With porcelain veneers, you can revamp your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Porcelain veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that are attached to the front of your teeth. Porcelain has been used in dentistry for many years because no other restorative material is such an excellent match for natural tooth enamel. Porcelain is translucent and can be matched to the color of any tooth. It is stronger than enamel and resists stains. Dental ceramists who fabricate porcelain veneers are both artists and technicians. They create beautiful paper-thin wafers that adhere to teeth, correcting chips and stains. Porcelain veneers can also straighten crooked teeth for patients who don’t need orthodontic work.

Patients who receive porcelain veneers appreciate the less-invasive process of enhancing their smile. Newer techniques require no removal of healthy tooth enamel.

We would be happy to show you what dental veneers can do for your smile at our Anchorage dental office.

Excellence In Dentistry is located at 1000 East O’Malley, Suite 101, Anchorage, AK in Anchorage. We provide skilled dental care for patients in the greater Eagle River area. Our phone number is 907-349-0022. You can visit /about-us/ for information about our practice and our caring team.

Smile – sunshine is good for your teeth!

Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Never Necessary for a Healthy Smile

Many so-called Eagle River cosmetic dental procedures are not solely cosmetic. Wasilla dental procedures such as tooth replacement are smile-enhancing and, more importantly, prevent many potential problems such as tooth movement, bone loss and difficulty chewing and speaking.

Myth #2: A Palmer Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth

Dental bridges are an Anchorage dental cosmetic procedure that have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many advantages for Southern Alaska dental patients. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Alaska tooth implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

Myth #3: At-Home Kits are as Effective for Tooth Whitening Than a Professional Dental Solution

At Excellence In Dentistry, we offer our Eagle River dental patients teeth whitening treatments that provide a much greater level of whiteness than at-home kits. At-home kits may remove surface stains, but they do not provide optimum results and can often lead to uneven coloring.

Myth #4: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth.

Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Call us at 907-349-0022 to set up an appointment so we can determine the best solution for you.

Myth #5: Wasilla Braces are the Only Way to Straighten Teeth

Braces are often part of a transforming dental makeover for our Eagle River teens and adults alike. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, invisible braces can reshape your teeth and dramatically improve your smile.

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.
