What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry combines artistry with advanced dental techniques to enhance the appearance of your smile while improving function and oral health. At Lathrop Dental, we offer transformative treatments like porcelain veneers and dental implants that can dramatically boost your confidence and quality of life. Whether you’re looking to correct discoloration, repair damaged teeth, or replace missing teeth entirely, our cosmetic solutions deliver beautiful, natural-looking results that last.
- Porcelain Veneers Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to create a flawless smile. Veneers can correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns including discoloration, chips, gaps, misalignment, and worn enamel. The process typically requires just two visits, and the results can last 10-15 years with proper care. Our veneers are carefully crafted to match your natural teeth in color and translucency, ensuring a beautiful smile that looks completely natural.
- Dental Implants Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, providing a stable foundation that prevents bone loss and maintains your facial structure. Whether you're missing one tooth or several, dental implants restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health.
Our Services
Porcelain Veneers
First Lathrop Dental offers porcelain veneers as a transformative cosmetic solution to create the smile you’ve always wanted. Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells of dental porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can correct a variety of cosmetic concerns including discolored teeth, chips, cracks, gaps, minor misalignment, and worn enamel. The process typically requires just two visits—one for preparation and impressions, and another for placement. Our veneers are carefully designed to match the color, shape, and translucency of natural teeth, ensuring results that look beautiful and completely natural. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years, giving you a confident, radiant smile for years to come.
Teeth Whitening
Dental Bridges
Dental Crowns
At First Lathrop Dental, we provide personalized dental crown treatments to address various dental concerns. Dental crowns are custom-crafted dental restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth to enhance its strength, functionality, and aesthetics.
Dentures
A denture or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth Fillings
We are a mercury-free practice. However, many people still have silver/mercury fillings in their mouths from years past. These fillings are not particularly pleasing to the eye.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The patient who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.
Ozone Therapy
he scientific literature is vast in support of the effectiveness and safety of oxygen/ozone therapy. Ozone therapy was introduced in the early 1900’s in Europe and in the U.S. The medical community, especially in Europe has been using ozone for decades to speed up wound healing and to treat a variety of diseases.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are very effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth, dental sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic “coating” is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This effectively “seals” the deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel from plaque and acids.
