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.

Straighten Your Teeth Inconspicuously with Invisalign from Cowlitz River Dental

November 20, 2014

177241677Braces are wonderful. A bit of metal and a couple of wires and voila! Straight teeth. But what if you’re not at a stage of life when metal braces are practical? Then the solution is Invisalign® clear braces. With Invisalign, only you and Dr. L. Blaine Kennington at Cowlitz River Dental in Castle Rock, WA, will know that you have braces.

Invisalign clear braces, or aligners, are made of clear plastic that is BPA-free. Aside from being barely noticeable by you or anyone who sees you, they are also more comfortable than metal braces, which can scrape your cheeks and irritate your gums.

When you see Dr. Kennington for Invisalign clear braces, he’ll first conduct a thorough assessment of your oral health. Then, with the aid of x-rays, pictures and impressions of your teeth, he’ll develop a treatment plan. This plan allows you to see how your teeth will gradually move into position and what your finished smile will look like. In addition, the treatment plan acts as a blueprint for the Invisalign lab to fabricate your custom designed aligners.

Your aligners come as a series of sets for your upper and lower arches. You’ll wear each set in the series for about two weeks, and then move on to the next set. Invisalign aligners should be worn for the better part of everyday except for when you eat or need to brush and floss. Dr. Kennington will monitor your progress with regular check-ups. As you move through the sets, you’ll actually be able to see your teeth shift into place. In the end, you’ll have a straight and healthy smile that you’ll want the world to see!

At Cowlitz River Dental in Castle Rock, WA, Dr. L.

In-office teeth whitening is ideal for patients looking to transform their smile in a single visit. In as little as an hour, you’ll see years of deep, set-in stains lifted from your enamel, revealing the gorgeously white smile you’ve always wanted. For patients who would prefer to whiten at home, we’ll create a set of custom teeth whitening trays that precisely fit your unique dentition. This helps ensure that the special whitening formula we provide effectively and evenly brightens each and every tooth. You’ll love your results, smiling confidently all summer long and throughout the year.

Invisalign Clear Braces for a Seamlessly Beautiful Smile from Dr. L. Blaine Kennington

May 20, 2014

Shutterstock InvisalignWhen you look in the mirror and consider your smile, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Are you pleased with your appearance of your teeth, or do you wonder how you might look with a straighter, more balanced smile? At Cowlitz River Dental in Castle Rock, WA, Dr. L. Blaine Kennington and his team offer an all-encompassing variety of cosmetic dentistry services to help you achieve the smile of your dreams, including the revolutionary orthodontic treatment known as Invisalign.

How Can Invisalign Help Me?

Not everyone is born with the natural components of a straight, healthy smile. Teeth may grow too closely together, too far apart, and may even overlap in ways that are detrimental to your oral health. Fortunately, today’s advanced orthodontic technology makes it possible to correct these and other common alignment problems, often without the need for metal braces. For adults and teens who are looking to maintain a polished image while they undergo treatment, Invisalign offers a clear advantage.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign utilizes clear acrylic material that is exceptionally comfortable and virtually invisible. There’s no longer any of the hassle or discomfort associated with metal brackets and wires, both of which can irritate the inner cheeks and lips. Brushing and flossing are made far easier as well, as your Invisalign clear aligners can be quickly removed and replaced after eating and daily oral hygiene activities. In as little as 12 to 18 months, you could be enjoying a beautifully transformed smile that you’re proud to show off to the world.

Straighter Teeth, Healthier Smile

Because properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, people with straighter smiles tend to suffer from less tooth decay and periodontal disease. If you’d like to experience the full benefits of straighter teeth for yourself, we invite you to contact our office in Castle Rock, WA today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Kennington. We look forward to sitting down with you to discuss your cosmetic dentistry goals, as well as to answer any questions you may have. Our conveniently located office also serves families from throughout the surrounding areas, including Longview, Kelso, Lewis County, and beyond.
