When considering changing your smile’s appearance, the first step is to book an evaluation with Dr. Hareid to discuss your ideas, concerns, and treatment options.
She’ll use this time to talk with you and gather information about your smile through photos, x-rays, and a thorough exam. This evaluation includes a discussion of any underlying dental health issues that may need to be addressed before cosmetic treatments can proceed. She can make suitable treatment recommendations as she understands your goals for your smile. You’ll always have the final say on what’s best for your smile goals, lifestyle, and budget.
Here’s more information about some cosmetic treatments Dr. Hareid may recommend for your smile.
Porcelain Veneers and Composite Bonding
Dental veneers and bonding solve many of the same cosmetic issues using slightly different approaches.
Veneers are thin layers of customized porcelain that cover the front surface of your tooth, changing its size, shape, and shade as needed. Dr. Hareid can redesign your smile with dental veneers, creating the brightness and symmetry associated with a beautiful smile.
Are you a porcelain veneers candidate? Generally, an ideal candidate has healthy teeth and gums but wishes to correct imperfections like permanent stains, minor gaps, or chipped enamel. During your consultation, Dr. Hareid will evaluate your oral health to ensure veneers are the most durable and aesthetic choice for your goals.
Porcelain veneers are best for: Patients seeking a "porcelain veneers candidate" evaluation for a total smile redesign.
Composite veneers add composite resin material to your tooth to create your new look. We can typically complete this procedure in one appointment, and it’s normally less invasive and less costly than dental veneers.
Composite veneers are best for: Cost-effective, immediate repairs to individual teeth.
Porcelain Crowns
Dental crowns cover your tooth entirely and closely mimic the shape and shade of your natural tooth, protecting the integrity of your root. Crowns add strength, stability, and aesthetics to your smile.
Dental crowns are best for: Restoring both the strength and the beauty of a damaged tooth.
