Creating Flawless Smiles with Porcelain Veneers

August 2, 2012

Feeling confident about your smile is important, but two common problems can stand in your way: crooked or oddly spaced teeth and teeth stains. Thankfully, there’s a cosmetic dentistry service that makes it possible to overcome both of these in just two to three visit to Dr. Carmen’s Normal dental officeporcelain veneers.

Rejuvenate Your Smile without Braces

Do you wish you had a straighter smile, but you don’t want to spend months or years with braces? Porcelain veneers can help by covering imperfections to create a smile that looks naturally straight. Depending on your situation, though, hiding crooked, chipped, or misaligned teeth with porcelain veneers may not be your best option. That’s why we always recommend that patients dreaming of a straighter smile see us for a consultation visit before making up their minds. During a consultation visit, we can talk to you about the procedure, your smile, and your options. Then, if porcelain veneers really are right for you, we can begin working on your treatment plan immediately.

A Whiter Smile without Teeth Whitening

In addition to creating straighter-looking smiles, porcelain veneers can also help you overcome difficult teeth stains. After all, there are some stains that even the best professional whitening system can have trouble cutting through. But with porcelain veneers, you can enjoy a white smile without having to worry how effective your treatment will be or how long it will last.

Do you want to know more about how porcelain veneers can help you create a straighter, whiter smile? Call Dr. Carmen’s Norman dental office today to set up an appointment with us. Dr. Carmen serves patients from Moore, The University of Oklahoma, Central Oklahoma, and beyond.

June 8, 2012

Are you anticipating a family vacation this summer? Or what about either a family reunion or a wedding? Events like these always involve pictures, and if you’re already embarrassed of your smile, you might find yourself dreading what you should be excited about. All of which is why Dr. Carmen offers professional teeth whitening at his Norman dental office.

Powerful Results with Kör Whitening

At Dr. Carmen’s Norman dental office, we use Kör Whitening, one of the most sophisticated and effective professional teeth whitening systems available, to help patients revitalize their smiles and their confidence.

Teeth Whitening Options from Dr. Carmen

Using the Kör Whitening system, Dr. Carmen offers two convenient teeth whitening options: in-office and take-home teeth whitening. In both cases, patients can look forward to experiencing professional results and little to no sensitivity at all. Which one you choose all has to do with how soon you want to see results. If you’re looking for immediate results, you may want to choose in-office teeth whitening. With in-office teeth whitening, it takes just an hour to create a smile that’s more than 10 times whiter. If you don’t mind waiting a little longer for results, or you’d simply like to whiten your smile in your own home, take-home whiteng can help you achieve the same dazzling results.

Tooth-Colored Fillings—A Cosmetic Twist on Restorative Dentistry

March 30, 2012

When you hear your dentist mention fillings, do you immediately think of grayish-black amalgam fillings?

Some offices may still use amalgam fillings to treat decay, but not Dr. Carmen’s Norman dental office. Here, we use tooth-colored fillings to restore smiles and change lives. You might think of them as a cosmetic twist on an important restorative dentistry service.

The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, aren’t made of metals, the way that amalgams are. That means that, unlike amalgams, they won’t change shape over time or become brittle and crack, allowing for bacterial reinvasion. Instead, they’ll remain strong and supportive for years to come, preserving your natural tooth structure in the process.

And what’s more, tooth-colored fillings can be shaded to exactly match the color of your teeth. Instead of standing out and causing you to feel self-conscious about your smile, they’ll blend right now. No one but you and Dr. Carmen will ever have to know you have them.

Do you need fillings? Don’t put off treatment any longer. Call Dr. Carmen’s Norman dental office today to schedule an appointment with us. We’d be happy to answer any questions you might have about tooth-colored fillings or any of our other services. Get in touch with us today. We serve patients from The University of Oklahoma, Norman, Moore, Central Oklahoma, and beyond.

What Is a Smile Makeover?

February 29, 2012

As February turns into March, warmer weather is on the way. And with this warmer weather comes thoughts of heading outdoors and enjoying the sunshine.

There are a lot of ways you can prepare for this welcome change, and one of them is with a smile makeover from Dr. Carmen’s Norman dental office.

What is a smile makeover, exactly?

It’s a combination of cosmetic dentistry services designed to help you achieve your brightest, most dazzling smile possible.

When planning a smile makeover, Dr. Carmen will take a range of factors into consideration, including aspects like tooth color, tooth length, tooth alignment, and tooth integrity.

Based on what we find from a thorough oral exam, we can then recommend which services we think will benefit you the most. For some, that may just be teeth whitening. For others, we may recommend a combination of two or more services, like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers.

Are you ready to get started on a smile makeover for this spring or summer? Call our office to schedule a consultation. Dr. Carmen serves patients from Norman, Moore, the University of Oklahoma, and beyond.  During your visit, we’d be happy to answer any questions you might have about our services and how they can help you boost your smile.

A Long-Lasting Cosmetic Alternative with Porcelain Veneers

July 20, 2011

If your teeth are slightly misaligned or stained, you have options for fixing them. In just a couple of years, braces can correct a misaligned smile, while professional whitening can leave teeth as much as eight shades brighter.

But, depending on your case, neither of these may be right for you. Maybe your teeth aren’t misaligned enough to make braces practical, or perhaps professional whitening hasn’t done anything about your stains.
