Cosmetic Dentist in Powell Improves Looks and Self-image

How and how often you smile affects your health, self-image and interpersonal relationships, says the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. This well-respected group of dental care providers focuses on the aesthetics of teeth and gums so patients look good and feel good. Cosmetic dentists in Powell, Drs. Ryan Eskridge and Norman Straker, offer a wide array of dental treatments and restorative services that also produce a dramatic aesthetic effect. Could you benefit from their services?

Desired Smile Changes

If you could change something about the appearance of your smile, what would it be? Would it be:

• Uneven tooth length?
• Excess gum tissue?
• Crookedness?
• Tooth color?
• Chips, cracks and gaps?
• Congenital malformation of a tooth or teeth?

For many people, just one or a few simple changes really improve their look and self-image. As a result, they smile more confidently and are better perceived in social and professional situations. Others desire a complete smile makeover, including some dental work which combines the best of restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

The Consultation

Dr. Eskridge or Dr. Straker does a complete oral examination with digital X-rays before recommending any cosmetic dentistry procedures. If all is well, he will formulate a treatment plan which incorporates the patient’s realistic ideas for his or her new smile.

Procedures may be carried out singly or combined according to patient budget and preference. Some treatments, such as teeth whitening, take just one visit.
