Smile Makeovers

LUMINEERS are now available.

Dr. Strauss and the staff are so excited to now offer LUMINEERS to their patients.  LUMINEERS are the popular thin veneers that are perfect for:

• Whitening teeth permanently
• Strengthening chipped, thin or fragile teeth
• Closing spaces between teeth and
• Cosmetically improving worn teeth 

Best of all this can be accomplished without reducing sensitive tooth structure and usually with no needles.  And because there is none or minimal tooth preparation, the LUMINEERS are strong due to the ability to bond them directly to enamel rather than dentin.  In addition, LUMINEERS offer the ability for the patient to audition their new smile before placement.

An attractive smile is a powerful asset that can enhance a person's self esteem. We have seen it happen. Advances in dentistry can literally redesign your smile in as little as two visits. Dr. Strauss has been specially trained to transform your smile in a way that is natural and in proportion to your unique facial structure. The patient helps choose the shape and color of their new smile. At the patient's request, a digital image can be made to help the patient see what their new smile will look like. Additionally, a custom wax model can be made from the lab in the desired shape and size so the patient can envision the final result. A smile makeover can incorporate several different types of restorations including veneers, crowns and onlays depending on the patient's needs. It some cases it may also involve restoring the bite to a new more desirable position, resulting in increased comfort as well as attractiveness.
