Treatment Options
Whether you’re looking for subtle refinements or a more noticeable transformation, our cosmetic dentistry services will have you smiling your best smile.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening will brighten your smile safely. We offer custom take-home whitening trays that fit comfortably because we customize them especially for your smile. You’ll receive professional-strength whitening gel that delivers even, controlled results. Our whitening treatments, under the guidance of Dr. Courter, offer less sensitivity than many over-the-counter products.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a versatile treatment used to correct chips, small gaps, worn edges, and minor cosmetic flaws. Dr. Courter applies a tooth-colored resin that is shaped and polished to blend naturally with the surrounding enamel. Bonding is a conservative option, often completed in a single visit, and requires minimal removal of tooth structure.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations used to support a tooth. They are useful when a patient needs more support than a filling can provide, but they don’t quite need a crown. For example, when there are large cavities or fractures in the tooth. Crafted from durable materials, inlays and onlays strengthen the tooth and restore its natural shape. They are bonded securely in place and look natural.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are customized and applied to the front of the teeth. Veneers can fix a range of cosmetic concerns, such as discoloration, uneven spacing, worn edges, or minor misalignment. Dr. Courter works closely with each patient to design veneers that look natural and complement their facial features. This process includes careful planning, shade selection, and precise placement to ensure the final result blends beautifully with each smile. Veneers provide long-lasting, highly aesthetic results, making them a trusted option for patients looking for a dramatic change.
Crowns
Cosmetic crowns are used to restore function and appearance to severely damaged, worn or structurally compromised teeth. Our practice offers zirconia and e.max crowns, two high-quality materials known for their strength and durability. Zirconia is an excellent choice for the back teeth that require strength for chewing, while e.max offers superior translucency, ideal for front teeth where appearance is a priority. Dr. Courter ensures each crown is customized, shaped and shaded to blend in with your smile.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a discreet, flexible way to straighten your teeth. They are more popular than traditional braces as they create less of an impact on your everyday life compared to traditional braces. The trays are removable for eating and brushing, and they offer a much more subtle appearance. If you are a good candidate for aligners, we will custom-make trays just for you that will gradually guide your teeth into better alignment. Aligners can correct crowding, spacing, or mild bite concerns.
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic treatments to help patients achieve their ideal smile. Dr. Courter begins with a comprehensive evaluation of tooth shape, color, alignment, and overall aesthetics to understand each patient’s goals. A personalized plan may include whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, or aligners, depending on the changes desired. When helpful, trial smiles or mockups are used to preview potential outcomes.
