Cosmetic Dentistry
A beautiful, natural-looking smile can change your life and overall health. Dr. Carlson and his team are dedicated to helping you get the picture-perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of. We offer porcelain veneers, dental implants, bonding, tooth-colored restorations, porcelain crowns, smile whitening, and other cosmetic services to get you the smile you deserve.

Crowns & Bridges
Dr. Carlson uses crowns and bridges to restore and enhance teeth that are damaged, or to take the place of missing teeth. A crown also referred to as a cap, is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. A crown not only strengthens a tooth, but can dramatically improve a tooth’s appearance, shape, and alignment.

Implant-supported Dentures
The best choice for replacing a full set of upper or lower teeth, dentures with Dr. Carlson are natural-looking, durable, and look like real teeth. Using top-quality materials allows our dentures to have excellent longevity as well as exceptional fit and finish, and they are fitted to your jaw for the most comfortable fit allow you to enjoy life like you used to, improving your lifestyle. They can even be affixed on implants for a permanent restoration for Tuscaloosa, AL patients.

Smile Whitening
Tooth Whitening is an easy solution for people who want to improve the color of their teeth with minimal procedures. Remove stains from coffee, smoking, or other common causes with a painless tooth whitening from Dr. Carlson. We offer several tooth whitening options, all of which will be more effective than any over-the-counter solution.

Bonding
Composite bonding resin is a white, tooth-colored material that can be shaded to match your teeth. This material can give you a low-cost improvement in your smile. Normal pits and grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth can trap food that can’t easily be removed with brushing.

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking solution to replace a missing tooth. Dental implants bond directly to the jawbone by attaching a titanium post and connector to create a sturdy base for the crown. Dental implants with Dr. Carlson are an excellent solution for those who want to improve their smiles while allowing the lifestyle you’re accustomed to – confidently smile, laugh, and eat what you want.

Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are made from a thin, translucent layer of porcelain that fits over an existing tooth to give it an improved shape, color, or size. If your teeth are chipped, stained, have an unsightly gap, or are ground down, and you’re ready for a change, you should consider a makeover with veneers.
