Maybe you are looking for straighter and more balanced teeth. This is where Dr. Peter and cosmetic dentistry options come in. Cosmetic dentistry is the easiest way to improve the appearance of your teeth for a brighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile that is designed to complement your appearance.
What are the most common cosmetic problems that patients have with their teeth?
There are multiple causes of discolored or stained teeth. Coffee, tea, soda, and other drinks and foods may stain teeth over time. Smoking and tobacco products are also major causes of staining. Less apparent causes can also be a problem, as some medicines discolor teeth and aging wears down enamel to show the darker underlayer of dentin.
Another common reason to choose cosmetic dentistry is crooked or misaligned teeth. Patients who want straighter and more balanced teeth often look for options that will give them a smile that is more aligned and aesthetically pleasing.
If you have decayed or missing teeth, it is nothing to be ashamed of. Missing and decaying teeth is a problem that is more common than you think. According to the American Dental Association, ?the average adult between the ages of 20 and 64 has three or more decayed or missing teeth.?

Invisalign uses custom-fit thin clear plastic aligners to keep teeth in place. This is the best option for patients who have used orthodontic treatment.
Durable porcelain veneers are the best option for patients who want a permanent solution to stained teeth. Veneers restore stained or discolored teeth for a whiter smile. Dr. Peter uses the services of Dental Labs with Master Ceramists to deliver beautiful results.
Dental implants are titanium posts that act like tooth roots. Implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gum line to create a sturdy foundation for missing teeth.
