What We Offer | Dental Conditions Below is a partial list of several of the cosmetic services that we offer to our patients. In order for us to better service your dental needs, we recommend a complete examination in which we will create a dental plan that suits you or your children’s dental health and lifestyle. Cosmetics
Dentures We do most dentures at our office, but if the need arises, we have access to dentists that specialize in dentures. This provides the patient with the best care most dentists can provide. Teeth Whitening With the increased amount of over-the-counter whitening systems, a very good result can be achieved at a minimal cost. But some situations arise where other methods are needed to achieve the desired result. We can help you with your options to fill the gap between home bleaching and traditional dentistry. Crowns and Bridges Crown and Bridge techniques have been around for 100 years. Surprisingly enough many of these materials that were used then are still in use today. The materials and techniques have been refined to the point that a crown or bridge (used for replacing a missing tooth or teeth) is better and easier than it ever has been. Prior to 1950 a crown prep took 8 hours, now it’s down to about one hour. Veneers Veneers are one of the greatest improvements in the world of dentistry. Today, instead of slowly watching composite material turn dark or chip, you have the option of a veneer. Veneers made of porcelain are thin, durable and color stable. Veneers are thin and beautifully aesthetic, require less tooth restructuring than many other aesthetic types of restorations. Veneers truly bring dentistry to a higher level of aesthetics.

Cosmetic dentistry has been probably the fastest changing area of
dentistry in the last 10 years. Materials and techniques have changed
so fast that these are new concepts. Which are being revised almost
yearly. Keeping in the forefront of these changes is the reasons for
continuing dental education that is why Dr. Liljas takes at least 30
hours of classes every year.
