If you could change how your smile looks, would you? Most people would answer yes to that question, but it begs an additional two-fold query: how would you change it, and who could help you do it? Bring your smile goals to Michael C. Byars DDS, your cosmetic dentist in Liberty, MO. His knowledge, skills and true artistic eye combine to give patients teeth and gums that are more beautiful than they ever thought possible.
Beginning a Smile Makeover
Your smile makeover begins with a consultation with Dr. Byars. In keeping with the philosophy of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, you and Dr. Byars will consider:
- What you want to achieve
- What can realistically be achieved
- How you will arrive at that just right smile
In addition, starting a cosmetic smile makeover assumes your teeth are already healthy. Dr. Byars confirms that with an oral exam to look for decay, gum disease, bite, jaw joint function and condition of restorations, such as fillings and crowns. He also takes digital x-rays, other dental imaging and even photos to really see and understand what he is working with.
From there, he will discuss your goals, and this in itself is a skill that an experienced cosmetic dentist possesses. Dr. Byars can take your ideas, translate them into a workable treatment plan and then inform his team and outside dental lab precisely what he needs to create that new smile.
Cosmetic Dental Services
Aesthetic treatment plans may be as simple as whitening stained teeth or repairing small chips with cosmetic resin bonding. However, most makeovers include more than one kind of treatment, and patients can trust Dr. Byars expertise and artistic talents to meld them into a healthy, durable and stunning smile.
Among the many aesthetic services offered at Byars Dental are:
- Dental Crowns designed by your Liberty, MO dentist and fabricated in a trusted dental lab. Crowns cover teeth damaged by decay or injury, preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Dr. Byars crowns are made from durable gold (for back teeth), porcelain fused to metal or all-porcelain. Whatever material is chosen, count on a strong smile that looks great, too. Crowns truly combine the best of restorative and cosmetic treatments.
- Dental Implants in the 64158 area fill smile gaps with artificial teeth surgically placed into the jaw. Realistic in form and function, implants also combine great restorative and cosmetic dentistry. They may be placed singly, in multiples or used to support bridgework or dentures. Patients report that no one can tell implants are not their natural teeth.
- Porcelain Veneers are shell-like covers of fine ceramic bonded permanently to the frontside of teeth marred by chips, heavy stains or hairline cracks. Individually sculpted for best fit and appearance, veneers improve the “smile zone” in the front of the mouth.
- Professional Teeth Whitening brightens dull, yellowed enamel by up to 8 shades. Dr. Byar uses Opalescence Extra Boost whitening trays in the office, and sends the patient home with touch-up gel to keep teeth shining.
- Invisalign clear aligners provide orthodontic correction that is discreet, comfortable and easy to maintain. Not only do straight teeth look good, they are also healthier, being less prone to decay and gum disease. Invisalign melds great looks with great oral health.
- Tooth–colored Fillings replace the old-fashioned, dark metal fillings of yesteryear. They provide strong cavity repair and seamlessly match tooth enamel in texture and color.
