Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that is performed to conceal a variety of aesthetic problems in teeth, including chips, cracks, and misalignment. In this procedure, a dental bonding material referred to as composite resin is applied to the teeth. The type of composite resin used in the procedure is carefully selected to match the color of the patient’s surrounding teeth. After preparing the teeth so that the composite resin adheres properly, Dr. Cooper applies and shapes the bonding material to the teeth. This material can straighten and change the shape of teeth in addition to covering chips, cracks, and stains. A high intensity light is used to harden the resin, and the bonded tooth is then buffed and polished to complete the procedure.

The entire dental bonding procedure can be completed in just one office visit, and results can last for years. For further information about dental bonding, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Cooper at our cosmetic dentistry practice.

Tooth-colored Fillings

Dr. Cooper is proud to offer tooth-colored fillings at his practice as an alternative to traditional metal fillings. Tooth-colored fillings offer significant cosmetic advantages over traditional silver amalgam fillings. Whereas the metal used in silver fillings was often very noticeable, the white composite resin used in tooth-colored fillings is practically undetectable. Patients who have their cavities filled with tooth-colored fillings no longer have to worry about having a “metal smile.” Dr. Cooper can also replace existing metal fillings with tooth-colored fillings to create a more natural-looking smile.

Gum Lifting

Laser gum lifting, also known as laser gum recontouring, is a procedure that is performed to improve the appearance of a “gummy smile.”  For individuals who have uneven gums or who have gums that extend too far onto the surfaces of their teeth, laser gum lifting can shape and remove excess gum tissue in a single procedure. In the past, gum lifting was accomplished through the use of a scalpel, and the procedure often resulted in an uncomfortable recovery period. Now, laser gum lifting can be completed quickly and painlessly, without any post-procedural downtime. A local anesthetic is administered during treatment to ensure that the patient experiences no discomfort.

To learn more about this advanced treatment for removing excess tissue and improving the gum line, please contact our practice to schedule a gum lifting consultation. With this advanced laser technology, Dr. Cooper can ensure that your gums enhance your smile rather than detract from it.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers, also known as “instant orthodontics,” can transform an individual’s smile. Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that are placed over teeth to hide imperfections. With this advanced treatment, Dr. Cooper can correct chipped, cracked, stained, or discolored teeth – all at the same time! Results are natural looking and durable.

DURAthin® Veneers

DURAthin® veneers are similar to porcelain veneers in that they are placed over teeth to hide imperfections and enhance the beauty of an individual’s smile. Because they are thinner than traditional porcelain veneers, however, they do not require the removal of any of the tooth’s natural enamel. They are custom-crafted so that they can be affixed to teeth in the same manner that contact lenses are placed over eyes. Dentists must undergo specialized training before they can offer this advanced treatment, and Dr. Cooper is the only dentist certified in Central Arkansas to offer DURAthin® veneers.

Teeth Whitening

One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments, teeth whitening can whiten teeth by up to eight shades. We offer Nite White® take-home whitening trays so you can whiten your teeth in the comfort and privacy of your own home. This teeth whitening treatment produces dazzling, long-lasting results.
