Veneers

Customized veneers are crafted by skilled technicians and placed over the front surfaces of teeth. They can conceal all types of flaws (i.e., gaps, chips, cracks, stains, misshapen teeth, mild misalignment, etc.) and can last 10+ years as long as you commit to taking better care of your smile. While veneers require the removal of a small portion of tooth enamel for optimal placement, Lumineers do not. Thinner than traditional veneers, these custom coverings are reversible but deliver the same great coverage.

Metal-Free Dental Restorations

As a health-conscious, conservative dentist who cares about patients’ smiles and total-body health, Dr. Mahler uses metal-free restorations. Should you suffer from damaged or decayed teeth that need protection, he can use lithium disilicate, EMAX, zirconia, or bruxir to create a natural appearance that delivers greater function as well as beautiful aesthetics.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is a less invasive form of treatment that does not require the removal of tooth enamel to conceal imperfections. Instead, we use a composite resin that is color-matched and applied directly to the front surfaces of teeth. Dr. Mahler will sculpt the resin into place before using a curing light to harden it. The process takes only one appointment, and you can expect a smile that looks flawless when we are finished.

Teeth Whitening

When you no longer feel good about your smile because of the tooth stains that have formed over the years, our team can recommend a new way to eliminate discoloration and brighten your smile – teeth whitening. Using Pola at-home whitening kits, we make it easy to treat your teeth on your own time so that you see noticeable results in just two weeks. Complete with custom whitening trays and bleaching gel, you can whiten when it’s convenient for you.

Gum Recontouring/ Crown Lengthening

Excessive gum tissue that grows around teeth can be problematic if left untreated. While the appearance may cause you to feel embarrassed or ashamed, it is the risk of gum disease that is the real concern. To alleviate this problem while also enhancing the look of your smile, Dr. Mahler can perform gum recontouring with our diode laser, which is the process of removing excess gum tissue to create a more balanced gumline. A similar process – crown lengthening – can be used to expose more tooth enamel so that custom restorations can be bonded into place for greater tooth protection.

Digital Smile Design

Smile 312 General Cosmetic Implant Dentistry is pleased to have a 100% digital workflow. Part of this means that we can incorporate the use of digital smile design into your treatment plan so that you can see your results beforehand. This innovative solution eliminates the guesswork associated with cosmetic dentistry, making it possible for you to feel more confident about your future results and comfortable with the work Dr. Mahler and our team will provide.

Smile Makeovers

Smile makeovers can be a great way to address multiple aesthetic dental imperfections. Dr. Mahler will examine your teeth and gums and listen to your concerns before developing a treatment plan that incorporates two or more restorative or cosmetic dentistry procedures. This streamlined process makes it easier and more conducive as opposed to addressing each individual problem, which not only costs more but requires more time.
