Cosmetic dentistry includes a variety of services performed to enhance the look of your teeth.

From crowns, veneers, bridges, and implants to inlays, onlays, white filling and different bleaching methods, we are ready to make your smile brighter!

Dental lasers are a fantastic technology that can improve many issues that people have with their mouths and teeth.  The soft tissue laser can help with desensitizing teeth that are sensitive to cold and hot, often with one treatment.  If you suffer from canker sores, the soft tissue laser can treat canker sores by reducing their size and duration. The dental laser can help during cleanings by reducing bacteria and is also used to reduce soft tissue around the teeth when it is uncomfortable.

Dental implants are a natural looking way to replace one or more missing teeth in your smile. A titanium post or “root replacement” is implanted into the jawbone where the root of the missing tooth used to be. A bone graft may or may not have to take place beforehand. After the post is placed and healed, the single crown (or even a bridge) is attached to the post, and the new tooth (or teeth) look and perform just like natural teeth. Implants are also used to hold dentures in place more effectively that adhesives.

Dentures and partials have vastly improved over time. Dentures replace all of the teeth for the upper or lower (or both) jaws. Partials refer to a denture-like structure that “fills in” spaces where one or more teeth are missing. They are anchored to existing teeth. Modern dentures and partials look and perform like natural teeth, especially when held in with implants. If you feel like dentures or partials would be a good fit for you, we provide denture and partial services here at our Idaho Falls location.

You don’t schedule toothaches. They can come on at any time, often when most dental offices are closed. Our Rexburg office has emergency dental services for exactly these times. We offer daily hours from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. so that our patients can see us before and well after school and work hours. But if you are experiencing pain after our normal hours, you can call our emergency hours number and within 30 minutes or less we can get you an emergency appointment until 10 p.m.

Tooth extractions are a very common procedure in dental offices.  For varying reasons, people sometimes need to have one or more teeth extracted or “pulled”.  Sometimes the tooth is too damaged to be restored, sometimes teeth must be removed to create space in the mouth, sometimes teeth (like wisdom teeth) become impacted and need to be removed.  Most tooth extractions are fairly easy and heal well. Sometimes a tooth may be impacted or have other issues and needs to be surgically removed. We can perform these dental surgeries but if your particular case needs extra attention, we can refer you to a trusted oral surgeon.

X-rays are an accurate way for your dentist to be able to see “hidden” or out of sight decay that may not be readily visible at first glance, such as between teeth or at the gumline.  They are also used to check the progress of root canals and to get a view of teeth that have not erupted to the surface yet. Dental x-rays at our Rexburg office can be intraoral (taken inside of the mouth), digital panoramic (which takes an x-ray image of both jaws and all teeth), and 3D digital x-rays, (which are like panorama x-rays, but include the extra areas like the jawbones and surrounding tissue).  Your dental care team will recommend the type of x-rays that will be best for the services you are receiving.
