An attractive smile is a personal and professional asset. It allows one to interact in social and professional environments with ease and confidence. Your smile is one of the most important things people notice about your appearance, second only to the eyes. Beautiful smiles have several things in common - - the teeth are white, not discolored; upper teeth follow the contour of the lower lip, they are straight not crooked; and finally, your smile should compliment your face, gender, age, and even your personality.

Probably the most dramatic treatment Dr. Blourchian offers is the cosmetic smile lift. Using a variety of procedures, your smile can be transformed to an ideal one you have dreamed of. We first start by listening to your desires and preferences. Next, we analyze your smile completely. Then, if you desire, we will do "cosmetic imaging" using a computer. This will give you an idea of how you will look after treatment is completed, before we even begin! Actual treatment takes only two appointments in a period of two weeks. Patients are amazed at how the treatment improves their appearances and self-images. For some of them, it is a life-changing event.

A porcelain veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that covers the front and edge of the tooth. Using porcelain veneers, we can close gaps, change the size and shape of teeth, make teeth whiter, or even straighten crooked teeth. Porcelain veneers can repair chips, cracks, and unaesthetic fillings, making them stronger and beautiful. It is a conservative, fast, convenient way to dramatically improve one's smile and appearance.

Do you think your smile is getting darker with time?
Bleaching is a very effective and popular procedure to whiten and improve your smile. We offer two types of bleaching. The first one is called "home bleaching," which starts by fabricating a custom tray to fit your teeth. We then give you a bleaching solution to use in the tray at the convenience of your home. Your teeth will be bleached in a few weeks, depending on how often you use it.

The second method is "Laser Bleaching." It is the state of the art method in bleaching. We use the Brite Smile system, which is truly the superior technology in this category. You spend two hours in our office and walk out with whiter teeth! It is an amazing technology.

Modern dentistry has totally eliminated the need for silver fillings. These unsightly fillings can now be replaced with tooth colored porcelain inlays or onlays, making the tooth stronger at the same time. These restorations are bonded to the tooth and sometimes eliminate the need for crowns, preserving a healthy tooth structure.

One of the most spectacular achievements of modern dentistry is dental implants.

Dental implants are devices that are firmly attached to your jawbone, providing the foundation for the new teeth. They can be utilized to replace a single tooth, several teeth or provide a foundation for the dentures. Dental implants may also help preserve bone.

If you are suffering from loose, unfitting partials or dentures: Many denture wearers have become actual dental cripples and are unable to enjoy the simple pleasures of life that so many of us take for granted. Chewing becomes a difficult and frustrating experience. Diet will consist of mainly soft food that lack nutrients. This affects the general heath. Eating out in public, singing in church choir on Sunday or simple act of kissing are avoided and forgotten.

Dental implants are restoring the quality of life for many of these people. The quality of life, health, self esteem and confidence has drastically improved.

If you need to replace one or few teeth: In the past, in order to replace a missing tooth, one would automatically get a bridge. While it is still a widely performed procedure, it involves grinding adjacent teeth that might be healthy and would not need any treatment otherwise. Implant dentistry is a conservative treatment principle that spares the adjacent teeth.

If you have a compromised tooth with a questionable future: The advancements in implant dentistry have reached a point that there is no more need to try to save severely compromised teeth with a huge effort and expense. Implants are simply better than seriously compromised dentition.

We offer a complimentary consultation for you to find out if you are a candidate.
