Dr. Michael Stern of Smile Brighter Willoughby Hills is a Wickliffe area dentist who is excited to provide his patients the best that dental care has to offer. When patients are struggling with an imperfect smile or poor dental health, they need a quality dentist on their side. Dr. Michael Stern provides both general and cosmetic dentistry services to new and existing patients in his practice and offers a wide selection of treatments that can renew a smile!
Teeth Whitening
One of the fastest ways to rejuvenate the smile is with teeth whitening. Our practice provides take-home teeth whitening kits that include custom-made whitening trays. These trays are sent home and worn every day to improve the shades of the natural tooth enamel gradually. We also offer a lifetime tooth whitening program for individuals who maintain regular dental appointments with Dr. Stern.
Crowns and Bridges
Porcelain restorations such as crowns and bridges are made to improve the strength and appearance of the smile. Crowns cover natural tooth structure to provide stability and protect the natural tooth from breakage, while dental bridges are placed to restore a smile after tooth loss.
Dental Implant Restoration
Dental implants are popular methods of replacing missing natural teeth. Once an oral surgeon has placed the implant, patients can visit Smile Brighter Willoughby Hills outside Wickliffe to have a dental crown placed over the top. This completes the process and restores the beauty and function of the smile.
Orthodontics
One way to improve both the health and beauty of a smile is with orthodontic treatment. When teeth are misaligned, crooked, or overcrowded, they can harbor bacteria, which can lead to periodontal disease. Orthodontic treatment such as Clear Correct is a wonderful alternative to conventional braces that use metal brackets and wires to realign the smile. Clear Correct is a method of completing the same process with clear aligner trays, which are more aesthetic and comfortable.
Porcelain Veneers
Imperfections such as staining, misalignment, and breakage can be disguised with the placement of one or more porcelain veneers. Veneers are thin ceramic pieces custom-made to bond over the front of the natural teeth to cover problematic areas of the smile. They are strictly cosmetic and are a wonderful alternative to composite resin bonding.
