Cosmetic Dentistry

Smile With Complete Confidence

When you don’t feel confident about your smile, you can experience diminished self-confidence and even impact your everyday life.

If you find that you avoid your natural smile, Total Dental Care can help. We offer a range of cosmetic options to address concerns like tooth size, shape, spacing, and color.

Teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, crowns, and bonding are just a few of the options available to transform your smile.

If you have complex dental needs, we can combine multiple cosmetic procedures for a life-changing complete smile makeover.

Dental Implants

Solutions For Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can impact self-confidence, limit the food you can eat, and even lead to bone loss.

Dental implants are the perfect solution to fill the gap, whether you are missing one tooth or several.

Our implants are color-matched to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, giving you back complete confidence in your smile!

Dental Crowns

Restore Broken Teeth Quickly

When a tooth breaks or you need a root canal, the solution is typically a porcelain crown. Crowns cover the entire tooth, providing a stable surface for biting and chewing.

While you wait for your crown to come in, you’ll find our temporaries are so lifelike that nobody will even know you’re waiting on the final restoration.

Ronald Smith

Great job cleaning my teeth today. Thank you.

Imperfectly Perfect

Best ever. Highly recommend!

Tiffany Duhs

I wear a partial. Dr Dickey is coming in on his day off to deliver my new partial! That's personal care. Love how safe and free from pain I feel at Total Dental Care. I know I am not going to be hurt. I had fun with Dr Dickey during my crown preparation. We listened to music. Doc sang and danced to 80s alternative music to make me feel more comfortable! (I'm not afraid to go to the dentist anymore!) I almost look forward to visiting the dentist because of Dr Dickey and his fabulous, fun staff!!
