Frequently Asked Questions

Cosmetic Dentistry: Crafting a Radiant Smile

At Livewell Dental, we do more than just focus on the technical side of dentistry—we are deeply passionate about crafting radiant smiles.

A dazzling smile isn't just about optimal dental hygiene. It's a powerful sign of joy, warmth, and immense self-confidence. We're committed to providing you with a smile that boosts both your confidence and spirits.

Our porcelain veneers application stands as one of our hallmark services. In the realm of cosmetic dentistry, these finely-tuned, tailor-made shells are designed with the utmost precision. They are delicately molded to seamlessly cover the front of your teeth, providing both a practical and aesthetically pleasing remedy for multiple dental challenges.

These veneers are proficient at hiding imperfections such as chipped teeth or deep-rooted discolorations—providing you with a beautiful, authentic-looking smile that you can proudly showcase. With an unwavering commitment to precision, we ensure your veneers harmoniously blend with the hue and structure of your natural teeth—allowing you to smile with confidence.

We also pride ourselves on our composite bonding procedure—a swift and minimally invasive cosmetic enhancement. Using a resin that mirrors the shade of your tooth, we expertly mend decayed, fractured, or stained teeth, heightening their visual allure while reinstating their functional capability.

We understand that a mesmerizing smile isn't just about impeccable teeth, though. If an uneven gum line or a "gummy" appearance makes you self-conscious, our gum contouring service might be your answer. With a seasoned and skillful team at the helm, we artistically sculpt your gums, forging a gum line that brilliantly complements your teeth and enriches your smile's overall charm.

We're also thrilled to present our teeth whitening service. Leveraging cutting-edge whitening procedures, we proficiently remove even the most obstinate stains, not only reviving your teeth's innate luster but also blessing you with a radiant, attention-grabbing smile.

At Livewell Dental, we strongly believe that everyone deserves a smile that they cherish. Our extensive suite of cosmetic dentistry treatments is curated to actualize this vision for you. Be it porcelain veneers, composite bonding, gum reshaping, or teeth whitening, we're at your service.

Our mission at Livewell Dental is to magnify the splendor of your smile.

Restorative Dentistry: Revitalizing Your Oral Health

Tooth decay, natural aging, unforeseen injuries, or accidents can detrimentally affect the aesthetics and health of our smiles. This is where the transformative power of restorative dentistry comes in.

At Livewell Dental, we recognize and value the pivotal role that restorative dentistry holds in rejuvenating the beauty, health, and functionality of your smile. Our team of experienced experts is fervently committed to reviving the robustness, contour, and vigor of your teeth, providing you with a smile that's not only captivating but also stronger and more enduring than you ever thought possible.

Among our widely sought-after restorative treatments is the crafting of porcelain crowns. These caps, shaped to replicate the tooth, are meticulously designed with utmost precision. Their main purpose is to rejuvenate the strength, appearance, and size of damaged teeth. Porcelain crowns not only reinstate the tooth's function but also harmoniously integrate with the rest of your teeth, merging beauty with utility.

Beyond porcelain crowns, our extensive repertoire of restorative offerings includes porcelain inlays and onlays. These are distinct from conventional fillings. Tailored in a specialized dental laboratory, they are subsequently placed and adhered to the affected tooth. This method furnishes a solution that surpasses traditional fillings in durability and visual appeal, elevating the overall appearance and utility of your smile.

For those with missing teeth affecting their confidence, our porcelain bridges are the ideal solution. These expertly sculpted dental prosthetics are designed to substitute the space left vacant by missing teeth, adeptly "bridging" the emptiness. Apart from amplifying your smile's aesthetic allure, these artificial teeth also re-establish your ability to speak and chew with assurance—creating a smile that's both visually delightful and functional.

Another cornerstone in our restorative arsenal at Livewell Dental is dental implants. Echoing the appearance, sturdiness, and function of natural teeth, these implants are surgically anchored into the jawbone, setting a sturdy foundation for the subsequent replacement teeth. Dental implants empower you to eat, converse, and laugh naturally. They are also expertly crafted to endure for years to come.

Our main goal with our comprehensive restorative dentistry is to help bring back your bright smile and the confidence that comes with it. Whether it's porcelain crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, or dental implants, Livewell Dental is here to help you achieve the smile you've always wanted and more.

General Dentistry: Prioritizing Preventative Care, Evaluations, and Treatments

Maintaining good oral health is all about prevention. At Livewell Dental, our core dental services focus on ensuring your smile lasts by providing preventative measures.

Regular dental check-ups are essential for top oral care. Using the latest tools and techniques, our skilled dental team effectively removes plaque and tartar, known culprits of tooth decay and gum issues. After each cleaning, you'll leave with a refreshed, clean smile.

Dental evaluations are just as important, helping us catch dental issues early. By identifying these problems sooner, we can implement preventive steps, saving you from more complex and costly treatments later on.

We also offer root canal treatments. Contrary to common beliefs, root canals are meant to ease pain, not cause it. If tooth damage or decay reaches the inner pulp, a root canal can save the tooth, relieve pain, and prevent extraction.

Dental fillings are another key part of our services. They're crucial for repairing decayed or damaged teeth. The tooth-colored fillings we use not only function well but also blend naturally with your smile.

To further ensure good dental health, we provide fluoride treatments. This natural mineral strengthens your teeth's outer layer. Through a quick and easy treatment, we apply a fluoride solution that helps prevent decay, enhancing the longevity of your smile.

We also emphasize gum health, focusing on keeping gums healthy and preventing gum disease. Our expert hygienists make sure your gums stay in top condition with thorough cleanings and tailored care.

At Livewell Dental, we believe in teamwork. We work hand-in-hand with you, combining our expertise with your goals to develop a personalized dental plan suited to your needs and lifestyle. We're committed to a relaxed, stress-free dental experience that leaves you with a confident, shining smile. We aim to be your go-to partner in maintaining excellent oral health and achieving the perfect smile.
