Cosmetic Dentistry

In our office, the term “Cosmetic” or “Aesthetic Dentistry” applies to many procedures from replacing an old amalgam in a single tooth with natural, tooth colored filling to creating an entirely new and beautiful smile. While the term is also frequently associated with those in Hollywood or other famous personalities, we feel that everyone should have the ability to have healthy and beautiful smiles and we are committed to helping you achieve this.

More Than Just Appearance

Cosmetic dentistry will, assuredly, improve your appearance but Dr. Oppenlander accomplishes far more when treating you and your needs. Cosmetic dentistry blends the best of science and art to create restorations that not only improve your appearance, but also improve the strength, function, and longevity of your teeth.

Our Process
