Experience your smile... made beautiful

Your smile is your trademark.

When others picture your face, you want them to picture health and confidence — you want them to picture the real you.

But, what if your smile is lacking something? What if you are reluctant to smile because of injury, stains, or misaligned teeth? How can you look the way you want to look — youthful, happy, and secure?

Dr. Hamlett, an artist in cosmetic dentistry, can give you the look that you want to project to the world. Imagine yourself with a bright, attractive smile, and realize that, with cosmetic dentistry, such a smile can be yours. Your solution may include veneers, porcelain crowns, tooth whitening, or any of several treatments designed to give you straight teeth and an outstanding smile. Let Dr. Hamlett create the perfect smile for you with a customized treatment plan based on your age and your unique goals.

Porcelain Veneers

A porcelain veneer is a small, thin piece of porcelain that is adhered to the front of your teeth, giving you a beautiful, bright smile. Veneers can be used to correct gaps and spaces in between your teeth, or to give your teeth a more aesthetic shape and color.

In Dr. Hamlett's skilled hands, veneers can transform worn, misshapen, broken, and discolored teeth into the most naturally beautiful smiles possible. Ask Dr. Hamlett if porcelain veneers in Dallas are right for you.

Tooth Whitening

Imagine removing surface stains and having the white smile you had when you were a teenager! Anyone can have the confidence that comes from having a bright, white smile, and Dr. Hamlett offers two convenient whitening options:

IN-OFFICE

The Zoom!™ tooth whitening system is a powerful, in-office procedure that produces fast, dramatic results. Dr. Hamlett will 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 about an hour. During that time, a specialized light source interacts with the gel to break-up even the strongest stains and discolorations. By the end of your appointment, you will have a smile that looks like it did years ago!

AT-HOME

There is also a take-home whitening kit available. This do-it-yourself process can be completed in a weekend, and while the results are not as dramatic as the in-office procedure, you will still see noticeable, fantastic results. Talk with Dr. Hamlett for help in deciding which tooth whitening in Dallas procedure is right for you.

Porcelain Bridges

When you have a gap in your smile due to a missing tooth, a porcelain bridge is one solution that can give you back your flawless smile. Porcelain bridges literally "bridge the gap" in your smile.

A porcelain bridge utilizes the teeth on both sides of the gap as its supportive structure. Dr. Hamlett will prepare porcelain crowns for the teeth on each side of the gap. Then, a lifelike, prosthetic tooth will be positioned between those crowns and held in place on your gum line. The bridge looks natural and can prevent future problems with the look and function of your teeth.

Sometimes gum disease, injury, decay, or simply wear results in the loss of a tooth. A large gap in your smile can create significant problems for your dental health if it isn't corrected. Over time your bite pressure may shift to other parts of your mouth to compensate for an inability to chew efficiently in the area of the missing tooth. Neighboring teeth may begin to shift and move into the gap, resulting in discomfort, pain, and more problems down the road.

Don't let a gap in your teeth ruin your smile and cause discomfort. Ask Dr. Hamlett which solution is right for you.

Porcelain Crowns

Are you self-conscious about your smile due to cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth? Porcelain crowns bring back your healthy, natural-looking smile.

Porcelain crowns were once commonly referred to as "caps." After some preparation to the underlying tooth, a porcelain crown is positioned over the tooth and secured. Crowns allow you to retain your natural underlying structure, while giving you a complete, fully-functional smile. Porcelain crowns look completely natural and can correct bite problems, spaces between teeth, and the angulations of teeth. They can also be used to permanently replace missing teeth as part of a bridge or over an implant.

And, with CEREC technology, your crowns could be completed in a single visit. Ask Dr. Hamlett about how crowns can cosmetically enhance your smile.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings are superior, both in appearance and durability, to traditional fillings made of a silver-mercury alloy. Silver-mercury fillings are wedged into place and can leak or come loose over time. Silver-mercury fillings also break-up the look of your smile and make you look aged.

Tooth-colored fillings offer a non-invasive way to improve your smile without using silver-mercury. Tooth-colored fillings are bonded to the tooth, forming a protective seal, and require less removal of healthy tooth structure to secure in place. You deserve only the best, which is why Dr. Hamlett offers tooth-colored restorations. If you have any concerns about the appearance of your teeth, or about replacing your old silver fillings, give us a call for an evaluation to see if tooth-colored fillings will give you the smile you've always wanted.

Bonding

Are you embarrassed about your smile because of decayed, disfigured or discolored teeth? You may be a good candidate for bonding. Bonding refers to the placement of tooth-colored resin to correct chipped and broken teeth, discolored teeth and in some cases, space between teeth. The material comes in a wide range of shades and can be molded and sculpted to create almost any shape or contour. Bonding is generally considered more conservative than veneers or other cosmetic dentistry. The benefits of bonding include the ability to maintain the natural structure of the tooth and the ability to color and sculpt the resin to create natural looking teeth.

Gum Contouring

Do you see a lot of your gum tissue when you smile? Many people with "gummy" smiles do not know that there are treatments available to cosmetically enhance the look of your gums. Dr. Hamlett can re-contour the appearance of your gum tissue. Using specialized lasers that minimize discomfort and healing time, Dr. Hamlett can redesign the appearance of your gums. With the addition of beautiful porcelain veneers, your gummy smile disappears, revealing a bright, youthful smile that looks natural and proportioned. The entire process takes just a few visits.

Invisalign®

You can straighten your teeth without metal braces. Invisalign® is an FDA-approved system that uses clear, removable aligners to incrementally straighten your teeth. There are no uncomfortable brackets or wires, and because you remove the aligners to eat and drink, there are no food restrictions or problems with brushing or flossing.

Invisalign® uses 3D computer imaging to map out your entire treatment plan in advance, allowing you to see what your teeth will look like before you begin treatment. Then, using the imaging, a series of custom aligners are created that will move teeth incrementally. You will replace each aligner every two weeks with the next aligner in the sequence. Average treatment time from initial teeth position to brilliant, straight smile ranges from 9 to 15 months. The best part is, most people will never notice that you are undergoing treatment!
