Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry at its best is a combination of art and science that delivers beautiful results which are healthy and functional. Aesthetically pleasing results do not mean that any underlying dental problems are ignored – they are always addressed by Dr. Kleive’s health-centered approach. Dental beauty depends on dental health.
Dr. Kleive has found that best results come from close communication and a partnership with his patients. You direct the course of your treatment with guidance from Dr. Kleive that is based on his training and experience but also addresses your goals and values.
Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Dr. Kleive offers a full range of cosmetic dental procedures and we invite you to learn more about each one. Porcelain veneers are a convenient and quick way to transform your front teeth and your smile. If you have discolored teeth, tooth whitening is best done first, so the porcelain can be matched to your new brighter tooth color.
Perhaps you would like to have your old metal fillings replaced with white porcelain fillings which look like (and are) part of the tooth. Another way of doing white fillings is with dental bonding, and this versatile substance can also be used to fill little chips or shallow cracks, or small gaps between teeth. If you have any severely damaged teeth, a dental crown can give them a complete set of new surfaces and prolong their life. Porcelain crowns cannot be distinguished from your natural teeth.
If you have any missing teeth and have become tired of dealing with dentures, dental implants are a way of anchoring replacement teeth right in the jawbone. Implants can also hold bridges, either permanent or removable.
In past years adults who wished to straighten their teeth had to wear braces and deal with metal in their mouth for a couple of years. That is no longer necessary, as Invisalign is a convenient and effective alternative. A gummy smile does not have to be tolerated either and Dr. Kleive can recontour the gums to reveal more of the hidden tooth enamel.
Smile Makeovers
A Smile Makeover is the ultimate cosmetic dental treatment, a customized set of procedures designed to address all of your cosmetic dental problems.
Full mouth reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction goes even further than a Smile Makeover, treating more severe dental problems as well as all cosmetic dental problems. It is an extensive set of procedures that fully rejuvenates even the most deeply damaged mouth. Very few people need this extensive treatment, but for those who do, the benefits can be life changing.
