The state of your mouth is vital to your strength both emotionally and physically. Everyone wants to make a positive impression when they smile or speak. We understand that.

After you schedule a consultation with our knowledgeable team members here at The Reno Dentist please take a moment to review the following checklist for a productive appointment experience:

When do you brush your teeth? Do you floss? How often? If not, why? We can review your habits and determine what is holding you back, if anything.
2. Identify pain or problem areas throughout your mouth.
Persistent or intermittent? Sharp or dull? Triggered by hot or cold? Living with pain is unnecessary with the technology and expertise available these days. Sometimes there are uncomplicated solutions to seemingly big pains. Let us address all your aches.

Smile Perfection In Reno

“The most difficult part of attaining perfection is finding something to do for an encore.” – Author Unknown

We are committed to perfection at The Reno Dentist where we create perfect smiles for our Spanish Springs cosmetic dental and Virginia City smile makeover patients.

Here are some of the cosmetic dental procedures we use in smile makeovers at The Reno Dentist in Reno.

Implant Dentistry
Dental implants are the ultimate tooth restoration available in Sparks, Nevada or anywhere else, for that matter. A tooth implant consists of a metal post that is inserted into your jawbone. The post replaces the root of the missing tooth.

After a few months, it meshes with your jawbone to provide the strength and integrity of a natural tooth. A base and beautiful crown is permanently attached to the post. For most Sparks patients with missing teeth, it is the preferred restoration. Implants can also be used to attach dentures and partial dentures for innovative no-slip implant/denture combos.

Crowns
A mainstay of Reno cosmetic dentistry, dental crowns are more beautiful than ever. New fabrication technologies and materials have improved the aesthetics and durability of this restorative option.

Veneers
A dental veneer is a more conservative treatment than a full crown. This is a good choice for Spanish Springs patients whose teeth are structurally sound but have unsightly problems such as discoloration, chips, cracks, or imperfect shape. Are you one of the many Reno teens or Virginia City adults with dark tetracycline stains? Call us today at 775-323-0700 to say goodbye to tetracycline stains!

Inlays/Onlays
Inlays and onlays (indirect fillings) are designed and developed using dental CAD/CAM software. These fillings are strong, attractive, and precisely fitted to the cavity.

Tooth Whitening
Teeth bleaching is the crowning touch for a brilliant smile. (It’s the only thing you need if you are a fortunate Sparks man or woman with perfectly-shaped and aligned teeth.) No one in Carson City or Virginia City has to live with dull or stained teeth. Call us today for a teeth whitening consultation at our Reno office.

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the accessibility of state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry in the Reno area.

The truly amazing thing about cosmetic dentistry is that it’s one celebrity perk that is accessible to almost everyone.

Cosmetic Dentistry vs. General Dentistry In Reno

Posted on
Categories: Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry vs. General Dentistry In Reno Hello, I’m Dr. Sykes Shane. Welcome to my Reno cosmetic dentistry blog. Today’s article focuses on the difference between general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.

General dentists in Reno are dedicated to preventing and treating oral disease such as cavities and gum disease. When a problem is diagnosed, let’s say, a cavity between two teeth, a general dentist will assess the best way to restore the tooth involved.

Reno cosmetic dentists perform elective dental procedures that make a smile more attractive. Cosmetic dentistry procedures available at The Reno Dentist in Reno include teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, dental bonding, veneers, inlays, onlays, and dental crowns.

Some Reno dentists, like myself, offer both general and cosmetic dentistry procedures. In some cases, there is a cosmetic component to restorative procedures. For example, if a Reno dental patient comes in after receiving an injury that chipped a front tooth, the tooth needs to be restored to prevent decay. The tooth is also less structurally sound, so it is vulnerable to further damage. In addition, the tooth affects the overall appearance of the smile. Depending on the specifics of the damage, there are several of restorative options. Dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and crowns are all used to repair a damaged tooth.

As you can see, there is not always a definitive line between general and cosmetic dentistry. At The Reno Dentist, my knowledgeable team provides the full spectrum of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental procedures. We treat Sparks area patients of all ages: from toddlers just beginning to get their baby teeth to mature clients who remember the days when many people were afraid of dentists and their whiny drills. (Some of our wonderful elderly Reno patients have crowns that are twice as old as our hygienists.)

Experienced Reno dental professionals who perform pediatric, general, orthodontic, and cosmetic dental procedures can meet all of your families’ dental needs.

If you are looking for a full-service dental practice in the Sparks area, I invite you to come into The Reno Dentist in Reno, We are located at 855 W Seventh St Ste 200. To schedule an oral examination or smile makeover consultation, call 775-323-0700.

Unfortunately, not everyone in Sparks smiles all the time. And not everyone is smiled at all the time. But even frowns need to be clean if you want to maintain a high level of oral health.

If you are looking for a dentist that will serve you with a smile and help keep your teeth ready for a smile at a moment’s notice, we invite you to schedule a consultation at The Reno Dentist in Reno.

Dr. Shane Sykes, DMD, and the knowledgeable dental team at The Reno Dentist are experts at cleaning, restoring and improving smiles in Reno, Nevada. We do find that patients are interested in more than clean teeth and healthy gums, though these are certainly vital priorities.

We provide a wide variety of innovative cosmetic dental services for our patients. Our dental services include but are not limited to Invisalign, root canals, dentures, porcelain veneers, and wisdom teeth extraction.

If it’s not a mega-watt celebrity smile you’re looking for, then perhaps we could interest you in a more serious professional look or a sly half grin. If your frown’s getting you down, even when your teeth have been cleaned, let us help you achieve the look that will make you proud to smile. We can meet your needs and answer your questions:

How much do braces cost in Carson City?
What is that pain when I chew?
Do I need a crown?
Can I straighten my teeth without braces?
What can be done with this chipped tooth?
Am I a candidate for veneers?
How does a dental bridge work?
