Talk to Dr. Wilcox about the options most suitable cosmetic dentistry option for you, including:

Whitening / Bleaching
Everybody loves a bright white smile, and Dr. Wilcox offers a variety of products and procedures to help you improve the look of yours.

A celebrity smile is just 1 visit away! Dr. Wilcox offers a procedure called light-activated zoom bleaching. Now you can have the same bright smile as the starts – as seen on TV’s Extreme Makeover – in one visit, even during your lunch hour!

A number of in-office bleaching agents have the ADA Seal of Acceptance, and Dr. Wilcox’s assurance that they have met ADA standards of safety and effectiveness.

Whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, yellow-ish hued teeth will probably bleach well, brownish-colored teeth may bleach less well, and grayish-hued teeth may not bleach well at all.

If you have had tooth-colored fillings placed in your front teeth, bleaching may not enhance your smile. In these cases, you may want to investigate other options, like porcelain veneers or dental bonding.

Veneers
There's no reason to put up with gaps in your teeth or with teeth that are stained, badly shaped or crooked. Today a veneer placed on top of your teeth can correct nature's mistake or the results of an injury and help you have a beautiful smile.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. A dental technician makes them in a dental lab, working from a model custom-made by Dr. Wilcox and his trained staff for quality control you can count on.

You should know that veneers treatments are usually an irreversible process, because it's necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to accommodate the shell.

Bonding
Increasing numbers of older adults are keeping their teeth longer, greater awareness of oral health care, and a greatly increased demand for cosmetic services such as bonding.

Thanks to bonding techniques, you don’t have to live with chips, gaps or stains on your teeth. Dr. Wilcox uses the following approach for bonding:

• He prepares the surface of your tooth with an etching solution.

• Then, special composite resin materials are carefully blended to create a color that matches your own teeth.

• These materials are applied and shaped to match the specific contours of your teeth.

• Finally, they are hardened with a curing light and bonded in place.

Teeth that have been bonded look very natural, and the process is an affordable and effective way to have the smile you have always wanted. Ask Dr. Wilcox if bonding is the best option for you.
