Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry can be transformative to your smile and confidence. Dr. LoBue performs a host of dental procedures to restore your smile.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth will naturally lose their whiteness over time. Drinking substances like coffee and tea, using tobacco, and certain childhood medications can cause teeth to discolor. Teeth whitening can brighten your teeth in two ways: in office treatments such as Zoom, or kits designed for at home use.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are used to recreate the natural appearance of teeth. A thin layer of porcelain is adhered to the patient’s existing teeth to enhance and improve their contours.

Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is the process of filling or restoring teeth using a composite material that matches the patient’s existing tooth color. It can also be added to adjust and enhance the size shape, and color of an existing tooth.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are procedures that can restore the full contours of a patient’s teeth.

Crowns: Dental crowns are caps placed on top of damaged teeth. Crowns are used to protect, cover and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don’t solve the problem.

Bridges: A bridge can restore the look and function of a patient’s bite when there are one or more missing teeth. Two crowns are placed on either side of the space in order to hold a fabricated tooth in place.

General Dentistry

Dr. LoBue offer a host of general dentistry procedures, including fillings, root canals, and hygiene treatments.

Fillings

Dr. LoBue offers composite, tooth colored fillings, which are mercury free.

Root Canals

Root canal procedures are performed when the nerve and blood supply of the tooth are infected. The infected nerve is removed, the canal is disinfected and filled with an inert material to prevent reinfection. The tooth is then restored with a post and a crown and patients are left pain free.

Hygiene

A trained hygienist performs preventative oral care by cleaning patients' teeth and examining their mouths for signs of damage, gingivitis, or other diseases. Treatments generally take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete. Patients are also taught how to maintain good oral health, and are provided with oral care kits upon the conclusion of the procedure. Once treatments are completed, Dr. LoBue. conducts a thorough examination and review of any X-Rays.
