Bleaching your teeth is one of the best ways to change the color of tooth enamel and whiten your smile. We use a tray-based teeth whitening system at our office that involves making an impression of your teeth on the first visit and providing you with a set of custom trays on your second visit. These trays are filled with prescription-strength whitening gel and should be worn for 60 minutes a day, for a few weeks, for best results. You’ll notice a gradual improvement in the color of your teeth as stains disappear.

Crowns help to strengthen the tooth by capping it and improving the appearance of the tooth structure. They may be used to top a dental implant, strengthen a tooth after root canal, and also to restore the tooth to its natural shape and size after extensive tooth decay or damage from gum disease.

Bridges are designed to fill the space between teeth by attaching a dental crown to adjacent teeth to restore the bite. If you have large gaps between your teeth after a tooth goes missing, you may be a good candidate for a bridge. Dental bridges offer many aesthetic advantages.

Dentures are an attractive option for many patients who want to enjoy a better quality of life as they get older and maintain their youthful look. Dr. Piorkowski has helped many older patients restore their smiles with this convenient tooth replacement solution.

Dentures are placed in the mouth after all remaining teeth have been extracted and the gum tissues have healed. They are designed to replicate the function and appearance of your natural teeth.

Fortunately, there is an alternative to wearing traditional metal braces. Dr. Piorkowski is an authorized provider of Invisalign®. For many patients, the Invisalign® treatment process can take less than a year to straighten your teeth.

Once Dr. Piorkowski decides you are a good candidate for Invisalign®, we create a 3D model of your future smile and create your aligner trays. You will receive a new set of trays every couple of weeks as the teeth start to shift into their new position.

If you are looking for a smile makeover or just want to enhance your smile, talk to us about Invisalign® and other cosmetic treatments that can improve your appearance.

Untreated gum disease can cause tooth loss and a host of other oral health problems. If you are at risk for periodontal disease or are noticing symptoms such as bleeding gums or loose teeth, you must get in touch with Dr. Edward Piorkowski immediately. Our doctor performs a number of periodontal care procedures that can prevent an infection in the mouth and keep your gums in great shape.

If Dr. Piorkowski detects an infection inside the tooth or you are experiencing chronic tooth pain, you may need to undergo a root canal. Many people are afraid of undergoing this procedure but it is a relatively simple procedure that is performed in-house under local anesthesia and nitrous oxide. Timely treatment could save your tooth because we can fill and restore the tooth with durable materials and stop the infection.

Did you know that it takes 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown? All that movement can lead to wrinkles in the skin. Dr. Piorkowski has been trained to use his high level dexterity and a sensitive touch to administer the botox injection. We can take care of those wrinkles if you’d like to try this procedure to upgrade your lifestyle.
