You've heard the pitch before: "Dentists on a mission to elevate the dental experience." But what does that mean exactly? At Superior Smiles, we ditch fancy terminology in favor of authenticity, like a happier, healthier lifestyle. We know how daunting it can be to start the journey to healthier teeth, but we want you to know that you're not alone. Our team is here to support you in every step of the process, from initial consultation and planning to celebrating your brand-new smile.
Whether your toothbrush is manual or electric, ensure the bristles are as soft as a cloud! Okay, maybe that's too soft, but you get the idea. We don't want anything too firm because that can be abrasive for your teeth and gums. Put those soft bristles to work twice daily for two minutes, and you will be in great shape!
I'm not sure you'll like my answer, but flossing is pretty darn important. Flossing ensures no remnants of your favorite snacks are left to start cavities or irritate your gums. If you don't love regular floss, try some floss picks to get into the habit!
I hope you don't need to see me beyond your regular exams and maybe the occasional whitening service, but if you do, these are some of the things you should pay attention to:
Don't wait until you are in pain! If your smile doesn't make you feel like a million bucks, there's no time like the present to explore options that can restore your health and confidence.
At Superior Smiles, we emphasize preventative care and prioritize whole-person health because we know that your mouth truly affects your entire life. We work to provide our patients with exceptional care and a comfortable experience from start to finish. We believe you can live a superior lifestyle when you have more confidence, less pain, and better health.
We take pride in utilizing the latest technology at Superior Smiles to make your dental visit as comfortable as possible, including our state-of-the-art microetcher. The microetcher uses a stream of fine particles to gently remove decay or prepare a tooth for a filling, all without the noise, vibration, or discomfort associated with traditional drilling. It’s also great for cleaning away plaque and buildup in hard-to-reach areas. This technique is particularly popular among patients who are anxious about dental procedures or have sensitive teeth. With drill-less dentistry, you can enjoy a more comfortable and stress-free dental experience while still getting the care your smile needs!
At Superior Smiles, we offer sedation dentistry to help patients relax during dental procedures. It's a great option for those who experience anxiety, have a low pain threshold, or need extensive work done. Our sedation offerings range from minimal sedation (nitrous oxide) to deep sedation (receiving IV sedation). Sedation dentistry can make visits more comfortable, allowing you to get the care you need without stress or discomfort.
As the name implies in "minimally invasive surgery," minimally invasive dentistry uses techniques to alter your mouth as little as possible. We focus on saving natural tooth structure wherever we can and encourage patients to undergo treatment that does not require much grinding down or extracting teeth. You are born with the best teeth, so we do our utmost to keep your natural smile.

If you have healthy gums and teeth and need to repair broken tooth structures or simply want to enhance the look of your smile, you might be a good candidate for veneers. We encourage you to build a relationship with a trained cosmetic dentist to make the veneer design, prep, and placement a seamless and enjoyable experience.
If your teeth have deep stains that whitening does not seem to touch, composite veneers or veneers may be a good option. Other issues that can be solved with veneers are irregular tooth shapes, teeth spacing issues, gaps, tooth defects, or worn-down tooth structure.
When you come in for an appointment to get composite veneers, here's what you can expect:
Overall, the process is straightforward and usually can be completed in two to three visits. You’ll leave the office with a refreshed, beautiful smile!
When you come in for an appointment to get porcelain veneers, here's what you can expect:
The process of getting porcelain veneers typically requires two to four visits over a few weeks. By the end, you’ll have a durable, stunning smile that looks and feels natural!
