Bonding

Bonding is an effective option for patients who would like to improve the appearance of their smile by repairing minor dental flaws. Bonding can be completed in just a single appointment at our Seattle, WA dental practice. Prior to the procedure, the surface of the tooth will be prepared to receive an application of resin. Resin is a putty-like, tooth-colored material.

Once the tooth has been prepared, the dentist will carefully apply the resin to the tooth and then shape, sculpt, and color it to match the look of the surrounding natural teeth. At that point, a special light will be used to make the resin bond to your tooth. Once the resin has bonded to the tooth, the dentist will smooth and polish the resin for optimal aesthetic results. If you have any questions about the bonding procedure, we invite you to contact our office today.

Bridges

Dental bridges are a wonderful option for patients who are missing one or more teeth. They can restore function to the bite while giving you a complete, beautiful smile. We invite you to contact our office today to learn more about the benefits of fixed dental bridges.

Crowns

Crowns can be used to restore a damaged tooth or to enhance a tooth that is poorly shaped and cannot function correctly. We will create your custom crown in our dental lab. Crowns are a wonderful option for many of our patients and can be created using aesthetic, tooth-colored materials so that you can enjoy a naturally beautiful smile. We invite you to contact our Seattle, WA dental practice today to learn if dental crowns are right for you.

Implant Restorations

After receiving an implant, it needs to be restored or finished with a post (abutment) and crown, or simply just a crown.  Please contact our office today for more information regarding implant restorations.

Inlays/Onlays

For patients who have tooth decay that has not destroyed all of the tooth’s healthy enamel, we may recommend an inlay or onlay (also known as partial crowns). The procedure itself is very similar to the procedure to receive a crown. When your inlay or onlay has been placed, it is very important to maintain a proper oral hygiene routine in order to prolong the life of the treatment and your teeth. If you have any questions about the dental treatments we offer, we invite you to give our office a call. Our knowledgeable staff will be happy to answer your questions.

Teeth Whitening (Bleaching)

At our Seattle, WA dental practice, we understand that having a smile that you can be proud of directly affects your confidence level. To help improve your smile, we offer several teeth whitening options that are designed to quickly and effectively brighten your teeth. With our custom whitening trays, you will visit our office for an initial appointment where we will take the molds that will help us create your trays. Once the trays have been created, you will visit our office again to ensure the fit and you can then take them with you to begin whitening your teeth in the comfort of your own home. The dentist will give you specific instructions on how to whiten your teeth effectively with the custom take-home trays.

Another whitening option we offer is in-office bleaching. This takes just a single appointment at our office that usually lasts a few hours. We use a dental laser to accelerate the whitening process. After the laser whitening process is complete, you will have a brighter, more beautiful smile. It is fairly normal to experience some sensitivity immediately after the whitening appointment, but the dentist will let you know how to handle any sensitivity that you may feel. If you are interested in whitening your teeth, we invite you to contact our Seattle, WA dental practice today to schedule your whitening consultation.
