Cosmetic Dentistry is Making Smiles More Beautiful in Castle Rock, WA

December 20, 2014

158554263Not many people are born with movie star smiles… not even movie stars. But you don’t have to be a Hollywood celeb to have a smile like one. Today, cosmetic dentistry offers many options to improve and enhance your smile. Dr. L. Blaine Kennington and his staff at Cowlitz River Dental in Castle Rock, WA, can take your smile from bland to beautiful with cosmetic dentistry.

Cosmetic Dentistry at Cowlitz River Dental

To help you have the smile you’ve always wanted, the following cosmetic dentistry services are some of the most popular ones we offer.

Teeth Whitening Whether you choose our in-office whitening system or our professional grade at-home system, you will be amazed at the results. For a whiter smile in about an hour, we recommend our in-office treatment. If you prefer to whiten at home on your own schedule, then our at-home treatment is for you.

Cosmetic Bonding If you have a tooth that is slightly chipped or cracked, cosmetic bonding is a fast and simple solution. Dr. Kennington applies a tooth-colored composite resin to the tooth and then molds the material to restore your damaged tooth’s shape.

Porcelain Veneers For teeth that are more severely damaged with chips, cracks or discoloration, there are porcelain veneers. These dental wonders are made of ultra-thin sheets of dental porcelain that are custom designed for your smile. Once cemented to your existing teeth, they will last for years with a little tender care.

Invisalign® If you would like to straighten your teeth, but don’t want to contend with the appearance of metal braces, there is Invisalign clear plastic aligners. Your custom aligners will be fabricated in the Invisalign lab according to Dr. Kennington’s treatment plan. You’ll wear the aligners according to plan and in about a year you’ll have the smile you’ve always wanted.

Family Dentistry: Start the New Year Off Right with a Visit to Cowlitz River Dental

December 10, 2014

170082992Have you started thinking about your resolutions for the New Year? Well, here’s one that will help every member of your family—schedule their dental checkups now! At the foundation of any good dental practice is family dentistry, which focuses on the all-important prevention of tooth decay and dental disease. At Cowlitz River Dental in Castle Rock, WA, Dr. L. Blaine Kennington and his staff will care for all of your family’s dental needs.

Family Dentistry for You and Yours

From children to teens to adults, Dr. Kennington builds healthy and beautiful smiles with preventive care like checkups and cleanings. In accordance with the American Dental Association, Dr. Kennington recommends scheduled checkups every six months for you and your family. At these intervals, we are able to not only maintain your oral health, but we can also spot problems before they begin to develop serious symptoms.

At a checkup, our dental hygienists will clean your teeth, remove plaque and tartar to help reduce your risk of gum disease, and take x-rays when necessary to spot imperceptible decay. We also perform an oral cancer screening and check for uneven tooth surfaces that may indicate nighttime teeth grinding, which can lead to the painful symptoms of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction.

For the youngest members of your family, Cowlitz River Dental offers the best in children’s dentistry. In addition to what is normally part of a dental checkup, we offer dental sealants and fluoride treatments for children. With dental sealants, we apply a thin coat of white plastic to the surface of your child’s molars to create a barrier between the teeth and bacteria-causing decay. Fluoride treatments strengthen the tooth’s enamel for added protection against cavities.
