Veneers & Lumineers®
With the latest in technology, our new contact lens thin “smile shaper” veneers may be the solution for creating your perfect smile! Veneers are used to resurface teeth and make them appear more straight. For some people, they are an excellent alternative to orthodontics. These thin veneers are remarkably durable, and there is no need for removal of sensitive tooth structure as in the past.
Cosmetic Improvement
Used to conceal stains, chips, and misalignment and create a breathtaking smile, dental veneers are expertly applied by skilled cosmetic dentist J. Luis Ruiz, D.D.S. to improve the overall look of teeth. Patients can achieve outstanding results with the simple, effective porcelain dental veneers treatment.
Instant Orthodontics
Porcelain dental veneers can also function like "instant orthodontics," producing an immediate straightening effect, eliminating gaps, and correcting minor bite concerns. Many porcelain dental veneers patients find that the results of their instant orthodontics are exceptionally beautiful and natural-looking.
“I am so pleased with the look of my new veneers. They feel so natural. No one knows that they are not my real teeth. Thank you Dr. Ruiz for my new beautiful smile!” – Valarie S.
Zoom!® Teeth Whitening
An incredibly convenient and simple way to make a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile, the Zoom! Teeth Whitening System utilizes a powerful, professional-strength bleaching gel and special whitening lamp to remove stains from teeth, making them an average of eight shades lighter in a single, hour-long visit. Zoom! Teeth Whitening can transform your smile, creating a healthy, attractive appearance that looks completely natural.
Same Day Onlays & Porcelain Crowns
We have invested in the E4D System for our in-house dental lab. This system is the most advanced computer-assisted design and milling (CAD-CAM) system in the world. We are able to create dental onlays and crowns in-house in about an hour. What this means to you is less waiting, fewer shots, no need for multiple appointments or return visits, and no more annoying temporary crowns!
Made of natural-looking and durable porcelain, crowns and onlays are molded to fit over an entire tooth, improving the look of chips, cracks, stains, and other imperfections. By protecting the tooth from further damage, porcelain crowns can eliminate the pain associated with decay or injury and make speaking and chewing much more comfortable. Also, because porcelain crowns can be carefully created to blend with surrounding teeth and securely placed over the injured tooth, you can be completely confident in your appearance.
Cosmetic Bonding
Patients can often use composite bonding to close small spaces or correct uneven and damaged teeth. In a single visit to our practice, cosmetic bonding can be used to transform your smile, correcting the appearance of stains, cracks, and minor gaps. Dr. Ruiz applies a thin coat of the composite bonding material to the tooth or teeth being treated, carefully sculpts it to create the final shape, and bonds it with a high intensity light for long-lasting results. Depending on your individual needs, cosmetic bonding treatment may also be combined with instant orthodontic porcelain veneer procedures, teeth whitening, and other cosmetic options for enhanced results.
“Dr. Ruiz is just an exceptional Dentist. He’s the best! He re-did my teeth in such a way that I look a lot younger. I had work from another dentist five years ago. I am much happier and satisfied with Dr. Ruiz’s job. Thank you very much Dr. Ruiz and also to your wonderful staff.”– Zoe M.
Orthodontics and Invisalign®
Dr. Jose Luis Ruiz, DDS, FAGD has been recognized as an Invisalign Innovator and Premier Provider, placing him among the top 5% of Invisalign practitioners in North America since 2003. Each year, Align Technology, Inc., the inventor of Invisalign, a clear, removable method of straightening teeth without wires and brackets, will award Premier Provider status to a select group of Invisalign practitioners in the U.S. and Canada. To qualify, doctors must demonstrate an exceptional level of Invisalign experience and meet Invisalign clinical education requirements.
Using a series of clear plastic trays or aligners, the Invisalign system can correct problems with alignment and spacing to create a more even, attractive smile. The revolutionary option gradually straightens teeth without the discomfort or embarrassment associated with traditional orthodontic treatment. The flexible trays are removable and virtually invisible, so Invisalign patients can enjoy the results of orthodontic treatment without the hassles of metal brackets and wires. Additionally, Invisalign is so effective, patients typically complete treatment in as little as one year.
“I feel very comfortable and everyone is very nice. I never felt any pain during any treatment. I was always relaxed, I’ve been to many of dentist but Dr. Ruiz is at the very top of my list. I have a lot of confidence in his ability and he keeps updating his education and equipment.” – John K.
