Dermal Fillers can stimulate your body to produce your own natural collagen. During your visit Dr. Pruitt will listen to your concerns and suggest the products that will give you optimal results. Patient comfort is always a concern and a prescription strength numbing cream and ice can be applied to the area to be treated prior to the treatment. When treating the lips some patients prefer a modified dental block which obviously we can take care of with ease and comfort. Areas that can be treated with fillers include the Lips, Nasolabial Folds, Cheeks, Corners of Mouth, Scars, Vertical Lines above the Lips, under Eyes and below the brow to give the appearance of a lift.

Dr. Pruitt routinely uses the number one injectable filler in the United States, which is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid-a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration to restore facial contours. Results can last 6 months to 1 year. This available with or without lidocaine but Dr. Pruitt only performs this procedure with lidocaine diluted within the filler, providing maximum patient comfort every time.

Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.

There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea or tobacco. During tooth formation consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.

Yes, research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom! is not recommended for individuals with gum or dental disease, children and, pregnant or lactating women.

By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. We recommend flossing, brushing twice daily and touch-ups with Zoom! take-home gel. These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth their brightest. They are available through our office.

The Zoom! light-activated whitening gels active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As Hydrogen Peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching any colored substance while keeping the structure of the tooth unchanged. The Zoom! light aids in activating the Hydrogen Peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth.

No. During the procedure, patients can actually watch television or listen to music. Our office provides an easy to follow protocol for before and after the treatment to minimize any discomfort. Many of our patients fall asleep after a few minutes.

Some people experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold during treatment. These symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment. Keep in mind that if you have any existing dental work such as fillings, crowns, veneers, etc. in your front teeth, they will not whiten or change color after using Zoom.

*This type of whitening is not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing, patients undergoing chemotherapy, children under the age of 13, or patients who are on drugs which would increase sensitivity to light.

I first came to Vestavia Family Dentistry in 2019. I immediately fell in love. Dr. Pruitt was the only dentist to ever try to help me with my smile. Back then my smile was rarely shown because I never showed my teeth due to how bad it looked. However, Dr. Pruitt changed that. I now smile big and bright everywhere I go. Shortly after that I had to change dentist offices due to insurance. I had a horrible experience that made me not want to go back. So now in 2022 I have new insurance and the first appointment I made was to come back and see Dr. Pruitt. Of course I always receive 5 star treatment from the staff as well. I will always recommend him to anyone I meet because he doesn't judge you or make you feel bad, he helps you to feel better about yourself and your smile Ashley Reed

I have been using Vestavia Family Dentistry for many years. It's always been a positive experience and I would definitely recommend Dr. Pruitt and his staff to anyone especially those with anxiety over going to the dentist. The last time I was there I had a pretty long procedure done and the majority of the time Presley was curled up in my lap making sure I was comfortable and relaxed.

VFD has the best staff ever! They were exceptional with my 19 year old son with Autism. He felt very comfortable there and that is a seal of approval if there ever was one! Dr Pruitt convinced him to open his mouth so he could peel inside, a very big deal. Thank y'all for your kindness to our precious boy!

Dr Pruitt is currently working on a smile makeover for me. This is something that I have wanted to do for a long time, but I have been incredibly nervous and anxious to do so. The process couldn't have gone better. The temporaries I am in are already 10x better than what I started with. Not only are Dr. Pruitt & his staff amazing, but that service dog Presley.... I couldn't have gotten through the appointment without her. I was so anxious and she didn't leave my side once!!
