Cosmetic Dentist Lucas

Pre-Treatment Evaluation

Before you can receive any sort of cosmetic dental treatment, you’ll need to meet with Dr. Hubler for a pre-treatment evaluation of your airway and TMJs (jaw joints) to determine any dysfunction that could compromise the success of your long-term results. He’ll also want to thoroughly evaluate your oral health to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough to receive treatment. All of this will be discussed with you before proceeding with any type of care; we want you to be able to make informed decisions you feel confident about!

Veneers

Veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic solutions that we offer here at our Lucas office, and when you consider everything they can accomplish, it’s easy to see why they’re so popular. These small, thin porcelain coverings can mask a wide range of aesthetic flaws in teeth, including chips, stains, gaps, and even misshapen teeth. Plus, since they’re custom-made for you, you can rest easy knowing they blend in perfectly with your natural smile!

Metal-Free Restorations

In the past, many types of dental restorations involved the use of metal materials, which while durable, were far from natural-looking and also came with other drawbacks such as temperature sensitivity. We’re excited to offer entirely metal-free restorations at our office, as well as CEREC same-day inlays and onlays. Better yet, in addition to offering amazing aesthetics, these solutions are also just as durable and reliable as their traditional counterparts.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding, sometimes simply called dental bonding, involves using a small amount of composite resin to cover up aesthetic flaws in teeth. This is the same material used in fillings, so you can feel good about it being safe and biocompatible. It’s ideal for stubborn stains, as well as chipped teeth, and the material capable of withstanding the forces of biting and chewing. Additionally, it can be perfectly color-matched to your surrounding enamel.

Teeth Whitening

Are you tired of looking in the mirror and being met with stained and dull teeth? Teeth whitening can help! Our office offers both in-office whitening, as well as take-home kits from KöR. These treatments are designed to safely whiten teeth by several shades, and since the whole process is overseen by Dr. Hubler and our team, you won’t have to worry about sensitivity or unnatural results.

Gum Recontouring & Crown Lengthening

Some patients have what’s commonly referred to as a “gummy” smile, which simply means they have excess gum tissue covering up larger-than-normal portions of their teeth. Using a process called gum recontouring (or crown lengthening), we can safely reshape the gumline and give it a more symmetrical appearance, which greatly enhances the smile’s aesthetics.

Smile Makeovers

Some patients worry that their smiles suffer from far too many aesthetic issues for cosmetic dentistry to be a realistic option, or they’re concerned that achieving their goals would take too much time or effort. The truth is, these cases aren’t uncommon at all, and smile makeovers are designed specifically to help. After examining your smile and speaking with you about what you’d like to accomplish, Dr. Hubler can put together a custom treatment plan that combines different cosmetic services, and sometimes restorative treatments, to help you achieve your desired look. Plus, since we utilize digital treatment planning as part of this process, you’ll even be able to preview your results before we get started!
