TL;DR
Cosmetic care at Stone Falls Dental Care covers whitening, including KöR professional bleaching, porcelain veneers, all-porcelain crowns and full smile makeovers. Dr. Prane plans each case around your bite and gum health as well as the shade and shape you’d like, and the smile gallery shows six of the practice’s own cases. A consultation comes first, and nothing begins until you’ve seen and agreed to the plan.
How does Dr. Prane plan cosmetic work?
She plans from the bite outward. A veneer or crown that looks right but meets the opposite tooth badly will chip, wear or come loose, so the first appointment looks at how your jaw closes, how your teeth have worn and how healthy your gums are. Dr. Prane completed the Dawson Academy’s core curriculum and hands-on series, training built around how the teeth, muscles and jaw joints work together, and she is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Then comes the look itself: the shade, the length of the front teeth, how the edges line up and where the gumline sits. We’ll talk through what you would change and what’s realistic for your teeth, and the plan is set down before any work begins.
What can cosmetic dentistry change?
Most concerns fall into a few kinds. Color is the simplest to change, with professional whitening or KöR deep bleaching for stubborn and tetracycline stains. Chips, gaps and uneven edges are often corrected with porcelain veneers. Teeth that are broken down, heavily filled or worn short may need all-porcelain crowns, which add strength as well as a new surface.
Larger changes combine several of these into a smile makeover. Two cases in our smile gallery show the range: six upper front teeth with uneven edges, gumline and shade, restored with six anterior crowns, and an upper arch of stained, worn and chipped teeth rebuilt with eight all-porcelain crowns. Every mouth is different, and results vary.
The practice has run offers on cosmetic work, including $500 off six or more front porcelain crowns or veneers and a whitening program for patients who keep their regular checkups. Ask the front desk which offers are current.
