Most of the time, patients in the 23188 area will use a combination of procedures in order to achieve the results they have in mind.


What procedures are used in a typical smile makeover?

There are many cosmetic dentistry procedures that we can use including teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns, and dental implants, among others.

Teeth Whitening
Yellow and stained teeth are a sign of age since teeth are whiter the younger you are. By eating foods that are artificially colored, drinking coffee, tea, wine and smoking – teeth can become yellow and severely stained. This will negatively impact your appearance and can even make you look unhealthy. As a result, patients throughout Williamsburg VA have their teeth whitened to remove the stains.

There are several ways to whiten your teeth. An in-office whitening procedure can whiten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single office visit and do so without causing any discomfort. For those that would prefer to whiten their teeth on their own schedule, an at-home treatment may be better. In this scenario, an impression is taken of your teeth and a customized teeth whitening tray is created in a dental lab. It is made to fit perfectly so that the whitening solution stays in place, and your teeth feel comfortable. Dr. Owens will provide you with a whitening solution that can be used at home so that you can improve the appearance of your teeth regardless of where you are or how busy your schedule is. To learn more, call 757-229-6414 and schedule a consultation.

Dental Veneers
Patients living in Virginia with teeth that are severely stained or damaged, can have dental veneers placed in order to improve their smile. Dr. Owens is an expert veneers dentist and creates natural looking dental veneers that can transform ordinary smiles into something truly stunning. In fact, many Hollywood stars have used veneers to improve their smile as most people have an imperfection or two. When you schedule an appointment with our Williamsburg dentist office, we will examine your teeth to determine if veneers are the best option for achieving the goals you have for your smile. They can be used to close gaps in between teeth, make teeth even in length, cover dark stains, and restore teeth that have been cracked or chipped. Some crooked teeth can even appear straighter using veneers.


WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA SMILE MAKEOVER

When completing a smile makeover, some patients use dental veneers to make their teeth appear larger. Some adults, for example, have teeth that appear too small for their smile and their frame. When this is the case, veneers can be used to elongate the teeth and make them appear more natural. Patients throughout the 23188 area enjoy the results that they receive by using veneers.

Dental Crowns
When teeth are more severely damaged or broken, a dental crown is often a better solution for transforming its appearance and functionality. A crown can be made in an all-ceramic or all-porcelain material that surrounds the tooth entirely. This improves the appearance of the tooth and strengthens it since when a crown is used, nothing touches the natural tooth. In the past, many people living in Virginia had dental crowns placed that were made out of metal. These are functional but are unattractive and make it difficult, if not impossible, for a smile to look natural and healthy. Replacing metal crowns with ceramic ones makes it possible to have the restoration that you need without anyone knowing your tooth had ever been damaged. Dr. Owens treats patients throughout Williamsburg VA that want their smile makeover to include getting rid of outdated metal crowns.

Dental crowns can accomplish similar goals to veneers. They can make teeth even, close gaps, cover stains, and restore cracked or chipped teeth. The major difference is that the crown surrounds the entire tooth, so there is additional stability that comes with this procedure.

Dental Implants
Our patients trust Dr. Owens and our staff at Edward A. Owens DMD to replace their missing teeth in a way that looks completely natural. Dental implants are an excellent way to restore missing teeth because once the procedure is completed; you can enjoy all of your favorite activities and foods without worrying about the tooth falling out or becoming loose. This is important because, with other procedures like dentures, teeth can get loose while running around or eating lunch with friends. Dental implants are so durable that you won’t be able to tell the difference between the implant and natural teeth.

In this procedure, a metal post is implanted under the gums and secured to the jawbone. Over several months, the bone and metal will fuse together in order to create a synthetic root system that is just as strong as a natural root system. Once healed, a new tooth is secured to the metal post for a natural and beautiful looking smile. This procedure is commonly used in smile makeovers because it allows Dr. Owens to replace any teeth that are missing.

Some people in Williamsburg also use dental implants to straighten teeth that are crooked or not responding to orthodontics. This is an important part of a smile makeover because if all of your teeth are white and beautiful, but one is severely crooked, your new smile will feel incomplete.

Testimonials

My entire family and I have been patients of Dr. Owens for 10 years now. We drive all the way from Newport News to come to his office in Williambsburg and it is well worth the drive. Personally, I have the utmost confidence that the dental care that we are receiving is both excellent and state-of-the-art. Dr. Owens possesses a great chair-side manner and he is always very thorough in his examinations and is easy to understand when he gives an explanation of dental care options when something needs additional attention. Dr. Owens has given me a million-dollar smile by removing all of the old silver fillings that I had and replacing them with new white ones to match my teeth. He has also replaced a crown that was inserted by a different dentist years ago and now it fits and looks much better. In addition, Dr. Owens' office staff is always very professional and friendly. As a patient of Dr. Owens, I can sincerely say that going to the dentist is something that I truly look forward to!

Dr. Owens and his team are a special group of people. Their patient care and customer service is unmatched in any of my past experience. Six years ago, I had to make some major decisions about the direction of my dental care. Dr. Owens was knowledgeable, professional and practical in his solutions for me. His staff was flexible, caring and attentive from chair-side through final billing. The end result is the smile that I have always hoped for and confidence that I am at the right practice for all of my family's dental care. I am a patient for life!

As a patient of Dr. Owens for the past four years I have not only been very happy with the improvements in my teeth but also with the outstanding service provided by Dr. Owens, Tammy and the staff. I made the decision to replace older silver fillings with white ones to brighten my smile and strengthen my teeth for the long term. Dr. Owens and his staff were prompt with every appointment and the procedures were literally quick and painless especially due to the fact that all of the work was done at my chair side and not outsourced to another facility requiring another visit. In addition, I always knew exactly how much out of pocket money was due prior to my appointment and never had any surprise fees after the appointment. They worked with me to get the maximum payment from my insurance company and the lowest out of pocket cost for me even if it meant a waiting period for certain benefits to become available. I highly recommend Dr. Owens and his staff for all dentistry and especially f ...

Dr Owens and his ENTIRE staff is awesome! I have not seen a dentist in many years and was extremely nervous and apprehensive about my visit. From the initial check in to being greeted and x-rayed to the actual exam his staff made me feel at ease and informed me of what was going to happen all the way through! I'm so grateful for them all that I' truly looking forward to my next appointment. I highly recommend you visit if you are in need of any dental services!
