His cosmetic dental treatments offer the following benefits:

 

  • Fill in gaps between teeth
  • Change the shape, size, and alignment of teeth
  • Whiten the color of teeth
  • Replace missing teeth
  • Repair cracked, chipped, and decayed teeth

 

Porcelain Veneers


Traditional tooth veneers require preparation of the teeth, meaning the existing tooth enamel is shaven down to provide adequate room for the porcelain veneers to be placed. Patients will usually request Lumineers as another option for that reason. While Dr. Hawley does offer both, he utilizes a much thinner porcelain veneer that measures just three-tenths of a millimeter. Our Lumineers and tooth veneers are specifically designed to give you that celebrity-like smile without destroying existing tooth enamel. 

 

Porcelain veneers are installed on people of all ages for several reasons. Some people get porcelain veneers to hide chipped teeth, gaps in their smile, severely stained teeth, misshaped teeth, and teeth that are too small for their mouth. Contact Dr. Hawley to schedule a consultation to see if porcelain veneers are an option for you. 

Dental Crowns


Dental crowns, which are also referred to as caps, are custom made to fit over and replace an entire tooth. These are made from acrylic or porcelain and are used to restore a tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dental crowns can be used in cosmetic dentistry to treat teeth that are poorly shaped, badly decayed, broken, chipped, or have had large fillings.


Dental crowns are also used as a way to protect weak, broken, and worn-down teeth. Since dental crowns are caps, they can keep out harmful bacteria from affecting the teeth that are already weak. 

 

Tooth Replacement


Whether you are missing a tooth as the result of gum disease, injury, severe tooth decay, or a genetic condition, a missing or broken tooth can cause several issues related to your oral health. At Robert R. Hawley, DDS, FACP we offer several cosmetic dentistry options to replace one or more teeth including single tooth dental implants, fixed bridges, partial dentures, implant-supported dentures, and more. 

Do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with our team if you are interested in our tooth replacement and smile makeover options.

Teeth Whitening

Throughout the years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the public’s interest in teeth whitening. Whiter teeth are not only aesthetically appealing, but they can also help boost self-confidence. Dr. Hawley offers in-office and take-home teeth whitening services to his patients, utilizing the trusted brands of Opalescence and Rapid Bleach.

Opalescence Take-Home Whitening Gels are perfect for those who wish to whiten their teeth in the convenience of their home. Dr. Hawley helps personalize this by creating custom bleaching trays from an impression of the mouth. Patients can further customize the whitening process by choosing from three different strengths of bleaching: 10%, 16%, and 20%.

Patients who want faster results can opt for our in-office teeth whitening services. Opalescence’s unique formula is chemically activated, which allows Dr. Hawley to whiten teeth without having to use an ultraviolet ray. The results take less than an hour and only one appointment is necessary. Because Opalescence’s formula contains fluoride, your teeth will not only be multiple shades whiter, but your enamel can be better protected from cavities.
