Its undeniable; the flash of a big beautiful smile or a shy little smirk can speak volumes without you ever saying a word. It can attract attention from across a room. It can stop a disagreement in its tracks. It can convey your deepest emotions without a single word spoken. A smile is an indicator of happiness, success, and self-worth. Is your smile sending the message you want it to?

A smile is one of the first things we notice about others, and it can speak volumes about you without you ever saying a word. If you are not entirely happy with the appearance of your smile, chances are you are not sending the message you would like to. A simple fix or a full smile makeover will ensure your smile will be remembered for all the right reasons.

A beautiful new smile will drastically improve your overall appearance and take years off your look. You will gain a newfound sense of confidence that others will notice in the way that you carry yourself and show off your beautiful new smile.

Do you find yourself feeling envious of others who somehow have the most perfectly straight and bright white smiles? Were here to let you in on a little secretthey probably werent born with it. With modern techniques and technologies, your dream smile is within reach.

Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic treatment to correct any number of minor imperfections in the appearance of your smile. Veneers can correct teeth that are slightly crooked, misaligned, gapped, chipped, broken, misshapen, oddly sized, yellow or discolored.

The difference you will see in a professional whitening treatment is a more dramatic result. While toothpaste and white strips can whiten teeth by a few shades, a professional whitening treatment is the only way to penetrate the teeth deep enough to remove intrinsic stains.

If you show more pink than white when you smile, youre not alone, and we can help! Gummy smiles happen when the gums cover too much of your teeth. So, its not that your teeth are short, but rather that your gums are trying to steal the show. Thankfully, we can correct this with laser gum contouring.

Laser gum contouring is just like it soundsusing a dental laser to precisely and carefully reduce the gum tissue along the gum line, creating a more natural and beautiful grin. A gummy smile can really put a damper on your confidence, so if its time for your teeth to take center stage, let us know!

If you have any minor grievances with the appearance of your teeth, cosmetic bonding is a simple solution. A durable, natural-looking tooth-colored resin is used to enhance the appearance of your natural teeth. Cosmetic bonding can correct teeth that are gapped, misshapen, or discolored.

Bonding is a fast and easy way to refresh your smile and rejuvenate your overall appearance to get back that youthful glow. Bonding is a simple, non-invasive treatment that involves a tooth-colored resin to hide stains, fill gaps, build out chips, and correct any minor cosmetic issues without major treatments.

Its no secret, our patients are keen on protecting their assetsthats why they come to Fuquay Family Dentistry.

Dental implants are titanium tooth root replacements that are surgically implanted into the gums and allowed to fuse with the jawbone. Dental implants function as anchors for restorations and appliancescrowns, bridges, and dentures. Dental implants are the most recommended tooth replacement solution on the market today, by patients and dentists alike.

Not only do dental implants offer unmatched stability for replacement teeththey actually function just like a natural tooth root and help preserve the health of surrounding teeth, your bite, and your jawbone. Implants actually stimulate new bone and tissue growth around the implant for a healthy foundation and facial shape.

Dental implants offer unmatched stability for tooth replacements and dental appliances. This stability ensures you will be able to enjoy your favorite foods and speak and laugh with confidence that your smile is secureno messy adhesives or removal for cleaning required.

When missing teeth remain absent, it can have serious consequences for your oral health and quality of life. Teeth on either side of the gap will begin to shift, rotate, or become loose, which can compromise your bite. Without the support of the tooth root, the underlying jawbone will begin to deteriorate, which is what causes the sunken face appearance. Dental implants keep the health of your mouth and jawbone intact, and your oral health system functioning properly.

We see the difference in the lives of our patients who decide to replace missing teeth with implants. Implants are the most natural-looking tooth replacement solution available. Patients confidence, happiness, and self-esteem go through the roof after implant therapy.
