You know it when you see it - that brilliance of a beautiful, bright smile and the confidence within. Imagine feeling that confidence emerge as you flash your enhanced smile for the first time! That’s right, you know it when you see it, and you feel it when you have it! With the technological advancements available to you in the specially trained hands of Drs. Griffin and Reed, your movie star appeal is just around the corner. From simple procedures to more involved smile makeovers, imagine the possibilities no more. Come in and let us make it happen!

Porcelain Veneers

Most smile makeovers you see on television are created using porcelain veneers, which are thin strips of porcelain custom designed to fit on the front of your tooth. Veneers are made to resemble real teeth in size, shape and color and are cemented onto misaligned, damaged or discolored teeth to dramatically improve your smile’s appearance. This noticeable, impressive change in the appearance of your smile typically for years and maintains natural looking color and texture..

Tooth Whitening

Imagine removing surface stains and having the white smile you had when you were a teenager! Anyone can have the confidence that comes from having a bright, white smile. Tooth whitening with Zoom!™ is safe, effective and long lasting. This powerful, in-office procedure produces fast, dramatic results. Drs. Griffin and Reed apply a specialized gel to your teeth for about an hour. During that time, a specialized light source interacts with the gel to break up even the strongest stains and discoloration. By the end of your appointment, you will be proud to flash that stunning, white, refreshed smile! Drs. Griffin and Reed also offer a take-home whitening option. This do-it-yourself process is administered in the comfort of your own home and often while you sleep.  Speak with Drs. Griffin and Reed today to determine what whitening procedure is right for you.

Porcelain Bridges

Do you have missing teeth? If so, you may be aware that other aspects of your smile and oral health change after tooth loss. You chew differently, you may have pain, remaining teeth shift; and frustrating gaps and spaces occur in your mouth as your teeth move to compensate for the lost teeth. Drs. Griffin and Reed want you to be comfortable, to look your best and to have a sense of confidence at all times. So, they help some patients find a solution in a porcelain bridge that they custom design to keep your smile aligned, your bite functional and your comfort intact. How does a bridge work? They’re basically anchored to existing teeth or crowns on either side of the missing tooth. They are semi-permanent, meaning they can only be affixed or removed by a dentist and are a long-term restorative solution to your damaged smile.

Porcelain Crowns

Your teeth endure a lot of stress over a lifetime which can show in many ways. Chipping, cracking, discoloration and decay can all be caused by this stress; Crowns are the perfect solution. Crowns restore your teeth and smile to look brilliant once again. Porcelain crowns can be made out of porcelain fused to metal or all porcelain and will be shaded to match your teeth. Crowns made of precious metal (gold) are also an option. After tooth preparation, crowns are specifically fitted to restore functionality and enhance the appearance of your smile. If you have pain when chewing or temperature sensitivity, ask if crowns might be the best solution for you.

Tooth Colored Fillings

Remember dark, metal fillings? Many of us do. Many still have them throughout their mouth. If you find yourself wondering what colleagues or friends are thinking as you make a presentation or enjoy a laugh with friends and the darkness shines through, you’ll be especially excited to learn that fillings can now be crafted out of a tooth colored composite resin that not only looks great but functions great too. Drs. Griffin and Reed blend composite shades and shapes to match your original teeth. Once it’s in place, it actually helps support the remaining tooth structure, helping to prevent breakage and providing insulation against temperature changes.

Lumineers

Are you looking to transform worn, misshapen, broken and discolored teeth into the most naturally beautiful smiles possible? You may benefit from Lumineers by Cerinate, which are porcelain veneers that offer a painless way to a permanently whiter and perfectly aligned smile. Drs. Griffin and Reed can apply these Lumineers or “smile shapers” (which are as thin as a contact lens) to your teeth without any grinding of your natural tooth structure, transforming teeth into a naturally beautiful smile. Instead of replacing existing dental work, Lumineers can even be placed over existing crown or bridgework. Let’s talk about your specific situation so we can listen to the exact changes you have in mind and determine if Lumineers might be your positive solution.

Invisalign

You can straighten your teeth without metal braces. Invisalign™ is an FDA approved system that uses clear, removable aligners to incrementally straighten your teeth. There are no uncomfortable brackets or wires, and because you remove the aligners to eat and drink, there are no food restrictions or problems with brushing or flossing. Drs. Griffin and Reed use Invisalign™’s 3D computer imaging to map out your entire treatment plan in advance, allowing you to see what your teeth will look like before you begin treatment. Then, using the imaging, a series of custom aligners are created that will move teeth incrementally. You will replace each aligner every two weeks with the next aligner in the sequence. Average treatment time from initial teeth position to your new, straight smile ranges from five to 15 months.
