Crafting Your Confident Smile

Aesthetic dentistry for a more confident you.

A beautiful smile can inspire confidence and transform how you feel about yourself. At Northwoods Family Dental, we believe that cosmetic dentistry is a partnership, and we establish a dental home where you can comfortably explore your aesthetic goals. We offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic services, from professional teeth whitening to complete smile makeovers.

Our unique approach combines artistry with advanced technology, like our Solea laser and digital impression systems, to create stunning, predictable results. We are here to help you achieve the healthy, radiant smile you’ve always wanted.

Teeth Whitening

Brighter Smiles, In-Office or At-Home

One of the quickest and most effective ways to enhance your smile is with professional teeth whitening. We offer two convenient options to fit your lifestyle: a powerful in-office treatment for rapid, dramatic results, and custom take-home whitening trays for you to use at your convenience. For our take-home kits, we use digital impressions to create trays that fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring even whitening and protecting your gums from irritation.

Both options deliver professional-strength results that are far superior to over-the-counter products, lifting deep stains and leaving you with a brilliantly radiant smile.

Porcelain Veneers

The Secret to a Flawless, Natural Look

Porcelain veneers are a premier cosmetic solution for creating a stunning and flawless smile. A veneer is an ultra-thin shell of handcrafted porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. This versatile treatment can completely transform your smile by correcting a wide range of imperfections, including chips, cracks, gaps, minor misalignment, and deep discoloration that whitening cannot resolve.

Each veneer is custom-designed to match the desired shape, size, and color, resulting in a durable and seamless smile that looks both beautiful and completely natural. They are an excellent option for achieving a dramatic smile transformation.

Why Cosmetic Dentistry?

Boost Your Self-Confidence

A smile you love to share can dramatically improve your self-esteem. Cosmetic dentistry can correct aesthetic concerns, empowering you to feel more confident in your personal and professional life.

Enhance Your Appearance

Our cosmetic services can brighten, align, and perfect your teeth, creating a more harmonious and youthful appearance. These treatments are designed to enhance your natural beauty and complement your facial features.

Improve Oral Health

Many cosmetic treatments also provide functional benefits. For example, clear aligners make teeth easier to clean, while crowns strengthen them, contributing to better long-term oral health and hygiene.

Achieve Long-Lasting Results

We use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure your cosmetic enhancements are durable. With proper care, your veneers, crowns, and other restorations can provide beautiful, long-lasting results.

Enjoy Customized Care

Every cosmetic treatment plan, especially a full smile makeover, is completely customized to your unique goals and facial aesthetics, ensuring a final result that is tailored specifically to you.

Utilize Advanced Technology

We use cutting-edge tools, like the Solea laser for gum contouring and vPro for faster clear aligner treatment, providing more comfortable procedures and more efficient results.

Botox

Smooth Fine Lines and Enhance Smiles

Our practice offers advanced facial aesthetic treatments with Botox, using Daxxify for effective, long-lasting results. As a highly trained provider, Dr. Koehn can use this treatment for a variety of cosmetic enhancements. These include smoothing fine lines, relaxing mid-face muscles to reduce a gummy smile, slimming a wide jawline for a more balanced facial profile, and improving the appearance of an upside-down smile at rest. This service allows us to take a whole-person approach to your appearance, enhancing both your smile and surrounding facial features for a harmonious result.

Microneedling

Rejuvenate Your Skin, Enhance Your Smile

As part of our commitment to whole-person care, we offer microneedling, a professional med spa procedure designed to rejuvenate your skin. Dr. Koehn is specially trained in percutaneous collagen induction therapy, a technique that uses fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and create a healthier, more youthful glow. To achieve the desired results, a series of three to five monthly or biweekly treatments is typically recommended.

Crowns

Beauty and Strength in a Single Visit

While dental crowns are known for restoring damaged teeth, they also play a key role in cosmetic dentistry by perfecting a smile’s appearance. A crown can be used to cover a misshapen or severely discolored tooth, creating a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing look. We use CEREC technology to design and mill beautiful, high-quality crowns from zirconia or e.max material right in our office, often in a single visit. This allows us to create a restoration that not only functions perfectly, but also blends flawlessly with your surrounding teeth for a beautiful result.

Inlays and Onlays

Durable, Custom-Fitted Restorations

Inlays and onlays are conservative, tooth-colored restorations used to repair teeth that have damage that is too extensive for a simple filling, but not severe enough to require a full dental crown. An inlay is custom-made to fit within the cusps (or points) of a tooth, while an onlay is slightly larger and is designed to cover one or more of the cusps. Fabricated from durable, natural-looking materials, inlays and onlays are an excellent way to restore the strength and integrity of a tooth while preserving as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible.

Gum Contouring

Reshape Your Gums, Perfect Your Smile

The balance between your teeth and gums is essential for a beautiful smile. If you feel your smile is overly gummy or your gumline is uneven, laser gum contouring can create a more harmonious and aesthetic appearance. Our practice uses a Solea dental laser for this procedure, which allows for precise and minimally invasive reshaping of the gum tissue. The laser technology promotes self-healing and minimizes discomfort, making it easier than ever to achieve a perfectly framed smile where your teeth are the main focus.

Clear Aligners

Straighten Your Teeth Discreetly and Efficiently

For patients wanting to straighten their teeth without traditional braces, we offer modern clear aligners. This system uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic trays to gradually shift your teeth into their proper position. To enhance the treatment process, we use a vPro device, an innovative tool that helps with quicker treatment times and stimulates healthy bone growth during tooth movement.

This advanced approach to orthodontics allows you to achieve a beautifully straight smile discreetly and comfortably, with the added benefit of innovative technology to optimize your results.

Smile Makeovers

A Comprehensive Plan for Your Dream Smile

A smile makeover is the ultimate cosmetic dentistry experience, designed to completely transform your smile into one you love. This is not a single procedure, but rather a comprehensive and customized combination of our cosmetic services tailored to your unique aesthetic goals. Your makeover may include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, crowns, gum contouring, or any other treatment needed to achieve the desired result.

The process begins with an in-depth consultation where we listen to your goals and design a step-by-step plan to create your dream smile from start to finish.

Frequently Asked

Questions

A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan that combines several cosmetic dentistry procedures to achieve your ideal smile. The process is fully customized and may include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, crowns, or gum contouring. It begins with a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals, followed by a personalized plan to create a beautiful, healthy, and natural-looking smile.

When used cosmetically, Botox (we use Daxxify) works by relaxing specific facial muscles. To reduce a gummy smile, it is used to relax the muscles that lift your upper lip too high. This allows the lip to rest in a lower position, covering more of the gum tissue when you smile, for a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Porcelain veneers and crowns are considered long-term restorations and are bonded securely to your teeth. While they are extremely durable, they may need to be replaced after many years. They do not require special care beyond excellent oral hygiene. Consistent brushing, flossing, and attending regular dental checkups are essential to maintaining their appearance and longevity.

Convenient and Simple Payment Options

We believe that managing the financial aspects of your care should be as simple and stress-free as possible. Our office provides several convenient payment options to suit your needs. We accept all major credit cards and CareCredit financing to help you fit your treatment into your budget.

For patients with dental coverage, we will gladly bill your insurance provider to ensure you receive your maximum benefits. We also offer an in-house dental membership plan, which is an excellent option for patients without insurance.
