Cosmetic Dentistry is for patients wanting to make a positive change to their smiles while maintaining or improving their oral health, oral function, and appearance of their smile. With modern dental techniques, materials, and a specially trained, skilled dentist, Cosmetic Dentistry not only addresses the aesthetics of a patient’s front teeth but also the function of their back teeth and a patient’s overall oral health. Cosmetic Dentistry relies on the skill of the dentist providing the services which is why it is important to choose a dentist who has had extensive training and education beyond dental school. Dr. Starr (link to bio) is a Surgical and Restorative Dental Implant Specialist, with the skills needed to provide his patients not only with the smile of their dreams but can also address any oral dysfunction.
Cosmetic Dentistry is for patients suffering from:
