Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of the teeth, mouth, and smile. It includes a wide range of procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, reshaping and more. These procedures can be used to correct a variety of issues like chips, stains, gaps between teeth, misshapen teeth, etc. Some patients choose a cosmetic dental procedure for aesthetic reasons while others do so to improve their oral heath or correct functional problems with their teeth or bite. Together, you and your dentist will review your cosmetic dentistry options and decide upon the procedure that is best so you can feel happy, healthy and confident in your smile.

Dental crowns of the past often had metal beneath a porcelain facing. Here at Doyle Family Dentistry we use porcelain and zirconia to best enhance strength and esthetics where you need it most! This helps avoid the dark lines that appear on older crowns and assists in the proper shade matching of the surrounding teeth.
How Long Do Crowns Last? Dental crowns can last 15 years, or longer! This depends mostly on consistent oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and the proper placement during treatment.

A Dental Bridge is all in it’s name – it ‘bridges’ the gap of a missing tooth. While it is important to replace a missing tooth to ensure a normal chewing function, a dental bridge is not the only option to do so.
Crown and Bridge Treatment Coordinating: Dental Crowns and Bridges are typically completed over two appointments. During the first appointment the teeth are prepared and you will leave with a properly fitting temporary crown.
This allows for the best materials to be utilized in the fabrication of your crown or bridge. This is accomplished at a professional Dental Laboratory.
During your second appointment, typically one week later, we will deliver your dental crown or bridge.
Saving cracked or broken teeth: We believe in striving to deliver the most conservative treatment plans possible. This can include saving cracked, broken or fractured teeth. Crowns and Dental Bridges can be utilized for many reasons, and some of them include:
To save a cracked or broken tooth
To protect a tooth weakened by decay or previously placed large fillings
To enhance cosmetics and esthetics
To cover a dental implant
To replace a missing tooth
