Are You Ready For A New Smile?
While she excels in every area of dentistry she practices, cosmetic dentistry is where Dr. Carlson really shines… so that you can have a smile that lights YOU up!
Sometimes patients come to us because they have a missing, broken, or chipped tooth. Their teeth are crooked and impact their desire to smile, or they have trouble eating, or have old dental work that needs some new life! No matter the reason you want to reinvent your smile, Dr. Carlson can walk that journey with you. She has the experience and training to ensure your new smile will complement your features and fit naturally with your face. (Details matter!)
That’s the good news. The GREAT news is that often you can experience a “trial smile.” To ensure that your new smile is exactly what you want, we work with the finest dental labs that utilize modern materials for natural-looking veneers and crowns. We even have ways for you to “try on” your new smile before you commit to any treatment with our Trial Smile!
We offer several ways to reinvigorate your smile.
Clear Aligner Therapy - Tooth Straightening
Want a straighter smile without metal braces? Consider Invisalign or Clarity! These clear aligner systems gradually shift your teeth with a series of removable trays.
Dr. Carlson partners with Invisalign and Clarity by Solventum to create a personalized treatment plan. It’s so easy! You will wear each aligner for 22 hours a day, switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, and watch your smile transform!
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin sheets of layered porcelain, which are affixed to the front of your teeth to whiten, straighten, and correct flaws.
Veneers are highly stain-resistant and translucent so they resemble natural, healthy, white tooth enamel.
Same-Day Composite Veneers
Same-day composite veneers offer a quick and affordable way to enhance your smile in just one visit. Unlike porcelain veneers, they are made from tooth-colored resin applied directly to your teeth, making them a budget-friendly option.
Dr. Carlson will usually remove a thin layer of enamel from your teeth to allow room for veneers, but is often able to complete the direct composite veneering process with minimal reduction or damage to your teeth.
These veneers are especially popular among young professionals looking to boost their confidence as they start their careers. With proper care, composite veneers can provide a natural, polished look for several years.
Zoom! Whitening
Not happy with the color of your smile? Over time, the natural aging process in combination with food, drinks, and tobacco can stain or discolor teeth. Dark beverages like coffee, red wine, and cola, as well as smoking or injury, can all affect tooth color.
Carlson Dental Group offers Zoom! teeth whitening, a fast and effective in-office treatment that can brighten teeth by up to ten shades in about an hour using a powerful whitening gel and activating light.
Metal-Free Crowns and Bridges
Older dental restorations were often made of dark metals that stood out in a smile. Today, we offer crowns and bridges made entirely of tooth colored materials for a natural appearance.
This strong, durable material closely mimics natural enamel, even in the way it reflects light. The result is a seamless restoration that looks and feels just like real teeth!
Direct Bonding
Direct bonding is a quick and effective solution for minor chips, cracks, gaps, and stains, enhancing your smile in under an hour. Dr. Carlson expertly sculpts tooth-colored composite resin to restore the natural look of your tooth.
This simple, affordable treatment seamlessly covers imperfections, making it one of the easiest ways to achieve a flawless smile.
