The Magic of Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are crafted as thin, wafer-like shells designed to boost the front surface of your teeth. They are most commonly crafted from porcelain or resin composite materials. Veneers are an excellent solution for a variety of dental issues, including:

• Discolored Teeth: Teeth that are severely stained or discolored and do not respond well to whitening treatments can benefit from veneers. The material used for veneers is stain-resistant and can provide a natural, bright appearance.
• Worn Down Teeth: Veneers can protect teeth that have been worn down by providing a durable, protective covering.
• Chipped or Broken Teeth: Veneers can cover up chips and cracks, giving your teeth a smooth, consistent and perfect appearance
• Misaligned or Irregularly Shaped Teeth: Veneers can create an even, symmetrical smile by addressing minor misalignments or irregular shapes.

By addressing these issues, dental veneers not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile but also contribute to better oral health by protecting damaged teeth.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the teeth. This material is then hardened with a special light, bonding it to the tooth. Dental bonding can effectively restore the appearance of your smile by:

• Repairing Decayed Teeth: The composite resin used in bonding can fill cavities and restore decayed teeth to their natural appearance.
• Fixing Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Bonding can repair minor chips and cracks, providing a seamless look.
• Improving the Shape of Teeth: Bonding can be used to alter the shape of teeth, making them look longer or closing unsightly gaps between teeth.
• Covering Discoloration: For teeth that are discolored, bonding can cover up the stains, providing a brighter smile.

Dental bonding is a cost-effective and minimally invasive treatment that can make significant improvements to the appearance of your teeth, boosting your confidence and overall oral health.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments. It involves bleaching your teeth to make them look lighter. This treatment can:

• Remove Stains: Teeth can become stained from various foods, drinks and habits like smoking. Professional teeth whitening can effectively remove these stains and restore the natural color of your teeth.
• Enhance Your Smile: A whiter smile can significantly improve your overall appearance, making you look younger and more vibrant.
• Boost Confidence: Having a brighter, whiter smile can increase your confidence and make you feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.

Professional teeth whitening treatments are safe and can produce dramatic results quickly, helping you achieve a dazzling smile to wow the world around you.

Conclusion

Cosmetic dentistry treatments like dental veneers, dental bonding and teeth whitening offer numerous benefits beyond just improving the appearance of your smile. They can restore the functionality and health of your teeth, boost your confidence and enhance your overall quality of life.

Q1: How can a dental cleaning improve my smile for summer events?

This service not only cleans your teeth but also removes plaque and tartar that brushing alone can’t tackle. A thorough cleaning can brighten your smile and improve your oral health, ensuring you look your best for any social event.

Q2: I have a chipped tooth. Can dental bonding help for summer weddings and parties?

A2: Absolutely! Dental bonding is a quick and effective way to repair chipped, cracked or misshapen teeth. Our skilled prosthodontists at Denver Restorative Dentistry use a tooth-colored resin to reshape your tooth and make it look natural and flawless. The procedure is simple and usually completed in one visit, making it ideal for last-minute enhancements before your summer events.

Q3: What are dental veneers and how can they transform my smile for summer vacations?

A3: Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, providing a new, whiter and more aligned appearance. They are perfect for addressing a variety of dental issues like severe staining, gaps or uneven teeth. At Denver Restorative Dentistry, we can tailor these veneers to match the shape and shade ideal for your summer glow-up, ensuring a picture-perfect smile in all your travel photos.

Q4: How can teeth whitening make a difference in my appearance for outdoor summer parties?

A4: Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments for a quick and noticeable boost in the brightness of your smile. At Denver Restorative Dentistry, we offer professional whitening services that can significantly lighten the color of your teeth, removing stains and discolorations caused by coffee, tea, wine and other substances. A whiter smile can boost your confidence immensely, making you stand out at any summer gathering.

Q5: How long do these cosmetic dental procedures take, and how soon should I schedule them before my event?

A5: Most cosmetic dental procedures at Denver Restorative Dentistry, like teeth whitening and dental bonding, can be completed in just one or two visits. Dental veneers may require a couple of appointments to perfect. We recommend scheduling a consultation at least a month before your event to allow enough time for any follow-up adjustments and to ensure your smile is exactly as you envision.

Q6: How do I maintain my new smile after receiving cosmetic dental services?

A6: Maintaining your new summer smile is simple. We recommend adhering to good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing. Avoiding substances that stain teeth, such as coffee, tea and tobacco, will also help maintain the results. Regular check-ups and cleanings at our clinic will ensure your smile stays beautiful all summer long and beyond.

All of our prosthodontists, Drs. Goggins, Aguirre, Pitz, Poineal and Chertok, are committed to bringing you the functional and aesthetically pleasing smile you desire and deserve. Our cosmetic dentistry options beautifully correct unsightly cosmetic imperfections in your teeth using dental veneers, dental bonding or teeth whitening.

1-Dental Veneers
These custom-crafted wafer thin porcelain or resin shells are bonded onto the front of your teeth. Veneers can beautify a single tooth or your whole mouth! They are ideal for sealing gaps or spaces between teeth, brightening stained or discolored teeth and straightening uneven looking teeth. They can even fix slightly twisted, curved teeth and restore a tooth that has sustained minor damage. We make your veneers in our onsite dental lab with our master technicians for the highest quality and a long-lasting smile.

2-Dental Bonding
If you are having a tooth bonded, we will place a composite resin material right onto the tooth. Our prosthodontist will expertly shape and sculpt the bonded area to fit your tooth and fix any flaws in how it looks. After the resin has hardened we can trim and polish it to perfection, leaving your smile with a long lasting beautiful restoration. This treatment effectively closes tooth gaps and spaces between teeth, corrects a tooth’s shape and color and restores teeth that are chipped or cracked. Not only will your teeth blend in naturally with the rest of your teeth with dental bonding, but we can often perform this treatment in just one comfortable visit to our office.

3-Teeth Whitening
If you have been wanting your teeth to look whiter and brighter our professional teeth whitening treatment might be your best bet! We can effectively lighten stained and discolored teeth that have darkened due to normal aging, lax dental hygiene care, drinking staining drinks (coffee, tea, wine and soda) and foods (berries, tomato-based sauces, soy sauce and curry). Your teeth can also stain dramatically if you use tobacco in any form, and from some medications and illnesses.

Your smile deserves to be healthy, beautiful and strong and we are thrilled to be a part of it. In honor of National brush day, we encourage you to help your kids brush and floss every day to keep cavities, tooth decay and gum disease away! Especially when enjoying the holiday treats with autumn in full swing and the temperatures dropping! Get out those cozy sweaters, warm apple cider, pumpkin and apple pies!

National Brush Day is also a great time to review your children’s brushing habits and emphasize the importance of daily care so their teeth and gums thrive! It’s a good idea to get your children to brush after eating sweets, and since sweets are the number one factor for tooth decay, good brushing habits are essential!

Along with daily oral care, remember that regular dental cleanings and exams are needed to keep teeth and gums healthy and strong. As the year is fast drawing to a close, time is running out to use (or lose) your dental insurance benefits, most of which run out on December 31st, and that’s a shame since you’ve already paid your premiums! The good news is, if you are scheduling cleanings and exams, they are considered preventative care so they will be covered at 100%!

Our team is grateful to be your premier prosthodontic dental practice in the Denver metro area. Our skilled prosthodontists have specialized expertise in dental implants, dentures, cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry. We provide your family with a full range of dental services from routine cleanings and exams to veneers to full mouth reconstructions.

Your smile will thank you!

In ancient Armenia, people used tools to modify and style teeth to distinguish powerful members of the community—an early nod to cosmetic dentistry.

In native cultures in North America, fossil shark teeth have been celebrated as ornaments, props in religious ceremonies, and adorned as jewelry to reflect one’s status in the community for the past 2,500 years.

At Denver Restorative Dentistry, we agree that teeth are important. The dentures we craft for patients must meet an array of standards. In addition to providing a beautiful smile, the dentures must be seamlessly functional, naturally comfortable, and easy to maintain.

We want to empower you. Do you sometimes experience soreness, irritation, or pain? Difficulty eating, speaking, or even breathing naturally? Moving or “rocking” dentures?

The dental specialists of Denver Restorative Dentistry—Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre, Dr. Anna Pitz, and Dr. Ralf Poineal—went to school to become prosthodontists, so they can provide their patients with exceptional dentures. In order to become prosthodontics, or experts in the restoration of damaged or missing teeth, the doctors must go through three additional years of education and training. The field is considered one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association.

And, thankfully, technology has flourished in the past 2,500 years! Denver Restorative Dentistry offers a full-service in-house lab, Denver Restorative Dental Lab, where the entire team approaches denture cases with state-of-the-art technology. The team consists of a master denturist—who crafts an intricately designed denture, skilled ceramists—who perfect “the amount of color that goes into a single tooth in terms of shades and translucencies,” and many other experienced professionals that are dedicated to creating your perfect smile.

The doctors offer complimentary consultations to new patients to start them on the path to a beautiful, effortless smile. One that would make your ancestors proud! A ‘smile design’ consultation allows the patient to express their wishes, as well as allows the doctors to apply their knowledge of tooth anatomy, consideration of the patient’s facial features, and, of course, their broad and meticulous technical skills.

Reclaim the ability to eat and drink and breathe, reclaim your day-to-day comfort, reclaim the power behind a confident smile. One thing that has reigned supreme, throughout the ages, is a smile.

And that’s exactly why the dental specialists of Denver Restorative Dentistry, Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre, Dr. Anna Pitz, and Dr. Ralf Poineal, went through additional years of dental school to become prosthodontics or experts in the restoration of damaged or missing teeth. The field is considered one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association.

