At the office of Bruce McArthur, DDS, we strongly believe that no two smiles are alike, and therefore, no two cosmetic dentistry treatments should be alike. For over two decades, Dr. McArthur has established an excellent record of quality work and personal care. He has been using advanced technology to provide cosmetic dentistry treatments such as a complete smile makeover with teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and more to the Lakewood and Littleton, Colorado area. From the initial consultation to the finishing touches of treatment, our friendly cosmetic dentistry team provides patients with the individual attention and care they deserve
Teeth whitening is a safe and effective cosmetic dentistry treatment option designed to help patients attain a whiter, brighter smile by removing stains and lightening the color of tooth enamel. Dr. McArthur recommends at-home teeth whitening kits to his Lakewood and Littleton, Colorado area patients, which are easy to use and enable patients to control the level of whiteness they want to achieve.
Before the teeth whitening procedure can start, Dr. McArthur will give patients a complete check up to look for cavities or excess plaque in the mouth. Any necessary teeth repairs or cleaning should be done prior to teeth whitening.
Dr. McArthur will then create custom impressions for his patients. Impressions are molds of the teeth that help to ensure that every corner of a patient's smile is whitened by the bleaching system. The mold also includes a special tray to hold the teeth whitening solution against the teeth.
Patients will fill the trays with the teeth whitening gel and wear them overnight for the amount of time required for desired results. Results from at-home teeth whitening can be seen in approximately two-to-three weeks.
At-home teeth whitening kits provide an effective way to attain a significantly whiter smile. Patients who drink coffee, tea, or who smoke can safely eliminate stains and other discolorations from their teeth with at-home bleaching kits. The kits are also convenient for necessary touchups.

Porcelain veneers are an ideal smile makeover solution for patients in Lakewood or Littleton, Colorado who wish to restore beauty to cracked, chipped, misshapen or otherwise blemished teeth. Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front of teeth to create a straighter, brighter, smile.
Patients who are interested in porcelain veneers will meet with Dr. McArthur for an initial consultation. Dr. McArthur will explain the entire porcelain veneers treatment process and make sure the patient's goals for treatment are realistic.
After the initial consultation, patients will return for a second office visit, when the teeth will be prepared for porcelain veneers. Dr. McArthur will buff the surface of the teeth and remove a small amount of enamel to make room for the porcelain veneers. Next, a mold is taken of the teeth so the porcelain veneers can be custom-fitted for the patient. Patients will return for a third visit, when the porcelain veneers will be bonded to the teeth using a special adhesive. The result is a beautifully enhanced smile.
Patients who opt for a smile makeover using porcelain veneers can enjoy their new straighter and whiter smiles. The appearance of chipped and crooked teeth can be easily improved with the placement of porcelain veneers. The translucent glass-like ceramic that the veneers are made of also make teeth appear brighter, yet natural-looking. The combination of the finest porcelain veneers and the artistry of Dr. McArthur will help you attain the glowing, beautiful, and healthy smile you deserve.
In addition to teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, patients in Lakewood, Littleton, and surrounding Colorado areas can also achieve a smile makeover through dental bonding. Dental bonding is most often used to lend structural support to areas of the teeth where decay has been removed, and can also be a fast and effective alternative to porcelain veneers. Bonding can redefine teeth, masking cracks, chips, stains, and other flaws to craft a new and stunning smile that is free of aesthetic imperfections. Dr. McArthur individually shapes and contours the bonding material until the treated teeth blend naturally with those surrounding them. This ensures that every bonded smile will be as natural looking and attractive as possible.
Dental repairs used to require unsightly metal additions that could make your smile appear flawed. Today, our practice is proud to provide tooth-colored fillings made of durable resin or porcelain that can be bonded directly to your teeth for stronger, more natural-looking smile makeover results. Tooth-colored fillings offer a safe and effective way to maintain the health and beauty of your smile.
Utilizing various cosmetic dentistry techniques including porcelain veneers and teeth whitening, a smile makeover can offer Littleton and Lakewood, Colorado area patients a new smile. Contact our office today to schedule a consultation with our cosmetic dentist.
