Bonding Excelsior Springs, MO

Bonding

Dental bonding is a versatile and effective procedure that enhances the appearance and function of your teeth. This treatment involves applying a tooth-colored plastic material to your tooth, which is then hardened and bonded using a special light.

Bonding is often used to improve a patient’s smile in several ways:

  • Restoring cracked or decayed teeth
  • Filling cavities with aesthetic, tooth-colored material, especially on front teeth
  • Altering the shape and size of teeth for a more uniform and balanced smile
  • Protecting teeth exposed by receding gums

Dental bonding is a simple yet transformative way to address a variety of dental concerns while maintaining a natural and beautiful appearance.

Dentures Excelsior Springs, MO

Dentures

If you are missing teeth, dentures can provide an excellent solution for restoring your smile and improving your oral health. We offer both traditional dentures and implant-supported dentures, designed to meet your unique needs and preferences. Traditional dentures rest comfortably on your gums, while implant-supported dentures offer enhanced stability and function by anchoring to dental implants.

Our dentures are custom-made to ensure a proper fit, optimal function, and lasting comfort. Following your appointment, we’ll provide detailed instructions for at-home care and strongly recommend scheduling periodic follow-up appointments for professional denture cleanings and adjustments.

Let us help you regain your confidence and enjoy a fully functional smile with our denture options tailored just for you.

Denture Partials Excelsior Springs, MO

Partial Dentures

A removable partial denture is an optimal solution for patients who may be missing one or more teeth in a particular area of their mouth. Removable partial dentures are attached to a gum-colored base which may have a metal framework that helps to hold it in place against the surrounding teeth. These dentures serve to replace missing teeth, restore functionality, and generally improve oral health. When a tooth is lost, and the gap isn’t immediately filled, it can lead to the neighboring teeth to shift; this can create a significant change in your bite and can even cause long-term damage to your gums and jaw bone.

Removable partial dentures are a less invasive method to replace and restore missing teeth than alternative solutions. While they are more cost-effective and less invasive than implants, removable partial dentures require frequent, lifetime upkeep and maintenance. Because these partial dentures are removable and essentially rest on your gums, they need to be frequently cleaned, just like your natural teeth. By cleaning your dentures regularly, you keep your gums healthy and your dentures looking as good as new.

To begin treatment, we will determine if removable partial dentures are the best option for you. Factors such as oral hygiene, the location of the missing tooth gap(s), bone strength, and long-term viability for dentures all determine your treatment plan. Our team will start by taking dental impressions of your teeth which will serve as the mold used to create your dentures. Next, we will review the size, shape, and coloring of each replacement tooth to recreate your natural smile. Once these are determined, we send the molds to a dental lab which creates a mock-up partial denture for you.

During a fitting appointment with our team, we will have you test out the mock-ups to check how they fit, look, and feel in your mouth. This is the time you and our team will make adjustments to the fit or color of the teeth before sending the mock-ups back to the lab for alterations. Remember, your absolute honesty is needed as your feedback shapes the final removable partial denture you will be receiving. Once the final changes have been made to the mock-up, the lab will custom build your dentures. After we receive the final design, your last fitting session will be to make small adjustments for comfort, bite, or fit which can all be made in-house by our team.

Porcelain Crowns Excelsior Springs, MO

Porcelain Crowns

Getting porcelain crowns is the best way to have a very natural looking smile. They are used when simply filling in a tooth is not an option. There are times when they decay is so bad that we just have to use a porcelain crown. We also use them with severely damaged teeth or teeth that have already had multiple fillings. Porcelain crowns are attached right to your teeth so that they can function, even when you bite something really hard! There are several types of porcelain crowns so it is important to discuss which type is best for you with your dentist.

Veneers Excelsior Springs, MO

Veneers

Porcelain Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length. We recommend this treatment to anyone experiencing discoloration that cannot be fixed with whitening or if your teeth are damaged. Porcelain veneers are also an option if you’re unhappy with the shape or look of your natural teeth.
