Cosmetic Dentistry

Anchor Point, serving Homer and Kenai Peninsula, Alaska

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on correcting and enhancing the appearance of your teeth, mouth and smile, unlike general dentistry, with its focus on oral hygiene and the prevention and treatment of oral disease.

Advances in dental technology make it possible for today’s modern dentists, like Jeff Bartley, DDS, to offer targeted solutions to create more symmetrical and attractive smiles, with an eye towards overall oral health.

A common cosmetic dentistry procedure performed by Dr. Bartley is the Smile Makeover. The goal of a Smile Makeover is to improve and enhance your smile using several cosmetic dentistry procedures that might include porcelain veneers, dental implants, and teeth whitening, among other techniques and procedures.

A host of other options is also available. Advanced cosmetic dentistry procedures performed by Dr. Bartley include:

Dental Bonding: Bonding uses a tooth colored composite material to correct chips, jagged edges, and minor gaps in the teeth. The bonding material mimics enamel and, when applied to the tooth’s surface, is sculpted, shaped, contoured and polished for an undetectable correction.

Dental Implants: Implants are designed to replace missing teeth, important because the space caused by the missing tooth can cause other teeth around it to shift, and can cause the face to appear ‘collapsed’ and older. Dental implants offer a more attractive smile, a more youthful appearance, and a way to save natural teeth.

Dental Fillings: Although fillings may sound more like a general dentistry treatment, fillings fall into the cosmetic dentistry category too, because of the artistry involved in using porcelain and composite resin materials to create a tooth-like appearance.

Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin laminates bonded to the tooth’s surface to replace chips, cracks, a worn appearance or discoloration. Veneers can also restore brilliant whiteness to your teeth and correct gaps that cannot be corrected with bonding.

Teeth Whitening: A very popular procedure, teeth whitening can eliminate stains caused by tea, coffee and wine drinking, smoking, poor brushing techniques, aging and certain medicines. The Opalescence Teeth Whitening System effectively whitens and brightens teeth in about one hour in-office, and Dr. Bartley will send you home with an at-home bleaching kit you can use to maintain your great results.

If you are unhappy with your smile, you have an incredible choice of options. Please contact the Anchor Point office of Dr. Jeff Bartley today to find out more about available treatments to beautify your smile.
