Cosmetic Dentistry

Amarillo, Texas

Dr. Esler has been studying cosmetic dentistry since 1980. He has seen techniques and materials come and go. Having trained at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), he has had the opportunity to train with and then teach alongside the leading cosmetic dentists in the world. Placing veneers is a combination of skill, artistic touch, and knowledge of materials. Too often, patients are disappointed with the fake "chicklet" look of veneers placed by dentists who have limited training or experience in this type of cosmetic dentistry. Read below for more information on veneers and the enhancement of your smile.

Veneers (also called porcelain laminates) are the mainstay of the cosmetic dental practice. With veneers, we can virtually change your smile, giving you that "Hollywood smile"! Often, you choose to have veneers placed instead of under going several years of braces (see Instant Orthodontics). When veneers are properly done, you can have changed the color, shape, size and position of teeth all at once! Veneers also replace all old and discolored fillings that were previously placed in a tooth. They can strengthen teeth as well as improve their appearance.

Illusion of Instant Orthodontics

One of the most exciting things that we do for our patients is what we call "Illusion of Instant Orthodontics." We can now give YOU the look that YOU have always wanted, but weren't willing to wear braces for two to three years to have. With Illusion of Instant Orthodontics, we can straighten, lighten, change the size and change the shape of your teeth all in one process.

Smile Design

There are a number of things to consider when choosing the smile you want. First, think about your image aspirations. Do you want to look more sporty or sophisticated? Would you like to look youthful and energetic, or more mature? The shape and shade of the teeth in your new smile will communicate a bold, new message about who you are. The shape of your face can also help you determine the appropriate smile. A long face can be made to look slightly shorter with an oval smile for instance. A smile design can actually change or accentuate the shape of your face, the same way sunglasses can.

Today’s aesthetic dentistry relies on many principles driven by art as well as science. Dr. Esler pays close attention to the proportions of your existing bone structure, as well as your skin tone, eye and hair color. All these factors will help him to create a smile for you that looks completely natural and accomplishes your goals.
