How Important is your Smile?

veneers-largeIs a nice smile about more than looking nice? Yes. A smile is a wordless expression anyone can use to connect.
But at risk of stating the obvious, it’s nice to look nice.

Enter cosmetic dentistry. In our book (and most other books, too) your smile is the hands-down most important part of your appearance to invest in. A bright, well-aligned smile is powerful. It exudes confidence. And most importantly, an uninhibited, beautiful smile shows people who you really are.  

At Kristen Ritzau’s Dental Office, we have extensive experience with:

  • Veneers
  • Implants
  • Natural-looking porcelain dental crowns and bridges
  • Dental bonding
  • Teeth whitening
  • Tooth-colored composite fillings

Of course, a list of dental jargon isn’t really what you want. You want to know what cosmetic dentistry can do for you. And which treatments are the best choice for your unique situation.

You’re in luck:

Veneers:

Veneers can change your smile significantly in a few short days. During the process, porcelain dental veneers are custom fitted over your real teeth and the color, shape and length of your teeth can be completely changed, customized to your perfect smile.

Dental implants:

If you’ve lost teeth due to an injury, illness, or if certain teeth are simply beyond repair, dental implants are the solution for you.  They look, feel and function just like your own teeth.

Porcelain Crowns:

Are your teeth fractured, over filled or damaged? Porcelain crowns are a natural-looking alternative to metal crowns. The porcelain covering adds strength and a natural look.  You can blend color, change shape and rebuild what was lost.

Dental bonding:

If you have an individual tooth that has lost a small amount of structure, has decay or an old mercury filling; or if you have several front teeth that are off just a bit, Dr. Ritzau can use a realistic-looking tooth colored bonding material to repair your tooth/teeth and make your smile like new and a bit on!

Teeth Whitening:

Ah, white teeth. We wouldn’t dream of finishing our article without touching on this fundamental. Too much coffee or tea, perhaps? Or simply tired of a less-than-bright smile? Dr. Ritzau and her expert staff can give you bright, white teeth in one visit that will make a profound difference in how you show the world who you are.
