Working with our patients, we can address all their cosmetic dental concerns and help them design the best comprehensive treatment plan. This is where Dr. Starr really shines brightest. He understands the overall value of a smile makeover and will customize and execute a treatment plan that is best for your long term functional and esthetic needs.

YOUR SMILE MAKEOVER APPOINTMENT

Your initial smile makeover appointment will be detailed and thorough. Dr. Starr wants to understand your goals and what you are hoping to achieve. During the time together, he will want to review your medical history, including any medications you are taking, even if the treatment seems irrelevant to your mouth or teeth.

Dr. Starr will perform a full examination of your mouth and surrounding area. He will examine your head, neck, intraoral, dental, periodontal and occlusal condition in its current status. Dr. Starr will often provide the patient with a chairside composite mockup to help design the best treatment plan for your smile. Using this information, he can then make recommendations and a treatment plan.  This basic preview will allow for better communication with the patient before treatment begins. He will take your physical, financial, functional and aesthetic needs into consideration.

With a plan in place, he can then create a diagnostic mockup, which will allow for incredible treatment precision. Your diagnostic mockup helps the doctors to identify and fine-tune any adjustments as necessary before the final treatments are performed

A SMILE MAKEOVER MAY INCLUDE:

  • Porcelain Veneers: A dental veneer is a thin porcelain shell that we can bond to the face of your tooth. This is a simple way to conceal minor imperfections or improve the look of your tooth. Veneers are used to conceal teeth that have chipped, cracked, stained, or need gaps closed. They can also be used to help teeth appear straighter or even.
  • Teeth Whitening: Whitening your teeth is one of the fastest ways to make a large impact on the look of your teeth. Working with Dr. Starr we can personalize your treatment to fit your needs. Store bought products take considerable time. We can whiten your teeth faster and better.
  • Gum Reshaping: Known in dentistry as gingival sculpting, we can help you with a gummy smile. Excessive gum tissue is unattractive and can provide places for bacteria to hide. A simple in-office procedure can make a significant impact on your look and oral health.
  • Dental Bonding: Small chips and cracks may be able to be fixed with simple dental bonding. Using composite filling material, we can cover small imperfections in your teeth. This process is simple, fast and painless.
  • Replace Old Fillings: Old dental restorations can wear down, discolor, or disrupt your bite balance. Replacing old fillings is a fast and simple way to improve the look of your smile
  • Create a Customized Prosthetic Device: Whether you need a dental crown, a fixed dental bridge, a partial or a full denture, we can restore your damaged or missing teeth. Dr. Starr specializes in the creation and placement of ceramic restorations. Working closely with his technician in his onsite lab, he is able to offer a full range of restorations, including all-ceramic high strength veneers, crowns and bridges.
