COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Cosmetic dentistry can transform your smile and your confidence!
Our doctors not only focus on oral health, but we also want you to have the smile you always dreamed of. The procedures below can be used alone or in combination to create beautiful smiles.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth naturally become darker over time, especially by drinking coffee or tea, or using tobacco. Whitening, also known as bleaching, is the procedure used to brighten/lighten teeth. There are two different ways to achieve a desired whiter smile: In-Office Bleaching and At-Home Bleaching. Once teeth are clean, we can suggest the most effective option.
Orthodontics
Dr. Joiner has been providing orthodontic treatment in Orange City since 2008. He is a provider for both Invisalign® and SureSmile® aligners. Aligners are a modern method to gently shift teeth into place with no metal brackets or wires.
The aligners are clear and comfortable and virtually invisable. With current technology, many cases can now be treated with aligners which could only be treated by traditional braces a few years ago.
Contact us today for a screening to see if this is an option for you or your teen.
Implants
Missing teeth not only affect the ability to chew, but cause many adults to avoid smiling. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth, multiple teeth or is used to stabilize loose dentures giving patients confidence to smile again!
A dental implant is a titanium post that is inserted into the jaw, and permanently fuses with your bone, a process called osseointegration. Dr. Zwart is a Misch trained implant dentist which giving him the ability to treat most implant case types.

Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the natural appearance of teeth. To place a veneer, a thin layer of the original tooth enamel must be removed. Afterward, an adhesive layer is placed between the prepared tooth and the veneer. The adhesive is then hardened with the use of a specialized curing light.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is the process of placing a tooth-colored filling material in order to improve a tooth’s appearance. In order to bond a tooth, composite material is added to the tooth structure to adjust the size, shape, or color of the existing tooth. This process is very conservative and a cost effective alternative to porcelain veneers.
