and inexpensive, just let us know if you would like to brighten your smile. Impressions will be made of your teeth to allow a custom "mouthguard" or "stent" to hold the bleach against your teeth.
In only a day your custom bleaching splints will be ready to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that bubbles stains right out of your enamel without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.
Dental bleaching is used to correct tooth staining that can be caused by food, wine, coffee, tea, smoking, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful smile. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or veneers may be more appropriate.
We now offer Zoom!™ teeth whitening
The Zoom!™ Whitening procedure is simple and painless. It begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. Dr. Brunson then applies the proprietary Zoom!™ Whitening Gel, which is activated by a specially designed light. Teeth typically become at least six to ten shades whiter, sometimes more. A five minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. You'll be amazed with the results. In most cases, teeth get even whiter the first few days after the procedure.

Crowns
Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.
In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause appearance problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns are a predictable and cosmetically beautiful way to repair damaged front teeth.

When damage to a person's teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain crowns to make the smile appear "as new"

Some porcelain crowns may have a dark appearance at the gumline or simply look "fake". With the cosmetic techniques we use we can replace those "old" crowns with porcelain crowns that look exactly like beautiful teeth.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything. Knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved, they can smile with confidence. Implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, several missing teeth, or a complete arch of missing teeth. Yes, implants can be used to give you teeth again, even after several years of wearing a complete denture!
Why dental implants?
When you lose several teeth (whether it's a new situation or something you have lived with for years) chances are you have never become fully accustomed to losing such a vital part of yourself. Once you learn about dental implants, you finally realize there is a way to improve your life; dental implants are your doorway to renewed self-confidence and peace of mind.

What are Dental Implants?
The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts, which are inserted into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrude through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

The Procedure
Implants are a team effort between a surgeon and a restorative dentist. The surgeon places the titanium implant in the jaw bone, and also does initial tooth extractions and bone grafting if necessary. Then our office makes the teeth that are attached to the implants. We will also make any temporary tooth replacements needed during the implant process.
