Cosmetic Dentistry
Television programs such as Extreme Makeover are showing the public the dramatic
results that dentistry can provide to a person's overall appearance and how they feel about
themselves. Dentistry has made significant advancements in materials and
techniques which enable Dr. Anna Szmitko and Associates to provide dramatic improvements in the
smile of patients of all ages. Please
contact us to arrange for a consultation.
Crown & Bridge
Crown and bridge procedures permanently replace missing and worn tooth structure. We
use very strong and esthetic dental materials to restore teeth to natural function and
beauty. This technology has evolved so that in certain cases all-ceramic (porcelain)
materials are used. These metal-free restorations are not only very strong, but life-like
too. Bridges can replace missing teeth beautifully.
If you think that your smile may be
enhanced or improved with a crown and bridge procedure, please
contact us to arrange an exam and consultation.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a thin laminate of porcelain that is bonded to the tooth structure.
Veneers can correct crowding and staining and help uneven, discolored smiles look
beautiful again. Trusted since 1984 this technology has continuously developed since
then, and is now routinely used to brighten and whiten smiles that are misshapen,
crowded, chipped and gapped. If you think that your smile may be enhanced or
improved with porcelain veneers, please
contact us
to arrange for an examination and consultation.
Tooth Bonding
Tooth bonding is an immediate solution
for many dental problems. Bonding is
used for many structural as well
as cosmetic reasons, such as to:
- Repair decayed teeth and replace enamel
- Repair and replace fractured enamel
- Close gaps between teeth
- Lighten dark or stained teeth
- Repair worn enamel in areas with gum recession
Dental bonding has been used for over 25 years to correct many dental defects. You
could equate bonding to “dental sculpting.” High strength composite materials are used
to repair or replace damaged, decayed, missing and stained enamel. The enamel colored
composites are “light cured” (hardened by a visible light), bonded into place and then
highly polished. Predictable results in many uses of composite resins require precise
technique and the selection of appropriate specialized materials.
If you think that your smile may be enhanced or improved by tooth bonding, please
contact us to arrange for an examination and consultation.
White Fillings
White fillings (composite) offer many advantages over silver fillings such as:
- White fillings are alloy-free
- Bonding strengthens affected teeth
- Bonded composites match tooth enamel and brighten smiles
Over twenty years ago, tooth colored composites were just beginning to be used in the
posterior (rear) surfaces of the teeth that are used for chewing food. In the years since the
introduction of bonded white filling composites, there have been very strong
specialized materials designed to replace the use of silver amalgam in the mouth.
Dr. Szmitko and Associates use only the most advanced composite bonding materials and techniques to
achieve the most esthetic and predictable results.
If you think that your smile may be enhanced or improved with white fillings, please
contact us to arrange for a consultation.
Implant Dentistry
Implant Dentistry is a permanent solution for tooth loss.
Implants can:
- Replace one or more teeth
- Support dental bridges
- Securely support dentures
Dental implants have been used routinely for over 20 years to permanently replace
missing teeth. Implants integrate securely and predictably to bone, just like the root of a
tooth.
Dr. Szmitko and Associates restore and place implants in the practice to permanently replace missing teeth.
If you would like to know if you could be a candidate for this proven technology please

Root Canal
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy is probably the most maligned of
all dental procedures, but the reputation of pain typically associated with “having a root
canal” is really not deserved. For the majority of people who will undergo root canal
treatment the process itself will be no more involved then having a filling placed.
Root canal therapy is designed to correct disorders of the dental pulp – the soft tissue
inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.
Teeth with abscessed or infected nerves were once removed but today the natural tooth,
in a vast majority of cases, can be saved through modern endodontic procedures. Please
contact us for any
further questions.
Smile Whitening
Dr. Anna Szmitko and Associates use a safe whitening process that oxidizes only the dyes and stains
that accumulate on and within teeth over time. The process involves a convenient at
home treatment that can whiten and brighten the most stubborn stains and can last for
years. For those looking for immediate results
we recommend Zoom Advanced Power in office whitening.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation
If you're nervous about any aspect of dentistry, we can make your next visit a lot more comfortable with nitrous oxide.
Commonly referred to as laughing gas, it is an effective anesthetic with many benefits for patients.
This type of sedation dentistry is appropriate for those individuals who are dental phobic, people with
a sensitive gag reflex, and people who require surgery or are scheduled for extended and complex treatments.
Prior to administering any anesthesia we'll discuss your medical history with you and will ask questions such
as whether you or anyone in your family has had a difficulty with anesthetics, if you are pregnant, taking steroids,
or if you are on medication for high blood pressure.
If you're apprehensive about dental visits, the first step is to call. We can work with you to eliminate
the discomfort and fear that are often barriers to better oral health.
