Porcelain Veneers
Most of the beautiful and dramatic smile makeovers you see on television are achieved through porcelain veneers. Resembling real teeth in size, shape and color, porcelain veneers make an immediately visible difference in the appearance of your teeth by correcting chipped teeth, crooked teeth, gaps in teeth, dull teeth or stained teeth. Dr. Franklin skillfully bonds and shapes thin strips of porcelain to your teeth. Within a few hours, begin enjoying a straight, white, natural-looking smile that enhances your overall appearance and your self-esteem.
Tooth Whitening
Instantly enhance your appearance with a dazzling, white smile. You might be happy with the alignment and spacing of your teeth. However, time has dulled or yellowed your smile’s color. A tooth whitening procedure may be all that separates you from a brilliant smile. Tooth whitening is safe, effective and long lasting. Dr. Franklin conveniently offers two options in tooth whitening.
At Home Whitening
Whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. Your custom home whitening kit involves a special tray that is customized by Dr. Franklin to fit over your teeth. You also receive prescription whitening gel, which is inserted into the tray before you wear it. Talk through detailed instructions with our specially trained team about how long you should wear the tray each day. Look forward to a dazzling white smile within two to four weeks!
Opalescence Boost Whitening
Experience one of the latest advancements in dental technology – the Opalescence Boost Whitening System! Opalescence Boost features a unique, chemically activated formula allowing Dr. Franklin to whiten your teeth without the bothersome heat or ultraviolet rays of a light. Dr. Franklin carefully applies a professional-grade bleaching gel to your teeth. Keeping your safety in mind, this professional formula contains ingredients proven to strengthen enamel, decrease sensitivity and help fight cavities. In just 90 minutes, Dr. Franklin reveals your new bright, white smile, and you’re ready to show it to the world!
Porcelain Bridges
Gum disease, injury, decay or simply years of wear can all cause tooth loss. When teeth are missing, your smile undergoes significant problematic changes. Missing teeth cause difficulty chewing and mouth pain. As your remaining teeth work to compensate for the loss, gaps and spaces form that only make the situation worse. A porcelain bridge, custom designed by Dr. Franklin, keeps your smile aligned and your bite functional. Bridges are anchored to existing teeth or crowns on either side of the missing tooth and are a long-lasting solution. They are semi-permanent, meaning they can only be affixed or removed by a dentist. Your restoration appears just like natural teeth in shape and in color leaving you with a flawless smile.
Porcelain Crowns
Erase years of wear and tear on your teeth while returning your smile to brilliance. Your teeth undergo a tremendous amount of stress during your lifetime and show it in a variety of ways. Crowns restore your teeth from discoloration, chipping and cracking. Porcelain crowns are shaded to match your teeth, giving you a beautiful, natural looking smile. After some preparation of the tooth or teeth that will receive the crown(s), Dr. Franklin positions a custom milled, lifelike porcelain crown over your damaged tooth, restoring and rejuvenating your oral health.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Don’t hide your smile because of decayed, disfigured or discolored teeth. Solve your problems and smile freely again with tooth colored fillings. When decay is removed from the tooth, it is replaced with “filling” material. In the past, amalgam (silver) fillings were placed into the cleaned out portion of the tooth. With advancements in dentistry, you now have the choice of tooth-colored fillings instead of silver fillings. Matching your existing teeth beautifully, you may choose to replace your old silver fillings with new, unnoticeable tooth-colored fillings.
Bonding
Let Dr. Franklin correct chipped and broken teeth, stained or discolored teeth and, in some cases, gaps between teeth through bonding. Bonding is a tooth-colored material applied and adhered to the surface of the tooth, often without reducing the structure of the tooth. Dr. Franklin artistically sculpts the bonding material to create your new, natural-looking tooth.
Gum Contouring
When you smile, do you see a lot of gum tissue? Many people with “gummy smiles” don’t know there are treatments available to cosmetically enhance the look of their gums. Dr. Franklin can easily reshape the appearance of your gum tissue. With the addition of beautiful porcelain veneers, your gummy smile disappears leaving you with a stunning smile that looks natural and proportioned. The entire process takes just a few visits and because of advancements in cosmetic techniques, your comfort is assured.
Laser Gum Lift
Your soft pink gum tissue is a beautiful frame for your teeth. But sometimes uneven, discolored or too much gum tissue can detract from your smile’s natural beauty. Let Dr. Franklin easily correct this dental problem with a laser gum lift. With the use of a local anesthetic and laser, your gum tissue is gently contoured to give your smile an even, proportional look. Advancements in lasers allow your gum tissue to rapidly heal with very little discomfort.
Smile Makeover
If you have waited years, months or even weeks to enhance your smile, you’ve felt the anticipation building. After much waiting and excitement, be sure you get exactly the smile you want through a full smile makeover. A smile makeover means using a combination of two or more cosmetic treatments to reach your desired result. During your initial consultation, describe your dream smile to Dr. Franklin and then listen as he carefully develops a plan for you to make all of it come true. Your smile needs are unlike any other, so your treatment combination will be completely unique to you.
Lumineers
Enjoy a simple, painless way to achieve the beautiful, white, natural-looking smile you want. Thinner than traditional veneers, Lumineers can be placed directly over your existing teeth without any drilling or shots. This amazing new technology has been proven to last for over 20 years, reducing your need for upgrades and reattachments. The entire process takes just two simple visits. First, Dr. Franklin takes a mold of your existing teeth and talks with you about the correct shade and size of Lumineer. On your second visit, your Lumineers are placed and checked for size and fit. You’re left with a beautiful, long-lasting smile that is sure to turn heads!
