Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Willis Meriwether Tuscaloosa/Birmingham, AL
Behind every beautiful smile is a person who exudes complete and utter confidence and is happy about themselves.
Not all of us are blessed with a picture perfect smile and that is why cosmetic dentistry has changed the lives of so many people. Through procedures like porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, crowns, and dental implants, to name a few, you can have the smile of your dreams often in just two visits.
Cosmetic dentist Dr. Willis Meriwether is dedicated to helping you love your smile again. Depending on what your smile goals are and the condition of your teeth, Dr. Meriwether will work with you to develop the perfect treatment plan that will give you the best results.
One of the most revolutionary dental procedures today that can completely rejuvenate your smile is dental implants. Dental implants provide effective tooth replacement for people who have lost a tooth due to injury, disease, or other circumstances. No matter how beautiful the rest of your teeth may be, if you are missing one, it automatically reduces your smiles appearance. Dental implants offer the most ideal, permanent solution to fill in the gaps left by lost teeth.
A dental implant is a titanium artificial tooth root that is surgically placed into the jaw bone. Once the healing phase is complete and the implant has fused to the jaw, a gorgeous tooth restoration is placed on top to complete the process. Dental Implants look and feel just like the teeth nature gave you and offer patients the opportunity to once again enjoy the foods they love, while regaining the confidence to speak and smile again. Dental implants can replace one tooth or multiple teeth. The ideal candidate for implant surgery is someone who is in good overall health and has enough tooth structure to support the implant.
Patients, who suffer from multiple dental problems in addition to a missing tooth, may also consider combining dental implants with other cosmetic or restorative dentistry procedures, to achieve a healthy and beautiful smile. This can include porcelain veneers to help smooth out any imperfections like chips, stains, or cracks, giving your mouth a full smile makeover.
Sometimes a TMJ therapy treatment will be used before a cosmetic procedure, to properly align a bite imbalance that can cause pain and discomfort to the patent. In most cases, a simple adjustment to your bite positioning, or an oral device like a mouthpiece, can easily correct the issue and drastically improve you quality of life. A TMJ treatment can help restore facial harmony and balance and when combined with cosmetic dentistry, can give you a completely revitalized and healthy smile.
