Cosmetic Dentistry
Do you want to improve your smile? With the help of Dr. Allen and staff you can have a smile that you can afford and be proud of. At Allen family dental we offer several cosmetic dentistry options including teeth whitening and veneers.
Teeth Whitening
As a person ages, mineral exposure causes the teeth to gradually darken. Over time, some food, drink, or tobacco products also create unattractive yellowish-brown stains. Less commonly, you may experience discoloration due to some medications or bacterial infections.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a new alternative in tooth replacement. They are a great way to replace missing teeth and provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures.
Dentures
Dentures are removable oral appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. If you are missing several teeth or all your teeth, dentures might be just what you need to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile. There are two types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.
