A number of procedures can be done to enhance the esthetics of a patient’s smile. Listed are a number of ways Dr. Sherer can help you achieve the esthetics you desire:

  • Replace Old, Discolored fillings – Since composite fillings are relatively new, some of the early composite material had a tendency to stain and darken. By replacing these old fillings or unwanted silver fillings, Dr. Sherer can make your smile look brighter and younger.
  • Whitening – Dr. Sherer offers prescription strength at home whitener to fight aging and staining in teeth. Research shows that this type of whitening gives the best results and has the longest lasting effect on your teeth. Whitening is a simple way to give new life to your teeth. Dr. Sherer is willing to talk to you about the advantages and disadvantages of whitening your teeth. If you decide to whiten your teeth, we take impressions of your mouth and make a custom tray to help evenly apply the whitening solution. Most patients see significant results within a couple days.
  • Tooth Straightening – More people are getting braces now than ever before. From teenagers to middle-agers, most people realize that straight teeth is the key to an esthetic smile. Dr. Sherer has a number of good orthodontists that he works in conjunction with to help achieve straight teeth. In addition to the esthetic enhancement, straight teeth can give you the optimum function out of your teeth.
  • Veneers – Occasionally a tooth may be completely healthy, but does not look esthetically pleasing. Dr. Sherer can change the outward appearance of the tooth by placing a more esthetic facing on the front of the tooth. This can be done either with a resin filling material or a porcelain veneer that is cemented to the front of the tooth. Dr. Sherer can let you know more about the advantages and disadvantages of these procedures and to let you know if you are a good candidate.
