Restoring Your Smile With Full Mouth Reconstruction

Restore Your Smile To Its Natural Beauty

Full mouth reconstruction is a term often used to describe the process of restoring all teeth in the mouth.  Full mouth reconstruction can involve general dentists and specialists such as pedondontists (for restoring teeth in young children), periodontists (specializing in gums and dental implant placement), oral surgeons (to remove teeth or place implants), orthodontists who specialize in tooth movement and positioning, and endodontists (specializing in tooth pulp).

When is full mouth reconstruction needed?

1 - When teeth have been lost due to decay or trauma.

2 - When teeth have been injured or fractured, or are severely worn due to acid erosion or bruxism (grinding).

3 - In occurrences of jaw, muscle, and headache pain requiring adjustment to occlusion.

Before a full mouth reconstruction begins, your dentist at Cooley Smiles will meet with you for a consultation and comprehensive examination to determine the extent of dental decay and to review the treatment options that can correct the problem. Call us today at (425) 998-6998 to learn more!

5 Ways to A Beautiful Smile!

Have the Smile of Your Dreams!

Cosmetic dentistry offers many options for people who are unhappy with their smile. There are five main ways to improve your smile for a natural and beautiful effect.

1 - Composite bonding: Using tooth colored composite material, your dentist can apply this to the surface of the tooth to repair chipped, broken, discolored, or decayed teeth. Learn more...

2 - Composite fillings: These fillings are tooth colored and require less tooth removal than traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. Many people choose to have their amalgam (silver) fillings replaced with composite for a more natural look.

3 - Dental Veneers: Composite or porcelain veneers are adhesively bonded to the anterior (front) of the tooth to repair chips and cracks, or to correct severe tooth discoloration. 

4 - Teeth Whitening: Our teeth often become stained from smoking, foods, and poor oral hygiene. Using specialized whitening bleach either in the office or a lower-strength product at home, lightening your teeth can take years off your smile.

5 - Smile Makeover: These involved a comprehensive assessment of your oral health and your smile goals to improve your overall appearance. During a smile makeover, several dental procedures may be required to achieve the look you want.

At Cooley Smiles, our doctors will meet with you for a personalized consultation to evaluate your smile needs and goals, and create a plan to help you achieve the smile of your dreams. Call us today at (425) 998-6998 to schedule your consultation and find out more!

What is the LVI Difference?

When you are considering cosmetic dental procedures, you want to make sure your dentist has devoted time to his education. Equally important, you want to make sure that your dentist has received training from an institution that is internationally known for only accepting the best and brightest in the field of cosmetic dentistry. The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies LVI has long been considered the premier school for training in cosmetic dentistry. The dental institute is the largest and most respected post-graduate dentist education facility in the world. Throughout the years, LVI's intensive, thorough curriculum and high standards of quality have enabled their graduates to distinguish themselves as being among the most highly regarded cosmetic dentists in the field. Most dental schools do not provide training in advanced cosmetic dental procedures, necessitating an institute like LVI to ensure these procedures are given as much attention as general dental studies. Going beyond the simple procedures, LVI trains its graduates in helping patients achieve aesthetically beautiful results. Highly individualized treatment plans and using the most advanced technology available are some of the core tenets of the LVI philosophy. What this means for you... Seattle cosmetic dentists Dr. Aaron Cooley and Dr. Brandon Cooley have both completed their dental training at LVI. The difficult and demanding courses offered at LVI provided them with extensive knowledge of the latest trends and procedures available through cosmetic dentistry, and they have continued to take additional continuing education courses to ensure they remain on top of all the latest advances in the field. If you are looking for a cosmetic dentist in Bellevue or Seattle, Washington, please contact the LVI trained dentists at Cooley Smiles today to schedule your initial consultation

5 Tips for Choosing A Dentist

There are many dentists to choose from, and it can be overwhelming to try and find an experienced, professional dentist by looking through the phone book or browsing the Internet. Here are 5 tips as you search for a new dental home.

• What are the range of services provided?  If you are looking at a general dentist, are they experienced in specialty services such as cosmetic dentistry, sedation or sleep dentistry, and all areas of restorative care? Be sure to review credentials and experience prior to your initial visit.

• Are new technologies embraced? Dentistry is an ever changing field, and many advances have been made over the last few decades. Digital radiographs (x-rays), the use of lasers in periodontal care, digitally enhanced placement of crowns (CEREC) and other technologies can help make your experience quick and comfortable.

• What are your scheduling options? Are you able to request appointments online and is the scheduling process efficient and respecting of your time?

• What amenities are offered? Many dental offices are beginning to offer more in the way of comfortable surroundings, including televisions, wireless internet, a water or coffee bar, and some offices even offer spa treatments during your dental service.
