shutterstock_100424281For a lot of people, having insecurities about your smile can be crippling. It may be the color of your teeth, the misalignment, or the apparent fillings. A lot of people, though, are not confident in their smile because they have missing teeth. Dentures partials are a couple ways to handle the issue, but dental implants at Premier Family Dental may be perfect for you! A life changing and convenient procedure, dental implants can definitely revolutionize your life for the better.

The adventure of dental implanting starts with a consultation with our very own Dr. Rick Cofer. There, he will be able to evaluate your smile and speak with you about your long term goals. Once you are considered to be a candidate, the fun actually begins. A metal implant, very much resembling a screw, is embedded into your jaw bone. This metal implant provides security and stability for your new teeth. Then the abutment is added, which is essentially a support system for the metal implant as well as the crown placed on top. After that, the tooth-resembling crown is cemented to the abutment, completing your new look!

With a 98% success rate, dental implants will give you back the self esteem you lost, as well as improve your speech and ability to eat. One other plus regarding dental implants is the fact they look very natural. Smoothly blending in with your natural teeth, implants are a sure way for you to look as organic and natural as possible. With Dr. Cofer being able to do the whole procedure in his office, it is a convenient, wonderful way for you to change your smile! Contact our office to see if you’re a candidate for dental implants, and celebrate the New Year with a new smile!

They go through life putting their hands in front of their mouths every time they laugh or smile to avoid embarrassment. Luckily, at Premier Family Dental, we offer dental bonding for chipped or cracked teeth, sure to put your dental woes to rest. With years of experience in cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Rick Cofer, Jr. is able to transform your smile from drab to wow!

A couple of the most common uses for dental bonding are to fill gaps between and reshape teeth; dental bonding can even be used as fillings, making your smile look more natural versus having a mouth full of metal. A branch of adhesive dentistry, dental bonding involves putting a tooth-colored resin on your natural tooth, which is then cemented with the use of a blue light. Usually consisting of a single visit at Premier Family Dental, the wait time for transforming your smile is nearly none!

If you’re insecure about the length of your teeth, dental bonding can help in that area as well! Though it may seem like a small thing to change, lengthening the look of your teeth or closing gaps can change the way you think about meeting new people, joining your friends in a laugh, and your overall look. Get your confidence back, and make an appointment at our office. You are sure to be in good hands with Dr. Cofer, Jr., so let him change your life, and your smile, for the better!
