Dr. Johnson’s Dental Blog

Your face is always on display for others to see. You can’t hide it behind long sleeves or baggy jeans, and a hat won’t hide it away on a sleep-in Saturday.

Many lucky Anchorage residents who have received smile makeovers at Excellence In Dentistry believe their dazzling new smile brightens their whole face. Some Eagle River professionals have corrected tooth problems prior to beginning a search for new employment.

A beautiful smile is essential to a polished appearance. Wasilla cosmetic dentistry is not just for people in the public eye, it is for anyone who desires a youthful looking smile.

Teeth whitening is quicker and more popular than ever. Some of our Anchorage cosmetic dental clients invest in total teeth restoration because they have always been self-conscious about chips, gaps or crooked teeth.

Cosmetic dental treatment may consist of dental bonding, dental implants, dental bridges, orthodontics, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening or a combination.

If you are unfamiliar with the latest materials and procedures, see smile makeover expert Dr. Kirk Johnson for a cosmetic dental consultation. Some transformations are completed in just one visit! And don’t forego a new smile because you are afraid of dental treatment. Nervous Anchorage cosmetic dental clients can wake up to a new smile with oral conscious sedation.

It is never too late to get a movie-star smile!

Have you thought about upgrading your smile? Cosmetic dentistry offers many exciting possibilities.

The quickest and least invasive procedure is light teeth whitening. The results are dramatic and teeth whitening side effects are minimal.

If your teeth are slightly crooked, but require no orthodontic work, porcelain veneers could be the answer. Porcelain teeth veneers are translucent, wafer-thin covers that are permanently attached to the front of teeth, correcting chips and stains. Prepless veneers do not require the removal of tooth structure.

If your teeth are more than slightly crooked, it’s not too late for braces. Patients of all ages are undergoing orthodontic treatment and achieving fantastic results. The newest braces are less noticeable, more comfortable and bring teeth into alignment much faster than old-school metal braces.

Has gum recession caused the metal base of an old crown to be visible? Soft tissue grafts and crown replacement can correct this problem.

Are you missing one or more teeth? One of the best tooth replacement options is a dental implant. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

Many Alaska residents have experienced a boost in self-confidence by undergoing restorative or cosmetic dentistry at Excellence In Dentistry in Anchorage. I’m  Dr. Kirk Johnson of Excellence In Dentistry. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping Eagle River dentistry patients dramatically improve their smile and overall health with the latest cosmetic dentistry procedures to correct dental problems and imperfections.

I enjoy consulting with my Wasilla, Palmer, and Southern Alaska cosmetic dentistry patients to create personalized Alaska smile makeover treatment plans. At Excellence In Dentistry, the treatment plan may include tooth bonding, porcelain veneers, or dental implants. For Anchorage patients with old or damaged crowns, we can provide beautiful new dental crowns. Tooth-colored dental fillings are popular for our Alaska cosmetic dentistry patients who are happy to be free of unsightly old silver fillings. It is important to be examined by your Anchorage dentist regularly to check your previous dental work, including fillings, tooth bonding, veneers, crowns and bridges.

At Excellence In Dentistry, we can tailor a cosmetic or restorative dental treatment plan to fit your budget. Eagle River tooth whitening is a surprisingly affordable way to attain a mega-watt smile without spending a lot.

Restorative and cosmetic dentistry can relieve pain, correct bite issues, and prevent future problems. A Anchorage smile makeover is an investment in yourself that you will enjoy every day for many years to come. If you have ever wondered what cosmetic dentistry can do for you, or have some dental concerns, call Excellence In Dentistry at 907-349-0022 to schedule a thorough exam and consultation.

The world always looks brighter from behind a smile.

When my patients ask me about tooth restoration in Anchorage, I usually tell them about fixed (or ‘traditional’) dental bridges or tooth implants. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth which replaces a missing tooth. The false tooth (called a ‘pontic’) is fused to porcelain crowns on either side of the missing tooth.

Tooth replacement has been a highly requested procedure at my Anchorage dental practice. Patients from the Palmer area and Southern Alaska area have expressed concern about tooth replacement for many years. Most of my questions in the Eagle River area have to do with the strength of the tooth replacement, and durability.

Dental implants are also popular concern for my Eagle River tooth replacement patients. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

After it has bonded with the bone (it usually takes three to six months), a smaller post is attached. This post extends above the gum line. The artificial tooth (crown) is then attached. The entire process takes several months, but consistently yields terrific results for Anchorage tooth restoration patients. My Alaska cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the fact that I stay up to date on the latest advancements in tooth replacement procedures.

Both Alaska smile restoration options preserve or restore facial contour and allow you to talk and eat normally. Tooth replacements prevent adjoining teeth from gradually shifting and can help correct bite problems, too. Tooth implants and dental bridges can replace one or more missing teeth. Many Eagle River area dental patients have been treated successfully with these tooth restoration alternatives.

Call Excellence In Dentistry and ask for Dr. Kirk Johnson to schedule an evaluation for Alaska dental implants, bridges or dental crowns. You can schedule your tooth restoration by calling us at 907-349-0022.
