Dr. Lee and staff offer a full array of cosmetic dental treatments that can create a new and beautiful smile.


Cosmetic Imaging - Complimentary Consultation!
Are your curious as to how cosmetic dentistry techniques can change the appearance of your smile and face? Remove the guesswork by having Dr. Lee provide a free cosmetic imaging of your smile.

For a limited time, Dr. Lee is offering a free cosmetic imaging evaluation to show patients how they could look with cosmetic dentistry treatments. You can now see how professional whitening, veneers, bonding and crowns can help to enhance your smile through digital imaging. With cosmetic imaging showing you the possibilities for your smile, you can make the decision on what treatments make the most sense for your appearance.

Here are samples to show how cosmetic imaging can reveal how your smile could look:

Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers, dental porcelain laminates, are custom porcelain covers for your teeth that can help brighten front teeth that have permanent stains or discoloration that can't be whitened. Veneers are a long term solution to changing the color of your teeth, to correct small gaps between the teeth, straighten teeth and to restore broken, chipped or fractured teeth. Veneers are natural looking and strong.

Dr Lee may use dental veneers for:
  • Teeth that are discolored
  • Teeth that are worn down
  • Teeth that are chipped or broken
  • Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped
  • Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)
Below are samples of how porcelain veneers can help your smile.

Invisalign
Now you can straighten your teeth without braces!

Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten your teeth, without braces. It works through a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that by using a series of clear removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth right before your eyes. Change them about every 2 weeks, your teeth will move-little by little, week by week-until they have moved to the final position Dr. Aunon has prescribed.

Invisalign is an invisible solution. So you won't draw undue attention to your mouth while in treatment. In fact, virtually no one will know you're wearing them unless you tell. Comfortable to wear, our aligners are also removable so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual.

Professional Teeth Whitening
Do you want a whiter smile? Has your smile become discolored or stained after years of consumption of staining substances, such as coffee or wine? Professional whitening treatments from Dr. Lee can restore your white smile with a carefully monitored tooth whitening and brightening system especially for you. It's fast, easy and painless. Professional teeth whitening is a bleaching process that reverses discolorations of enamel (the outside layer of tooth structure). The system uses a mild solution retained in a custom fitted appliance that slips over your teeth.

Neuromuscular Dentistry
Dr. Lee specializes in Neuromuscular Dentistry which serves to correct the bite and realign the jaw. Our treatment determines the optimal position of the jaw by measuring the relaxed position of the head and neck muscles, and then repositions the jaw to achieve those exact measurements.

To put it simply, neuromuscular dentistry places the jaw into its optimal position, relieving the symptoms associated with TMJ. While traditional dentistry evaluates primarily the teeth, bones, and gums, neuromuscular dentistry works with the hard tissues and the soft tissues, muscles and nerves. Neuromuscular dentists understand that your hard and soft tissues have a complex relationship and work to make that relationship a harmonious one. Neuromuscular dentists understand the necessity for including the power source (muscles) and the controls (nerves) which create the movement, pressures, and function of the mouth.

When the jaw is misaligned, both the hard and soft tissues are affected and many physiological problems can result, such as headaches, jaw pain, neck and shoulder pain, tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, and clicking or popping sounds in the jaw joint.

Neuromuscular dentists use state-of-the-art technology to determine if your symptoms are caused by malocclusion and if so, what your optimal jaw position is. Dr. Lee uses computerized jaw tracking instruments to record jaw movement, resting position, and path of closure. Electromyography is used to measure your jaw's muscle function in both its stressed and relaxed positions, and will also measure the jaw-to-skull relationship to see if there is a structural imbalance. Sonography is used to record jaw joint sounds to detect any abnormalities. Additionally, x-rays of the jaw may be taken to help evaluate the condition and positioning of the joint.

Tooth Colored (Amalgam-free) Fillings
Tooth colored fillings can now restore your teeth to their original white. Dr Lee can replace old "Mercury-Silver" fillings, and replace them with tooth colored, natural looking fillings glued in with adhesive dentistry, which bonds your tooth back together. Your teeth will look white and beautiful.

In most cases, white or tooth colored fillings are a better restoration than silver fillings for the following reasons:
  • White fillings bond to tooth structure thereby adding strength to the tooth. Silver fillings simply fill a hole and don't add ant strength.
  • The tooth preparation (drilling) for a white filling can be more conservative. They are bonded to the tooth. Once the decay is removed, very little additional preparation is needed. Silver fillings are not bonded, and therefore need undercuts, slots, grooves, and/or pins to stay in place.
  • The most obvious advantage is appearance. White fillings are mostly invisible; they blend with the tooth. Silver fillings become black as they age, can stain the tooth, and create a grey shadow visible through the sides of the tooth.
