Are you happy with the smile that you see when you look in the mirror? Is there something about it that you would like to change? At Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we want our guests to have the smile they've been dreaming of. We use a variety of cosmetic, restorative, and laser dentistry techniques to create dazzling smiles on a daily basis. Among our tools are such popular products as Zoom!® teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and Invisalign® invisible orthodontics. At Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we believe in bringing our guests the finest that the industry has to offer. Dr. Patrick Broome and Dr. Robert Lowe have participated in special dental training and continuing education programs in order to provide these high-quality treatments.
It is a shame that so many people still feel awkward and uncomfortable with their smiles, believing that nothing can be done. The technology that is available today makes it possible for almost anyone to have the stunning, gorgeous smile they have always wanted. Dr. Broome and Dr. Lowe provide some of the most advanced cosmetic dentistry in the world and a wide variety of smile solutions, including:
If yellowish or stained teeth make you feel self-conscious about your smile, you are not alone. Discoloration of the teeth is one of the most common cosmetic problems in our field. Fortunately, it is also one of the easiest to treat. Teeth whitening treatments can easily and effectively remove stains from coffee, tea, tobacco, and other products, revealing a whiter, brighter smile. We can even treat tetracycline stains with the innovative "Deep Bleaching Technique."
We are proud to offer our guests several different types of teeth whitening systems, including AquaBrite, Nite-White, Opalescence, and Zoom!® teeth whitening, at Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry. We believe it is important to recognize that different guests have different types of discoloration, different expectations, and different levels of sensitivity. We accommodate these variations by offering a variety of teeth whitening systems to choose from, including both in–office and at–home treatments.
Whether you choose a power teeth whitening session at our Charlotte office or a more gradual take–home option, it is important to realize that teeth whitening should always be performed under a dentist’s care. Over–the–counter products may cause irritation, uneven whitening, or damage to the teeth or gums.
Zoom!® teeth whitening , as featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover, has proven to be the one of the most popular teeth whitening system at our Charlotte practice. The process is simple, effective, and safe and takes a little less than an hour from start to finish. First, your lips and gums are protected, and then the special Zoom!® teeth whitening gel is gently brushed on the surface of each tooth. You can then relax in one of our comfortable chairs while a specialized light is shined on the teeth for 15 minutes. This process is repeated twice, and you will emerge from our office with a brighter, whiter smile.
Are you troubled by chips, cracks, or stains on your teeth? Would you prefer to have straighter, more even teeth, but can't stand the idea of going through a long orthodontic process? Porcelain veneers can mask a wide variety of common aesthetic problems and can be used alone or along with other cosmetic or restorative dentistry procedures. Teeth that are badly discolored, chipped, or mildly crooked can be made to appear white, whole, and beautifully straight with porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are designed to be bonded to your existing teeth, masking imperfections and adding strength and durability. They are made of a high-grade porcelain that looks natural, blends beautifully with the surrounding teeth, and is resistant to staining or discoloration. To see the effect porcelain veneers can have, visit the Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry Smile Gallery.
One of the many benefits of porcelain veneers is how easily they can make crooked, twisted, or malformed teeth appear straight. In fact, using a combination of dental crowns, implants, porcelain veneers and laser dentistry, we can make almost any smile appear beautifully even and straight in minutes instead of months. Treatment is reasonably simple and can have a dramatic effect on the appearance of your smile.
The new standard in orthodontics has been set by Invisalign® invisible braces. At Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer Invisalign® as a highly effective alternative to the chunky wires and bands of traditional metal braces. The custom-made Invisalign® aligners are designed to gently guide teeth into place over time, as the guest switches from one aligner in a series to the next. Made of a strong, clear plastic, Invisalign® aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, which helps to prevent post-orthodontic cavities.
The Invisalign® system is a particularly impressive example of how dental technology has improved the way cosmetic dentistry is practiced. Once the dentist has taken impressions and photos, he sends them to a lab where a sophisticated computer modeling system is used to make progressively better aligned replicas of a guest’s teeth. Once the series is complete, these are used to form the aligners.
Invisalign® at Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry is a great option for adult guests who may be self-conscious about their crooked teeth but may not be willing to wear shiny metal in their mouths for a year or more. Invisalign® aligners are virtually undetectable while they are worn, allowing people to smile without drawing attention to the fact that they’re straightening their teeth.
For minor imperfections, such as small cracks or chips, faint stains, or subtle misalignments, bonding is a quick, convenient solution. Using a high-strength, custom color-matched resin, Dr. Broome and Dr. Lowe conceal the damaged area and reinforce the tooth, creating a picture perfect smile that looks entirely natural.
Within the last few years, the wonders of cosmetic dentistry have gained significant popularity and attention, due to certain reality TV programs. Thousands of people are now choosing to get a total smile makeover, improving their smiles and overall appearance. At Charlotte Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we use a combination of treatments, including Zoom!® or other teeth whitening products, porcelain veneers, Invisalign®, laser dentistry, bonding, and more to create the beautiful smile you desire and deserve. Let us be your destination for an extreme smile makeover and enjoy truly stunning results.