Do you suffer from any of the below conditions?

• Gaps or spaces between teeth
• Teeth that are stained or discolored
• Twisted or curved teeth
• Worn, damaged, or uneven teeth
• Missing teeth

Cosmetic dentistry offers so many creative options to enhance your smile, but not everyone is aware of the variety! You can embrace a beautiful smile with options such as crowns, veneers, or implants—all explained below!

Crowns

 Although crowns are historically a more traditional dental treatment, crowns are also a vital tool in cosmetic dentistry.

 Crowns restore a damaged tooth to pristine form, shape and shaded to perfection. Premium materials (such as zirconia or porcelain) are shaped by laboratory professionals in order to enclose over the entirety of the tooth, thus producing a beautiful tooth that fits your smile perfectly.

 Veneers

 Veneers are a beautiful, seamless solution to misshaped, chipped, discolored teeth. Veneers are smooth shells (usually porcelain or resin) that are bonded to your smile to enhance its natural beauty.

 Implants

An implant is a lasting, stable prosthetic tooth that completely replaces one tooth, several missing teeth, or a complete arch. The entire implant also replaces the tooth root, as well, ensuring a stable solution.

 As well as enhance appearance, implants can restore your smile back to optimal health and function.

“We can do anything and everything that you need us to do related to your oral health,” Dr. Goggins explains in an interview. Equipped with highly trained and experienced staff, an in-house lab, and a broad spectrum of treatment options, Denver Restorative Dentistry wants to make your vision for your smile come to life. The goal is to restore, correct, and perfect patients’ smiles, so they can go on to welcome new friends, opportunities, and experiences with long-lasting, natural-looking, beautiful smiles.

To make these treatments most comfortable and easy for you to receive, we provide sedation dentistry if you have dental anxiety or nervousness about having dental treatment. Our team is adept at using these sedative medications to help you relax during your time in the chair so we can do the work your smile needs while helping you feel most relaxed and comfortable. You can choose from a few different sedation options, depending on your unique needs:

-Laughing Gas (also called nitrous oxide, or N2O): This is a light but effective form of sedation where sedative gas is mixed with oxygen which you inhale through a mask to relax you during your treatment. The nitrous oxide gas effects wear off as soon as the flow of gas is stopped, and you can drive yourself home normally.

-Oral sedation: This form of sedation allows you to take medication orally before you come in for your scheduled treatment so that when you come in, you will feel calm and relaxed and ready to be treated.

-IV sedation: This sedation delivery method allows us to sedate you intravenously (delivered through the veins instead of breathing in or swallowing the medication).  This is a quick form of sedation and is controlled while you are in the chair. While you are fully awake, you may fall asleep while you are being treated and not remember all of your time here.

We are pleased to be able to offer you the sedation treatment you need to allow you to get the dental care you deserve. Patients who have a sensitive gag reflex also find that sedation can help them relax enough to treat any condition necessary with ease. If you would like to find out more about our sedation dentistry options, please don’t hesitate to call us today at 303-586-1019!

One of our specialties is cosmetic dentistry. We know how to correct the flaws in your smile, whether it’s cracked or chipped teeth, unsightly gaps between teeth, stained teeth, misaligned or worn down teeth to improve your smile without sacrificing your tooth and gum health. Our cosmetic dentistry solutions include dental veneers, dental bonding, and teeth whitening – all designed to give you the polished, flawless smile you deserve!

Dental Veneers

These thin porcelain or resin shells are applied to the front of your teeth to correct teeth that are misshapen, chipped or discolored, whether for one or all of your teeth. Dental veneers beautifully close the gaps in your teeth, brighten them, straighten uneven, twisted or curved teeth, as well as fix minor damage teeth.

Dental Bonding

By placing a tooth-colored composite resin material onto a flawed tooth, our experienced prosthodontists can shape and sculpt it to overcome flaws so it looks good again. Once hardened, it is polished and shaped to fit perfectly on the tooth. Bonding is good for closing gaps between teeth, correcting a tooth’s shape, lightening unsightly tooth stains, and restoring teeth damaged by chips or cracks. When finished, your bonded teeth will blend in perfectly with your surrounding teeth!

Teeth Whitening

This treatment expertly whitens and brightens stained or discolored teeth, whether from lax dental hygiene care, aging, consuming staining foods and beverages, tobacco use of any kind, sickness, fluorosis or staining medications. Our prosthodontists will look at your goals to come up with a teeth whitening treatment that works for you and how you want your teeth to appear when it comes to brightness and aesthetic appeal.

Our prosthodontists are skilled cosmetic dental experts and are pleased to customize a smile you have always dreamed of. At Denver Restorative Dentistry in Denver, CO, Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre and Dr. Anna Pitz are excited to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful self-confident smile!
