Create a Radiant Smile with Porcelain Veneers from Dr. Rodgers

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry,Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 9:33 pm

First impressions are powerful. And because your teeth are one of the first things anyone will notice about you, a dazzling smile can lead others to view you as more successful, attractive, and confident.

But not everyone has exactly the smile they’ve dreamed of.

If yours is worn down, chipped, cracked, stained, or misaligned, Dr. Rodgers can help you achieve a more radiant look with porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers are thin and made of high quality materials. They’re bonded to the front of teeth and designed to blend in perfectly with the rest of your smile, as well as the rest of your appearance. What’s more, with attentive care, porcelain veneers can last for years to come.

During your first appointment at our Dunwoody dental office, Dr. Rodgers will talk with you about porcelain veneers and begin planning your treatment. Your appointment will end with a set of temporary veneers being applied to your teeth. Then, when your permanent veneers are ready, you’ll just need to come back to our Dunwoody office to have them placed.

If you’d like to know more about porcelain veneers, call our Dunwoody dental office to schedule a consultation visit with Dr. Rodgers. We’d be happy to talk with you and answer any questions you might have. Our office serves patients from Dunwoody, Roswell, Norcross, and surrounding areas.

Give Yourself a Whiter Smile This January with Two Convenient Options from Dr. Rodgers

Filed under: Cosmetic Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 8:36 pm

Have you been looking for a way to give your smile a fresh start for 2012? One of the best ways is with teeth whitening from Dr. Rodgers’ Dunwoody dental office.

Maybe you’ve tried over-the-counter whitening products in the past but weren’t happy with the results. With professional teeth whitening from Dr. Rodgers, you can enjoy a smile up to 10 shades brighter. And what’s more, we offer two convenient options: in-office and at-home teeth whitening.

With in-office teeth whitening, patients can enjoy a whiter smile in less than one hour, thanks to our professional gel and whitening lamp. In-office whitening is an especially good option for patients who need whiter teeth in a hurry, perhaps for a wedding, a job interview, or another special occasion.

It is possible, though, for in-office whitening to result in sensitivity for some patients. That’s why Dr. Rodgers also offers at-home teeth whitening.

With at-home whitening, patients only need to wear a pair of take-home trays lined with whitening gel for the recommended period of time each day. At-home results take between one and two weeks to appear, and allow patients to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own home.

Which option is most right for you? If you need help deciding, schedule an appointment with our Dunwoody dental office today. Dr. Rodgers would be happy help patients from Dunwoody, Roswell, Norcross, and surrounding areas, discover which teeth whitening option will help you best achieve your desired smile.

Dr. Rodgers Is Simplifying Treatment for Patients with Laser Dentistry

Filed under: Dental Technology — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 6:24 pm

As medical technologies advances, doctors and patients alike are able to reap the benefits. For doctors, it becomes possible to complete complex procedures quicker and with more precision. For patients, the experience is more comfortable and requires a much shorter a recovery period.

It’s for exactly these reasons that Dr. Rodgers’ Dunwoody dental office uses laser dentistry. With laser dentistry, it’s possible for Dr. Rodgers to provide patients with comfortable, precise treatment that’s less invasive and requires a shorter recovery period.

How Can Laser Dentistry Help Me?

If you need advanced gum disease therapy or have been wondering how a gum re-contouring procedure can help you reveal a fuller, more beautiful smile, call our Dunwoody dental office today. Dr. Rodgers is devoted to helping patients from Dunwoody, Roswell, Norcross, and surrounding areas achieve their optimal oral health through advanced technologies like laser dentistry.

The beauty of laser dentistry is that it allows Dr. Rodgers to work with a gentle soft-tissue laser instead of a scalpel, resulting in a much less invasive procedure and a shorter recovery time afterwards. Get in touch with us today if you have any questions for Dr. Rodgers or would like to schedule your next appointment with our Dunwoody dental office.

Dr. Rodgers Restores Dunwoody Smiles with Custom-Made Crowns

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 4:08 pm

Teeth that are cracked, broken, or severely decayed are structurally comprised, which means that your smile itself is comprised. But your tooth and your smile alike can be restored thanks to something called a crown. By placing a crown over a damaged tooth (which is called capping), Dr. Rodgers can restore health, function, and appearance to a patient’s smile.

How the Crown Process Works

Dental Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, metal, and even a combination of the two. What kind you’ll receive when you come to our Dunwoody dental office depends on your needs. If you’ll be restoring a front tooth, Dr. Rodgers will likely recommend a crown made of porcelain, while patients who are restoring a back tooth may want to go with one made from metal or a porcelain-metal combination.

Placing a crown is a two-part process. In your first visit, Dr. Rodgers will prep your tooth by removing decay or any old fillings and then taking an impression of it.  Our dental lab will use this impression as they carefully construct your custom-made crown.

Once your dental crown is ready, you’ll come back to our office for a second visit. During this phase, all Dr. Rodgers will have to do is cap your comprised tooth and check your crown’s fit. When your crown is in place, your procedure will be done and you can return to your normal schedule with a fully restored smile.
