Sometimes wearing metal braces doesn’t fit into your plan, but you no longer have to go through this process to straighten your teeth. Invisalign is a tried and true teeth straightening system that uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth in increments. Uncomfortable wires and brackets are a thing of the past. With Invisalign, you can remove the aligners to eat and drink or if you have an important meeting to attend.

Invisalign uses a 3D imaging system to map out your treatment so you can see what your teeth could look like when your treatment is completed. We use this imaging system to create a series of custom aligners that are replaced every two weeks. The entire treatment typically takes nine to fifteen months.  Most people won't even realize you are undergoing treatment.

Rejuvenate your smile to a straighter, whiter, more beautiful version. Most of the smile makeovers you see on television or in magazines are the result of porcelain veneers. Make a dramatic difference in your appearance by fixing chipped teeth, crooked teeth, spaces between your teeth or stained teeth. A custom made, thin layer of porcelain is bonded to the front of your existing teeth to create a natural, beautiful smile.  Change the shape, size and color of your teeth in just two visits!

Successfully remove surface stains and regain the white smile you had when you were a teenager! You’ll love the confidence that comes from having a bright, white smile. Tooth whitening is safe, effective and long lasting and produces fast, dramatic results.

You apply a specialized gel to your teeth using a customized tray similar to a mouthpiece. The customized tray is comfortable, allowing you to hold it in place for approximately 30 minutes to an hour.

This do-it-yourself process can be completed over several weeks and you will see fantastic results. Talk with Dr. Norman for help in deciding what whitening procedure is right for you.

Repair missing teeth without anyone knowing your originals are gone!  Sometimes gum disease, injury, decay or simply wear results in the loss of teeth. Missing teeth cause you to chew differently, may cause mouth pain and, as your remaining teeth work to compensate for the loss, gaps and spaces form that only make the situation worse. A porcelain bridge keeps your smile aligned and your bite functional. Your bridge securely fits to existing teeth or crowns on either side of the missing tooth. Because the restoration looks like real teeth in shape and in color, no one will ever know you have one. 

Your teeth undergo a tremendous amount of stress during your lifetime. Teeth show this wear in a variety of ways, including discoloration, chipping and cracking.  Erase the wear and tear caused over time and reclaim your beautiful, flawless smile with porcelain crowns!  Sometimes called “caps,” porcelain crowns cover your damaged teeth and are a durable, long lasting method of enhancing both the look and functionality of your smile. They can be shaded to beautifully match your existing teeth.  After some preparation of the tooth that will receive the crown, Dr. Norman positions a custom sculpted, natural looking porcelain crown over your damaged tooth.   Your smile’s beauty and oral health are instantly restored and revitalized!

Looking to correct chipped teeth, broken teeth, discolored teeth or even gaps between your teeth?  Bonding may be the perfect solution for your needs. Bonding involves a tooth-colored material applied and adhered to the surface of the tooth, without reducing the integrity and structure of the tooth. Dr. Norman custom sculpts the material to create your new, natural-looking tooth.  Bonding is a more conservative procedure than veneers but doesn’t last as long and is vulnerable to stains like a natural tooth.

Are you embarrassed showing the world excess visible gum tissue every time you smile?  If you are one of the numerous people suffering from a “gummy smile”, you may not be aware of the treatments available to cosmetically enhance the look of your gums.
