Porcelain Veneers & Lumineers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance. Dental veneers can provide an instant smile makeover and repair chipped, stained, and misshapen teeth. Dr. Flax is highly skilled in placing veneers that look and feel like natural teeth, giving you flawless teeth you’ll love. To learn about this versatile cosmetic dental treatment, see Porcelain veneers.
Invisalign®
Are you self-conscious about crooked teeth but don’t want to wear traditional braces? Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. These virtually invisible aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss.
At Flax Dental, we’re proud to offer Invisalign as a discreet and convenient solution for achieving straighter teeth. To learn how our clear aligners can straighten your teeth, see Invisalign.
Smile Makeovers
If you’re looking for a complete transformation, our smile makeovers are the perfect option. A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan combining multiple cosmetic procedures to address all your cosmetic concerns.
Our experienced cosmetic dentist will carefully evaluate your oral health and goals to create a custom treatment plan. From teeth whitening to veneers and orthodontics, we will work together to give you the teeth you’ve always wanted. To learn more about complete makeovers, see Smile makeovers.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that improves the appearance of teeth. The dentist applies a tooth-colored composite resin compound and sculpts it to create a more aesthetically pleasing tooth. Dental bonding can repair chipped or cracked teeth, close gaps between teeth, and even change the shape or color of a tooth.
The procedure is relatively quick and painless, usually requiring only one visit to our Sandy Springs dental office. Dental bonding is popular because it’s a cost-effective and minimally-invasive way to repair imperfections. To learn about how we can fix simple cosmetic issues, see Dental bonding.
Gum Contouring
Gum contouring, or gum reshaping or gum lifting, is a dental procedure that reshapes and sculpts your gum line. It involves removing or reshaping excess gum tissue to create a more balanced and symmetrical mouth. The treatment will make your teeth look longer or more even.
Gum contouring corrects an uneven gum line and can help address excessive gingival display, or a “gummy smile”. A gummy smile is where a large portion of the gums is visible when smiling. During the procedure, the dentist will use a special tool to carefully remove excess gum tissue and reshape your gums.
Benefits of Gum Contouring
Gum contouring offers many benefits, including:
- Subtly reshapes the gumline
- Reduces excessive gingival display
- Eliminates uneven contours for symmetry
- Reveals more of the natural tooth structure
- Enhances and balances your smile
- Shortens teeth that appear too long
- Minimally invasive and non-surgical
- Little to no discomfort
- Fast recovery time
- More conservative and affordable than porcelain veneers or dental crowns
With only moderate changes to your gum line, gum contouring can make a difference. This treatment is easier and more subtle than major restorations.
Nightlase, Smoothlase & Liplase
Smoothlase, Nightlase, and Liplase are non-surgical laser treatments that offer various cosmetic and therapeutic benefits.
- SmoothLase is a laser treatment that targets and stimulates collagen production in the skin. The treatment helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and tighten loose or sagging skin. To learn more, see SmoothLase.
- NightLase is a laser treatment for snoring and sleep apnea. Gentle laser energy tightens the tissues in the throat, reducing the frequency and intensity of snoring and improving sleep quality. To learn more, see NightLase.
- LipLase is a laser treatment for enhancing the appearance of lips. It helps stimulate collagen production, resulting in fuller and more defined lips. To learn more, see LipLase.
These minimally invasive laser treatments offer patients a convenient and effective option for achieving their desired outcomes.
