Smile with Confidence

We take special care with patients who want cosmetic enhancements. It’s a big decision that can dramatically affect your appearance, so we go over every detail of the process early; that way we can be sure the patient will be comfortable with the changes in their smile. For example, Dr. Mingus offers cosmetic patients who are getting veneers an extended period of time to wear temporary mock-up veneers over their teeth. This cosmetic "preview" helps patients visualize and get used to their new smile.

Our cosmetic dentistry patients benefit from Dr. Mingus’ years of experience and training in designing porcelain veneers. There are fine measurements required for porcelain veneers, both for function and appearance, that require expertise, right down the specific detail of getting the white of the teeth just right. Many dentists offer cosmetic dentistry these days, but not all are trained specifically in procedures like designing and creating porcelain veneers. For a significant procedure like porcelain veneers, you should verify and understand a dentist’s training and see examples of his work, which Dr. Mingus does in each cosmetic consultation.
