YOUR BEST CHOICE FOR COSMETIC DENTISTRY
IN THE ANCHORAGE AK AREA

Maintaining excellent oral health is very important, but we also understand that for many adults improving how the teeth look is a priority as well. We offer a wide range of cosmetic services that can fix stains, chips, cracks, gaps, and misalignments to give you the look of your dreams.

Sometimes the best way to achieve the most beautiful results is through a complete smile makeover plan customized for your individual needs. Your esthetic needs will vary from tooth to tooth, and there are a variety of cosmetic procedures available to create your best smile. Your personal makeover can include more simple procedures like teeth whitening or more complex procedures like dental veneers and dental implants — or maybe a combination of everything. The results are a brilliant smile tailored just to you.

• Increases oral health — Removing stains or correcting damage offers a number of oral health benefits that can leave lasting effects and prevent problems from arising in the future. Plus, it is simply easier to keep your mouth clean when it is filled with straight, beautiful teeth.
• Improves overall health—For optimal health and wellness, it is vital to eat a varied diet of foods with high nutritional value. Yet people with crooked, missing or misshapen teeth often find that they have trouble chewing certain foods. When you do manage to eat, your food may not be digested as efficiently, since chewing is an important first step in the digestive process. Improving your ability to chew with cosmetic dentistry can help ensure that your body receives important nutrients and processes them properly.
• Reduces signs of aging — Even the most simple touchups to a smile can eliminate wrinkles, crow’s feet and other signs of aging, leaving our patients with a more youthful, confident and healthier appearance.
• Can be completed quickly with little recovery — Most cosmetic dental procedures are fairly quick to complete and boast of a quick and speedy recovery. This makes it easier for our patients to customize their makeover plan the fit their unique schedule. Treatments can also be spread out over time to accommodate all types of schedules and budgets.
• Offers beautiful, lasting results — Not only are the results of cosmetic dental treatments stunning, they are long-lasting as well! Our most popular smile makeover procedures, such as crowns and veneers, can last up to 10 years! Other procedures, like teeth whitening, will require regular maintenance, but when paired with proper daily hygiene and at-home preventive treatments, the effects of even just one treatment are lasting.

Cosmetic smile makeover plans are customized to each patient which means that pricing can vary greatly from one individual to another. During your consultation, you will be provided with a treatment plan that reviews your timeline for treatment and all associated pricing. Cosmetic dentistry treatments are not cheap – if they were, they wouldn’t be worth it — but with improvements in technology, financing options and the expanding of coverage by insurance companies, cosmetic dentistry is becoming more affordable than ever before.

We don’t want the cost of treatment to keep you from receiving the care you want or need. Our team offers various financing options to make smile makeovers more affordable, and we will work with you to create a payment plan that meets your needs and budget.

Pretty much everyone is a candidate for a cosmetic smile makeover! The bigger question is which services are best for you. Because a smile makeover is a step beyond responding to dental health problems, it’s important to first make sure you have a healthy mouth and any major dental issues have been taken care of prior to your cosmetic treatments. For example, you may have an underlining disease causing shifts in your teeth which would fight against the effectiveness of clear aligners. Or if your teeth are stained from drinking wine or coffee, then dental veneers would be a more effective whitening option than bleaching or whitening trays. Once your oral health condition has been determined, consider asking yourself the following questions:

• Do your teeth have chips, cracks or wear that you’d like fixed?
• Are your teeth as white as you want them to be?
• Do your teeth look too big or too small?
• Does your smile appear gummy?
• Would you like any gaps or holes fixed?
• Do you like how your teeth are aligned?
• Are you self-conscious about any aspect of your smile?

After all, cosmetic dentistry is about giving you the smile of your dreams. A perfect smile looks different to different people. Some may imagine perfectly straight teeth while others may value the whitest and brightest smile possible. And others still may go for a more natural look that leaves a few small gaps or color variations. It’s important to communicate exactly what changes you want to see in as much detail as possible at your initial consultation, and Alaska Smiles will help you determine the possibilities in terms of your facial balance, oral health as a whole, schedule, and budget.
