Cosmetic Dental Care:

Your Pathway to a Beautiful Smile

At Carl P. Prota DMD Family Dentistry, we understand the importance of a confident smile. We believe that a beautiful smile not only enhances your appearance but also boosts your self-esteem and overall well-being.

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized branch of dental care that focuses on improving the aesthetics of your smile. It encompasses a range of procedures designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall facial structure. Our team of experienced professionals combines artistry with the latest advancements in dental technology to deliver outstanding results.

Basic Cosmetic Services

Dental bonding is a simple and cost-effective procedure to correct minor dental flaws. It involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the affected tooth and then shaping and polishing it to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Dental bonding can be used to repair chips, cracks, gaps, and even improve the shape and size of teeth.

Tooth-Colored Bonding

Over the years, teeth can naturally become stained or discolored due to different factors like getting older, smoking, or eating and drinking certain things. Our professional teeth whitening treatments can effectively restore the natural whiteness of your teeth, giving you a brighter, more youthful smile.

  • Dental Veneers

    Dental veneers are thin, custom-made zirconia shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can correct a wide range of cosmetic imperfections, such as chips, cracks, stains, or gaps between teeth. Veneers are an excellent option for achieving a flawless, natural-looking smile.

  • Dental Implants

    Missing teeth not only impact your oral health and functionality but also often affects your confidence in your smile. Implants involve the gentle placement of a titanium post into the bone, acting as an artificial tooth root. The implant fuses with the bone, providing a stable foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or denture to replace the missing tooth or teeth.

  • Clear Aligners

    If you have crooked or misaligned teeth but are hesitant about traditional braces, SmartMoves (our clear aligners) might be the ideal solution for you. SmartMoves uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into alignment for ultimate aesthetics and function. It offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment, allowing you to achieve a straighter smile without the hassle of metal brackets and wires.

These are just a few examples of the cosmetic dentistry procedures we offer to transform your smile. During your consultation, we will carefully evaluate your dental health, understand your goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you.

What our patients have to say…

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


    I am having a new implant done by Dr. Prota. I was very satisfied with the first stage which involved implanting the post and getting ready for the placement of the new crown in a few months. The experience was painless, Dr. Prota carefully explained the procedure and it was easy. I highly recommend Dr. Prota and his staff.

    I love Dr. Prota. He is the best and makes you feel so comfortable. He has the best updated equipment. New Technology. From new fillings without those old silver fillings. One side of my mouth looks like I never had fillings at all. I will be going through extensive treatment with him over time and can't wait to smile without hiding my teeth. Thank you Dr. Prota!

    I love coming to see Dr Prota and staff. As anxious as I get going to the dentist they make everything so much better. Couldn’t ask for a better dentist and a better staff!

    Been going to Dr. Prota since he started his practice and have never thought of going anywhere else. He and his entire staff treat each patient like family and I always know no matter what the procedure (from a simple cleaning to the most complicated) I am confident that the outcome will be nothing short of dental perfection. No one loves going to the dentist, but going to Dr. Prota's practice leaves a lot of anxiety behind.

    I am writing this review on behalf of my elderly mother Luz who just had an amazing experience at the dentist today. The dentist and his staff are extremely professional, friendly, and genuinely caring. We also noticed how patient they are in not trying to rush through the process. To conclude this review we were impressed with how clean the facility was.

    I look forward to my cleanings with Angie. There is nothing like that feeling of completely clean teeth! This practice goes above and beyond to keep us safe. Angie is thorough, yet gentle. And we catch up with everything. I leave with a big smile under the mask.

    Best Dental Service ever.... Everyone is very pleasant and efficient. Dr. Prota is very nice and honest. He does not suggest work to be done when it is not necessary. Thank you Dr. Prota and Staff.

    I am a frequent visitor to the dentist. Mother nature skipped on giving me a good set of teeth so there is always something going on. With Dr. Prota, I always know what is going on, what the plan is to fix it, and how much it will cost. I have been a patient here for close to 20 years and have no plans on changing my dentist any time, even though I drive 45 minutes each way to see him.

    Being disabled, it is hard for me to get to medical offices. Dr. Prota and his staff are the best. They treat me like a friend and family. They make sure I can get into the room, am comfortable and take special precautions to insure my safety as I know they do with each and every patient. From a simple cleaning and exam to the most complex dental procedures, I am confident that I am receiving the best care and my outcome will be nothing short of perfection. They are the best.
