Franklin 
Do you think all those Hollywood types were born with beautiful smiles? No way—but they do know what a cosmetic dentist can do for their smiles. Your dentist in Tyler, Dr. Franklin-Pitts, can do the same for your smile, too. At the Franklin Dental Center, we offer a several different treatments to make your smile worthy of an Oscar Award!
Inlays and Onlays
There are several procedures that cross the boundary between restorative and cosmetic dentistry and having an inlay or onlay is one of them. Also called indirect fillings because they are made in the dental lab and then placed in your dentist’s office, inlays and onlays provide a solution when a filling is not enough to repair tooth decay. Both are made of composite resin so they blend seamlessly with your tooth. An inlay rests on top of the tooth’s surface while an onlay stretches over cusps and the sides of a tooth.
Composite Bonding
Do you have one chipped tooth that annoys you? If so, then consider composite bonding. This treatment also uses composite resin for a strong and aesthetically pleasing finish. Dr. Franklin-Pitts simply takes a small dab of composite resin and molds it to your tooth. Smoothing over the surface, the chip, small fracture or crack is concealed. Once hardened with a special curing light, the composite bonding treatment can last for many years.
Porcelain Veneers
Want to completely transform your smile in only two appointments with your cosmetic dentist in Tyler? Porcelain veneers are a very popular treatment that many patients choose to conceal teeth that have any number of imperfections. Whether you need one veneer to cover up a tooth that is permanently stained or you want to attach veneers to all of your smile teeth, Dr. Franklin-Pitts can help. At the first appointment, she’ll gently remove some enamel from your teeth in order to make room the veneers. Then, at the second appointment, your new veneers are adhesively bonded to the front side of your teeth, giving you a smile that looks natural and beautiful.
Teeth Whitening
If your teeth are in good shape structurally, but could stand to be a little brighter, we offer in-office teeth whitening with Zoom! This bleaching system uses a strong bleaching solution that penetrates the enamel and dentin layers of your teeth to remove stains caused by coffee, wine, berries, smoking, teeth grinding and the unavoidable aging process. In about an hour, you’ll have a smile that is several shades whiter.
We also have a take-home whitening program that is ideal if you want to whiten in privacy or if you need a touch-up after your in-office teeth whitening treatment.
