Here are just a few of the cosmetic dentistry procedures and technologies we offer that are designed to beautify your smile:

CEREC 3D
Restoring damaged teeth with crowns, veneers, and onlays used to require multiple appointments, but not at our office! We make use of an impressive technology known as CEREC 3D to allow your cosmetic dental work to be completed in just one appointment. First, digital impressions are made of your teeth using a specialized, high precision camera. The CEREC 3D machine then uses the digital image to design a custom restoration for you, matching the color precisely with the shade of your natural teeth. The machine then mills the restoration right there while you wait. Dr. Copenhaver and Trout bonds the new restoration to your tooth, and your dental work is completed—often in under an hour!

Smile Design & Makeover
Let us design a custom-made smile to suit your unique facial features and bring out the most beautiful you possible. Dr. Copenhaver and Trout will first evaluate your mouth’s overall structural and aesthetic needs. Then, using a wide variety of techniques, such as porcelain veneers and crowns to reshape teeth or TMJ correction to resolve bite issues, he will create a stronger and more aesthetically balanced smile. And with our state-of-the-art CEREC 3D machine, the custom designed restorations for your new smile can be measured, milled, and fitted within one easy visit. Then, for the finishing touch, Dr. Copenhaver and Trout polishes off your new look with teeth whitening for a stunning effect.

Crowns
Also called caps, crowns are natural-looking covers that fit snugly over teeth to conceal cracked, badly discolored, injured, or chipped teeth. Crowns provide support to damaged teeth while also restoring functionality and esthetic balance. Ultimately, crowns can dramatically improve the overall appearance of your smile while making your teeth more resistant to injury. And with our advanced, in-office CEREC 3D machine, we can mill your new crowns while you wait, often in as little as an hour.

Veneers
An excellent alternative to crowns, veneers can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment, and creating uniformity. Veneers, which are made of thin, customized material designed to slide over the teeth, look incredibly natural, are long-lasting, and are relatively easy to apply. Your new veneers can be designed and bonded in as little as little as an hour with our in-house CEREC 3D technology.

Inlays & Onlays
Similar to fillings, inlays and onlays fill cavities and other areas of trauma or decay in the teeth. Inlays fit into a cavity while onlays lay on top of the tooth to build up a damaged cusp. They are also called indirect fillings. Unlike regular fillings, which are composed of a soft material that is molded into the tooth, indirect porcelain fillings are generally shaped in a dental lab and then firmly cemented into place at a later visit. At our practice, however, we are able to use our advanced CEREC 3 technology to mill porcelain inlays and onlays while you wait and place them in your mouth the same visit!

BriteSmile
BriteSmile is a fast, easy, in-office teeth whitening procedure that takes just one hour to complete. A hydrogen-peroxide gel is carefully applied to teeth and then activated by a patented, blue spectrum light. BriteSmile is neat and comfortable, and results are immediate. It will not harm your teeth, gums, or dental work. For more information about BriteSmile, please contact us today.

Tooth Colored Restorations
Gone are the days when tooth ailments and cavities could only be treated with unsightly metal fillings. Today, modern, tooth-colored fillings made of durable resin or porcelain can be bonded to your teeth for a stronger, more natural-looking effect. These revolutionary fillings are virtually undetectable and are easy to apply. To find out if tooth-colored fillings are a good option for you, please contact us today.

Mercury Free / Metal Free Dentistry
As part of our commitment to the highest standards of patient safety and quality care, Smile Innovation offers mercury and metal free dentistry. Mercury amalgam – composed of 50 percent mercury and 50 percent silver, tin, or copper alloy – releases mercury vapor and also can cause cracks or fractures in your teeth over time that can be harmful to patients. Our practice uses porcelain or durable resin filling and restoration materials and is committed to the safe removal and disposal of patients’ current dental amalgam fillings. Metal free dentistry is not only safer, it is also durable, long-lasting, and aesthetically much more pleasing.

Reconstructive Dentistry
Our practice is proud to offer comprehensive reconstructive dentistry with a focus on beautiful, natural-looking results. Reconstructive dentistry seeks to repair or replace damaged teeth in order to return your mouth to full functionality and aesthetic balance. This work can range from simple fillings, crowns, and veneers to more complex root canal therapy and periodontal treatment. Emergency problems are always cared for first. Then we plan for any corrective treatment you will need. A thorough examination, medical history, and X-rays are essential to a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. We will also show you how to effectively clean your mouth and prevent disease. Only then will be begin a mutually acceptable restoration program. Our goal is to restore your teeth so that you will have the least chance of ever needing to repair them again.

Full Mouth Restoration
Sometimes, patients come in needing a significant amount of dental work. There can be a number of reasons for this. In some cases, badly neglected teeth need substantial restorative work to return them to full functionality. In others, regular dental work has been performed over the years, but in piecemeal fashion with various dentists. These “one-off” fixes may not function well as a unit or may have begun to deteriorate at different rates. Other causes can include periodontal problems, the need to remove mercury amalgam fillings, or crowded, badly aligned, or aging teeth that are contributing to bite alignment problems or teeth and jaw wear. Thanks to advances in restorative materials, Smile Innovations can offer superior, natural looking restorations that are almost impossible to distinguish from your own teeth. Contact us today to find out what a full mouth restoration could do for your smile.

Dental Implants
Dr. Copenhaver and Trout perform dental implant restorations by attaching artificial teeth to implants anchored in the bone below the gum line. After the anchor has been surgically placed in the jawbone, excess bone and gum grow around the implant, holding it firmly in place. An artificial tooth can then be attached to the implant. The end result is a strong, secure tooth that is virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Root Canals
Each of our teeth contain a long, thin strand of dental pulp—which provides the tooth with nutrients and nerves—that extends down to the tooth’s root. If the pulp becomes infected or injured, the tooth’s nerves die and often, without endodontic treatment, the tooth dies as well. Root canals are designed to save such damaged teeth. During the procedure (performed under anesthesia), a gap is drilled into the tooth’s crown and pulp chamber, diseased pulp is reshaped or removed, and the tooth is permanently sealed with a gold, porcelain, or tooth-colored crown. To learn more about root canals, please contact our practice today.

Gum (Periodontal) Therapy
Unfortunately, periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more than just an unsightly smile—it can cause loss of teeth and eventually, if left untreated, serious health problems. Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that attack your mouth’s soft tissues. Early warning signs of the disease include red, swollen, bleeding gums. If caught early, we can help you reverse the damage or if detected late, we can use one of many effective reconstructive or cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore your mouth to a healthy, beautiful state.

General & Preventative Care Dentistry
Twice-daily brushings and regular flossing are excellent for maintenance between office visits, but a healthy mouth and beautiful smile require routine general and preventative care to stay that way. Smile Innovation offers general care that includes thorough dental exams and cleanings as well as a full evaluation of a patient’s oral condition. Our preventative care includes fluoride treatment, gum (periodontal) evaluation, and oral cancer screening designed to help you maintain your smile’s health and beauty. Keep your teeth and gums strong and disease-free.
