Most offices focus on general oral health and maybe one or two other disciplines. They can do cleanings, fillings, and maybe a simple Invisalign case but theyll have to refer you to a specialist if you want to get dental implants, braces, or any cosmetic dental work.
Having to set up all your information at a new office is a pain especially if you have numerous family members who all need different work done. Constant referrals mean more paperwork, more long phone calls, and less free time for you and your family.
At Stanley Dentistry, we rarely send patients to other offices because our highly-trained doctors can handle almost anything. From braces and crowns to dental implants and veneers, we have all your dental bases covered! This means our patients dont have to worry about filing their insurance with other offices or giving out their credit cards numerous times. It also means our doctors can easily keep up with your health history from year to year. If anything changes, or if youre ever in pain, well already have all your information ready to go.
Plus, going to the same office for all your dental needs allows our doctors, assistants, and hygienists to build a relationship with you. As a family-owned and operated business, we always want our patients to feel cared for and appreciated. At Stanley Dentistry, we know each and every one of our patients!
If you want a perfect smile, before you consider anything else, you need to consider dental veneers. Here at Stanley Dentistry, we are proud to offer porcelain veneers as part of our cosmetic dentistry branch. Dr. Bobbi has been giving patients the veneers of their dreams for over twenty-five years and is one of the most experienced veneers providers in the area. In just a few easy trips to our office, youll have the white, straight smile youve always wanted.
A lot of people have heard of veneers but not many know what they actually are. Although porcelain veneers are able to completely transform smiles, theyre actually quite small and thin. Unlike dental implants, porcelain veneers are just thin sheets of ceramic that bond directly to the front of the teeth. Your natural teeth remain underneath but the bright white veneers are what the world sees.
When bonded to the teeth, they are near impossible to detect and highly resistant to foods and drinks that stain the teeth. For strength and appearance, their similarity to healthy, white tooth enamel is unrivaled by other restorative options.
You can have your new smile with dental veneers in as little as two visits. During your first visit, we remove a thin layer of the tooth enamel and take a precise mold of your teeth in order to create the veneers. While your custom veneers are being made, youll wear temporary veneers to keep your smile looking great. Then, at your next visit, we apply your final veneers, completing your smile transformation.
Of course, as with anything, they do come with a few cons. Veneers are not as permanent as dental implants nor do they cure any underlying disease. Putting a veneer on a decaying tooth wont remove the decay.
If youre getting traditional veneers (as opposed to no-prep veneers), Dr. Bobbi will have to shave off a very small amount of enamel in order to fit the veneer over the tooth. Dr. Bobbi removes as little as possible but if you ever decide to take the veneers off, that small gap will be noticeable. Its important to keep that in mind when deciding whether to get traditional veneers or no-preps.
If you dont feel like veneers are the right choice for you, there are some other options that can give patients a better smile. For patients with severe decay, dental implants may be better. If finances are an issue, Snap-on-Smiles offer a temporary, removable smile thats perfect for special occasions.
