It is easy to take our smiles for granted — most people have been smiling since they were only a few months old. One of our first instincts as human beings is to reach out to other people by expressing our joy or happiness through smiling. To the delight of parents and grandparents all over the world, babies are quick to smile. However, as we get older, some of us become self-conscious about our smiles. If you live in the Menomonie, Wisconsin area and are searching for a cosmetic dentist’s office. You likely want someone who will take the time to listen to your specific preferences and work with you on an individual basis to help achieve the terrific smile you have always wanted. Listed below are some questions you should ask when deciding on a cosmetic dentist’s office. At Gentle Dental Care, we are always happy to take the time to answer your questions, so you are comfortable moving forward with your cosmetic treatment plan.
Once you have booked your consultation appointment with our dental team, we will talk with you about your aesthetic goals and discuss all of our services that can help you reach them.
There is nothing quite like having your teeth whitened by a professional. You can use all the at-home whiteners you want, but once you have your teeth professionally whitened, you will probably never go back to doing it yourself.
In just a short time, professional whitening can quickly and effectively remove years of discoloration and stains, leaving you with a dazzlingly bright smile.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-designed pieces of porcelain that can completely transform your smile. With CEREC same-day porcelain veneers, you can be smile-ready with your new veneers with just one visit.
Veneers can hide a variety of imperfections.
Also, not all patients are the same. While one patient might need porcelain veneers, another may be more suited to dental implants. We will discuss all the available options to help you make the best decision about your oral health.
In today’s world of advanced cosmetic dentistry, composite resin and dental ceramics can bring not just health and function back to your teeth but also give you a brand-new smile. If your teeth have been compromised because of injuries, disease, or decay, we can improve your overall oral health and your smile’s appearance with tooth-colored fillings, onlays, inlays, or crowns that blend in with your natural smile.
When it comes to your smile, your gums play a vital role in how your teeth look. If your smile is too “gummy” or your gums are asymmetrical, we can perform gentle gum recontouring that can bring balance to your smile. Additionally, gum contouring can promote overall better oral health.
As part of your consultation, we will discuss all of the costs and work with you to ensure that your treatment plan fits your budget. In many cases, alternative options are available to help you achieve your smile goals. We also offer financing options and are happy to work with your insurance provider to determine if your services are covered by your dental benefits, such as restorative treatments that will also have the benefit of enhancing the appearance of your smile.
Yes! In addition to using biocompatible cosmetic treatment options, we also offer many other natural dental services such as amalgam removal, ozone therapy, and laser therapy. Suppose allergies are a concern, or you have different reasons for wanting a holistic dentist. In that case, you may want to ensure that your cosmetic dentist offers holistic dentistry practices as we do at Gentle Dental Care.
