Dental Bonding

Here at Prairie Hawk Dental in Castle Rock, CO, we provide our patients with multiple options when it comes to improving their smile, including bonding. Ranging from cosmetic to restorative procedures, bonding can be used for many different purposes. It is often the go-to solution for discolored, cracked, or chipped teeth.

Bonding is made from a composite resin material that can be mixed to match the shade of the teeth and molded over the teeth in any shape they desire. This enables our patients to benefit in a number of ways, covering up imperfections and restoring smiles.

Some reasons a patient might choose bonding include:

1. To cover staining or discoloration of their teeth.

2. To repairing chipped, cracked or severely decaying teeth.

3. To fix misaligned teeth or spaces between the teeth.

4. To cover exposed roots from gum recession.

5. To improve the look of uneven teeth due to varying shapes or sizes.

The bonding process is simple and can be done in a single visit. Our dentist, Dr. Aaron Goodman, first mixes the resin material to the shade desired, then molds it over the teeth being treated. It is dried with the help of an ultraviolet light, polished, and complete.

Dental Veneers

If you are not happy with your current smile because your teeth are discolored, misaligned, or misshapen, did you know that you can get veneers right here at Prairie Hawk Dental? Well, you can! Dental veneers are made from thin pieces of ceramic or porcelain that cover your teeth. They can fix anything from decay and discoloration to gaps between the teeth or misshapen teeth.

Veneers are made to match the patient’s other teeth in color and general size and shape, so they don’t stand out. They look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Here in Castle Rock, CO, we provide veneers to any patient that wants to improve their smile without orthodontic treatment or other procedures.

The process of veneers begins when our dentist, Dr. Aaron Goodman, files down the tooth to be corrected, followed by getting impressions. He must make room for the veneer, which is why some filing down is necessary. Once the impressions are sent to the lab, it takes about two weeks before the patient returns to our office. Next, the dentist bonds the veneer to the tooth, and polishes it.

The procedure is then done, and the veneers last for about 10-15 years on average. If you want to improve your smile with veneers, contact us at Prairie Hawk Dental.

Teeth Whitening

Having whiter teeth is on the minds of many of our Castle Rock, CO patients here at Prairie Hawk Dental. Even patients that take very good care of their teeth by brushing twice a day and flossing regularly, can develop staining and discoloration over time. Things like decay, eating foods with sugar, or drinking dark beverages like coffee and red wine, can stain the teeth. Our dental practice understands the desire for whitening the teeth, which is why we offer three different methods of teeth whitening.

The first type of teeth whitening is through semi-custom trays that we provide our patients and have them take them home for whitening their teeth. This is the easiest and most cost-effective way for teeth whitening. These semi-custom trays are of higher quality and get better results than store-bought trays, but are not quite as effective as our fully custom trays. The next option is custom whitening trays, which are made from impressions of the patient’s teeth. We start the whitening procedure in our office, then send them home for our patient to continue using trays over several days.

Lastly, our dentist Dr. Aaron Goodman offers a whitening mouthpiece that whitens the teeth with a bleaching gel in the office. This is done entirely in our office in a single visit.

If you would like to try any of these teeth whitening options, call us at 720-515-1801.

Snap-On Smile

Snap On Smile

For patients that want to improve their smile but not go through years of orthodontic treatment, we provide snap-on smile here at Prairie Hawk Dental. This is a wonderful product that helps provide a full mouth makeover with teeth that literally snap into place.

 

Good candidates for snap-on smile are patients who have severely stained or discolored teeth, missing teeth, cracks or chips in their teeth, or misaligned teeth, and who are not interested in dental implants, veneers, or orthodontic treatment. All of those procedures take time and money, and can remedied with snap-on smile.

 

Patients benefit in many ways when they choose to beautify their smile with snap-on smile from our dentist Dr. Aaron Goodman, including the following:

• No drilling or oral surgery required, as the snap-on smile is created in a lab then snaps right onto the teeth.
• No chemicals are needed for whitening the teeth.
• It lasts about 3-5 years with proper care.
• It is relatively painless, as the only procedure needed is taking impressions of the teeth.
• The entire treatment is done in as little as two visits.

To face the world with a new smile, visit Prairie Hawk Dental in Castle Rock, CO for a snap-on smile.
