Cosmetic Dentistry
Who doesn’t want to look and feel their best? In today’s society, first impressions are so important in landing that dream job, catching the attention of someone special, and just starting a new beginning at any phase of your life. An ideal smile will instantly make you look younger, happier, and healthier. It’s not as difficult as you may think and often times can be accomplished in two simple appointments. We’ll carefully listen to your desires and together we’ll design the smile of your dreams.

Tooth-colored fillings
The latest advancements in dentistry have made those dark metal fillings out of date for a number of reasons. Metal fillings act as wedges and can cause teeth to fracture. Metal fillings also leak and allow bacteria to begin new cavities. Metal fillings contain mercury which is a toxic metal that can cause long-term health issues. Tooth-colored bonded fillings are stronger, safer, and a more aesthetic restoration. Preservation of the natural tooth structure is vital to longer lasting restorations.

Laser Dentistry
Do you have a “gummy smile”? Do your teeth appear short? We often discover a lot of beautiful hidden enamel covered by extra gum tissue. Heredity, certain high blood pressure medications, health conditions, and even poor home care in the case of orthodontics can cause a “gummy smile”. We use a gentle soft tissue laser that accurately sculpts the excess gum tissue. Healing is rapid and the results are amazing!

da Vinci Veneers (Porcelain Veneers) davinciveneers.com
da Vinci Veneers are ultra-thin beautiful shells of ceramic material, which are bonded to the front of your teeth. This procedure requires little or no anesthesia, minimal to no tooth preparation, and can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of your smile. da Vinci Veneers are placed to mask discolorations, to brighten teeth, and to improve your smile. Highly resistant to permanent staining from coffee and tea, the wafer-thin da Vinci Veneer can achieve a tenacious bond to the tooth, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing naturalness that is unsurpassed by other restorative options. For over two decades, the da Vinci family has been at the fore front of innovation in cosmetic dentistry and featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover. Quality is assured with a lifetime guarantee.

Crowns
Are you tired of the dark lines along the gums of your existing crowns? We offer porcelain crowns without the dark metal lining that allow for light to pass through giving the crowns a most natural appearance. Our non-metal crowns look so natural and life-like that people will only notice how wonderful your smile is. Upgrading your old crowns for new ones will enhance your smile and make you feel and look better!

CEREC CAD/CAM CerecOnline.com
Is the magnificent system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. With CEREC at your dentist’s side, you can be in and out in a single visit with a permanent, all ceramic crown, onlay, or inlay! For you, the patient, this means fewer appointments, no impressions, no temporaries, less injections, and less time out of your hectic schedule for dental care. CEREC dentistry allows Dr. Im to preserve sound tooth structure for long lasting ceramic restorations.

TMJ/TMD Treatment
Do you suffer from headaches, TMJ pain, TMJ noise, limited opening, ear congestion, facial pain , jaw clenching, teeth grinding, sensitive teeth, dizziness, difficulty swallowing, ringing in the ears, neck, shoulder or back pain? What most people do not understand is the intimate relationship between the bite and how it affects the rest of the body. A misalignment in the bite can trigger these symptoms and as long as the bite remains unbalanced, these signs and symptoms will persist and worsen. Join the hundreds of patients like yourself who are experiencing life changing results and discover what Neuromuscular dentistry can do for you.

Teeth Whitening Zoomnow.com
The first whitening system we offer is the Nite White take home whitening with custom trays. We take accurate impressions of the upper and lower teeth and fabricate the most comfortable, intimately fitting custom whitening trays that will hold the gel in place while you sleep at night. Unlike other trays that you may have tried and found ill-fitting or ineffective, our custom trays hold and seal the gel in place to prevent leakage onto the gum tissue and into the mouth. Incredible results can be achieved in as quick as 14 days of consistent whitening.
We offer ZOOM! In office whitening which requires a 2 hour appointment to achieve 8 – 12 shades lighter results. We carefully and gently place barrier materials over the gums and lips to protect them from the gels and the light during the whitening process. We then administer 3 fifteen minute sessions of whitening with the patented ZOOM! Advanced light. Instructions to maintain the whiter results are given along with custom whitening trays for later touch ups. The results are incredible! You’ll dazzle everyone with your whiter smile!

Orthodontics
Is the branch of dental care that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities using corrective devices, such as braces. Orthodontic treatment corrects the alignment of the teeth, jaws and lips and prevents physical health problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, bone destruction and chewing and digestive difficulties. Orthodontic treatment results in improved self-esteem, health benefits and a gorgeous smile! We offer Invisalign, Damon Braces, and orthopedic appliances.

Bonding
Discolorations, gaps, or chipped teeth can easily be restored to their natural beauty through bonding procedures. Bonding is affordable and involves using a tooth colored composite material to reshape teeth, whiten, repair cracks and chips, and close spaces.

Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease or gum disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. It is a serious infection that, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and heart attacks. Here at Dr. Im’s practice, we offer non-surgical, gentle gum disease treatment and assist you in taking the best care of your teeth for a lifetime. Healthier gums, bones, and fresher breath can now be yours each and every day with our initial treatment and follow up care. Our dental hygienists are highly trained as ‘Periodontal Therapists’ and daily receive compliments from our patient family who exclaim, “That was the best and most thorough cleaning I’ve ever experienced!”

Neuromuscular Dentistry
Is the science of dentistry that embodies accepted scientific principles of patho-physiology, anatomy, form and function. NMD objectively evaluates the complex relationship between teeth, TMJ and the masticatory muscles in order to achieve an occlusion that is based on the optimal relationship between the mandible and the skull – Neuromuscular Occlusion. The goal of the Neuromuscular Dentist is to relax the muscles controlling jaw position to establish a true physiological rest position upon which treatment considerations are based.

Pure Power Mouthguards (sports dentistry)
In 90 percent of the population, the lower jaw is not in an optimal position, which causes facial muscles to be “unhappy” where they are situated. The PPM is based on the concepts of neuromuscular dentistry that incorporates the muscles, nerves, and supporting structures of the mouth, in order to improve jaw and muscle alignment. By helping to properly align and relax muscles in the face, the PPM mouthguard improves muscle recruitment and vertebrae alignment. The result: improved strength and balance. Whether you’re looking for better balance on the ice, a more fluid and powerful golf swing, a higher vertical leap on the basketball court or greater results from strength training, the PPM mouthguard can help you achieve your potential! Dr. Im is a certified PPM dentist!

Endodontics
Nothing is as good as your natural tooth. That’s why it is important to save your natural tooth when a root canal procedure is indicated. Endodontic treatment removes the injured pulp (nerve tissue) of your tooth and fills and seals the space. Your tooth is then restored and can function just like any other tooth for the rest of your life ensuring comfortable chewing and a natural appearance.
