Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are an excellent option if you would like to achieve a dramatic change in the appearance of your teeth. They are a perfect way to conceal cracks and stains and provide a great solution to misalignment. Porcelain veneers are small, thin strips of durable porcelain that are custom made to match each patient’s needs. The veneers are permanently attached to existing teeth, creating a more beautiful and uniform look. Many patients see a dramatic change in their smile in as little as two visits. Porcelain veneers offer many benefits, including:
- They are a more conservative option to crowns because they require less tooth reduction.
- Compared to dental bonding, they look and feel more natural and are more stain resistant.
- They can be used to close gaps or to straighten crowded teeth (instant orthodontics).
- They are an excellent treatment for severely discolored teeth or teeth in need of extensive aesthetic improvement.
Posterior Tooth-Colored Fillings
Many patients who have silver or dark colored fillings opt for one of the newest breakthroughs in cosmetic dentistry. Posterior tooth-colored fillings are the ideal solution for correcting or concealing past dental work that is aesthetically unflattering. Made from a durable composite resin, posterior tooth-colored fillings are bonded to existing natural preserving up to 80 percent of its structural integrity.
Teeth Whitening
Dr. Landsiedel offers three different options of teeth whitening to his patients.
Microabrasion
Dr. Landsiedel provides his patients with the teeth whitening option of microabrasion. This method works best for defects (or spots) in the teeth's enamel. During the process, stains in the outermost surface of the tooth are removed with a mild abrasive technique. Many times, this method is combined with bleaching for maximum effectiveness.
Bleaching
While many dentists offer traditional methods of tooth whitening, Dr. Landsiedel prefers the superior results he achieves using a deep bleaching technique. This type of tooth whitening has even been successfully used to whiten tetracycline discolored teeth.
Dr. Landsiedel’s teeth whitening process addresses the problems of tooth sensitivity and unpredictability of results through a two-step approach to whiter teeth. This can be accomplished by two in-office sessions and take-home bleaching trays that are worn for several consecutive nights between the office visits.
Crest Professional Advanced Whitening
Dr. Landsiedel is also happy to offer the advanced technology of Crest Advanced Whitening Strips. These professional whitening strips are not available in retail stores and have 42 percent more whitening power than over-the-counter whitening strips.

Implants
Do you cover your mouth when you smile? Is it because you have missing teeth? Dental implants can help give you back your beautiful smile and self esteem. Implants can also help preserve your existing teeth as they do not require natural teeth to help support them.
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone. They act as a replacement for the missing tooth root. Dr. Landsiedel then restores the titanium post with a crown that functions and acts as a natural tooth.
Implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. They are also used to help stabilize and hold partial and full dentures. This is a great use of them and can restore confidence and function.
