OUR SERVICES

How We Help

Dental Implants

For patients missing one or more teeth, implants are a natural-looking, long-lasting, and durable replacement option. The procedure involves surgically placing an implant post made from titanium into your jawbone. It will serve as a lifelong prosthetic tooth root. Once the post has healed and fused properly to the jawbone, a customized crown, bridge, or denture will be placed on top of the implant post(s).

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns are designed to repair severely damaged or missing teeth. Crowns can also permanently secure a traditional or implant-supported bridge. We work with a professional lab where technicians will create your custom-made crown or crown and bridge system.

Teeth Whitening

We offer two different teeth whitening options using KöR take-home trays: nighttime whitening and daytime whitening. Each option provides great results. Ask about the differences between these systems at your appointment.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are custom-made from porcelain at our dental laboratory, to restore a tooth with severe decay or a large, failed filling. Compared to dental crowns, inlays and onlays are more structurally conservative, and they come with a smaller cost.

Laser Gum Contouring

If your front teeth appear short and stubby, you may have excess gum tissue or an uneven gum line. We use a diode laser to contour periodontal tissue and create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

What Our Patients Are Saying

Polly T.
I was experiencing tooth sensitivity and it turned out I had worn down my enamel fairly aggressively so for this reason, along with the added benefits of cosmetic improvements, we decided to proceed with veneers. Dr. Teel was so responsive, extremely comprehensive in all aspects of the process and really sought out and then implemented my wishes for my final smile. I could not be happier with the artistry, science and medicine he brought to this whole process!
Brian H.
As a dental professional myself, I chose Family Dentistry and Aesthetics to do my new veneers and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Teel and his team are very experienced in cosmetic dentistry and the quality of their work is outstanding. They scrutinize the small details at every step of the process which allows for a predictable and natural looking result that will be well above your expectations. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for cosmetic work or even a new dental home to see Dr. Teel, Dr. Gilbert and Dr. Zolnik at Family Dentistry and Aesthetics!
