Dramatically or subtly transform your smile with veneers
Veneers are thin, durable shells that are permanently bonded to the front of your teeth. These shells are custom-crafted and can alter your teeth’s appearance by height, shape, alignment, color, and more.
Many people choose veneers because it can:
Close gaps between teeth
Hide cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
Whiten their smile
Create a more youthful appearance
Change tooth position without braces
Restore proper bite function
At our South Carolina dental office, we offer two types of veneers:
Porcelain veneers: These veneers are strong, smooth, and more stain resistant than your natural enamel. Dr. Griffin designs porcelain veneers specific to you so that they blend naturally with your facial characteristics and personality.
Prepless veneers: These veneers are very similar to porcelain veneers, but they are considered prepless because they don’t need reduction or “preparation” made to your natural tooth’s enamel. They are generally completed faster, painlessly, and without the need for drilling or shots. Prepless veneers are an excellent option if you need a subtle smile change.
The process for porcelain veneers is very straight forward. Watch Dr. Griffin explain the procedure in this quick video:
Get a new smile in one visit with same-day dental crowns
Dental crowns are a protective coat placed around a severely decayed or broken tooth. Crowns restore your tooth’s shape, strength, and function so you can get back to living your life.
The best part:
Thanks to modern technology, our office can fit you with a new crown in a day - saving you time and money.
With CEREC same-day crowns, we can take a 3D digital image of your tooth (no goopy impressions), have the machinery craft you a new crown right there, and then have Dr. Griffin place it in the same day.
Are you interested in this technology? Read our blog about CEREC technology.
If you have a tooth that lacks function or aesthetics, same-day dental crowns may be your solution! Not only can a crown improve your tooth’s function, but it can better your smile.
Replace your missing teeth with dental implants
Many people have a missing tooth, or multiple, whether it was due to decay, genetics, or accidents.
Dental implants are one of the best solutions to replacing missing teeth. They are permanent, durable, and are made to look and feel like your natural teeth.
Here are a few reasons why our patients choose dental implants to replace their missing teeth:
Conservative: Dental implants do not require any modification to surrounding healthy teeth.
Saves time: Dr. Griffin does the entire procedure and creates your new tooth from our office. You will only need to visit one office and one dentist.
Prevents bone loss: After you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone tissue begins to deteriorate, which can lead to further loss of teeth. Dental implants are placed in your jawbone and prevent bone loss.
Look younger: Missing teeth, and thus bone loss, can cause wrinkles and give you a “sunk-in” facial look. With dental implants, your facial muscle is supported, which helps to keep you looking young.
If you have a missing tooth, or multiple, dental implants may be your best option for restoring your bite function, beautiful smile, and youthful facial appearance.
Brighten your smile with teeth whitening
Over time, your teeth can lose their brilliance for a number of reasons: lifestyle habits, diet, or even medication. But with teeth whitening, you can reverse those effects and confidently smile more often.
Using our professional teeth whitening system with take-home trays, Dr. Griffin can remove even the deepest, most stubborn stains. Our whitening process is designed to minimize tooth sensitivity during the curing process, which people often experience with over-the-counter methods.
With our professional teeth whitening, you can expect to see results up to eight shades whiter!Teeth whitening in Columbia, SC is one of the fastest and easiest ways to better your smile. This could be a great first step toward improving your smile or the final touch after other cosmetic treatments.
