Though it is extremely unfair, we are often judged (and misjudged) by our appearance. Even if a person is impeccably dressed and groomed, a missing front tooth detracts from the overall pleasing impression.

Here is a personal story from a woman who lost a tooth:

I lost my job and along with it my dental insurance, then a month later, one of my front teeth. It has been very hard to find work…. and I know the missing tooth has cost me several jobs.”

A missing tooth can be a big deal.

Dental implants not only restore oral health, they restore self-confidence. Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. Studies have shown that after more than 20 years, the vast majority of dental implants placed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons continue to function at peak performance. If properly cared for, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Dental implants are one of the procedures we routinely perform at Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry to help our Boulder clients regain the beautiful smile they once had. Not all cosmetic dental procedures are as extreme as teeth implants. There are many minimally-invasive remedies for unattractive smiles.

Porcelain veneers instantly provide a perfect, gleaming tooth surface for Boulder clients with broken or discolored teeth. Tooth whitening is a quick and affordable dentistry procedure in Longmont that achieves dramatic results without requiring the removal of any tooth structure. Call Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry at 720-862-3630 for more information about smile design and restorative dentistry.

This is a great time for Boulder men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry in Lafayette. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a Longmont wedding, Louisville party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

Broomfield teeth bleaching can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our Lafayette cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our Louisville whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that Lafayette tooth whitening dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Boulder tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

Broomfield tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth bleaching in Lafayette is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.

How do celebrities obtain brilliant white smiles always ready for the red carpet or a close-up? Do they avoid coffee? Not likely. Every star-watching magazine is full of pictures of famous people holding Starbucks cups. Do they avoid tobacco? Some probably do, but many actors and fashion models with dazzling white smiles are smokers.

Very few people (famous and non-famous alike) with perfect teeth were born with them. (…Sure, no one is born with teeth, but you know what I mean.) Celebrities have perfect smiles because they have undergone cosmetic dentistry.

Guess what? You can also have a smile like a supermodel or television news anchor because Dr. Gordon West at Gordon West DDS has as much experience and training in advanced cosmetic dentistry as any Hollywood cosmetic dentist.

Dr. West has been providing smile makeovers for Lafayette and Boulder, CO dental clients for years. Tooth whitening is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure in the Lafayette area. Tooth bleaching quickly perks up your teeth and makes you feel like smiling all the time!

Porcelain veneers are used often in Longmont and Boulder cosmetic dental offices because they correct myriad problems. Veneers remedy misshapen teeth, cracks and chips, and discolored teeth. Teeth that have been worn down extensively can also be repaired with veneers. Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer is minimally invasive. The latest veneers do not require the removal of healthy enamel. Another plus: veneers are usually less expensive than complete crowns!

Tooth bleaching and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Gordon West DDS. Schedule a Lafayette cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 720-862-3630. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

We look forward to helping you achieve a celebrity smile.

The American Dental Association offers some welcome advice for choosing a dentist in Lafayette. We have already talked about how word of mouth is an important factor in how many people find a dentist. Here are some things you should look for in an Lafayette dentist:

Location is always a factor when choosing a dentist in Lafayette. If you live in the Lafayette Colorado area, there are many options, and most Lafayette locations are not too far out of the way. While location plays an important role in convenience, many people are willing to drive a little farther for a better experience with their Lafayette dentist.

Relationship is a strong factor. Your Lafayette dentist should be approachable, and should make you feel comfortable when you are in the dentist chair. After all, your Lafayette dentist will be working very close with you to help you achieve a high level of oral hygiene; you most certainly will want to have a good, professional, comfortable relationship with your Lafayette dentist and the dental office staff.

Specialty is another important factor in choosing a dentist in Lafayette. Some dentists specialize in cosmetic dentistry. Others specialize in implant dentistry with dental implants. Depending on your need, you may select a local Lafayette dentist who can solve your immediate concern. Bare in mind, however, that it is good to have a general dentist who can maintain your dental history and work with you to through the years.

If you are looking for a dentist in Lafayette, please come by and speak with me. I can address your interest in any of these critical areas, and will be happy to introduce you to Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry.

I look forward to meeting you.

What may not be as obvious are the advances in techniques, tools and materials. Top dentists now use digital computer imaging which is safer than traditional x-rays. Dental technicians can store, retrieve and transmit digital images much easier than was possible with traditional x-ray film.

The use of lasers has also changed the face of dentistry. Laser surgery requires less anesthesia, minimizes swelling, and protects surrounding tissue. Boulder family dentists use lasers for detecting and treating cavities and dental technicians use them for the curing of restorative materials.

Another exciting development in cosmetic dentistry is the CAD-CAM technology that allows cosmetic dentists to perform restorations in a single visit. The types of procedures that can be completed in one visit include crowns, fillings, inlays, onlays and veneers.
