Gorgeous Transformations With Porcelain Veneers

Small chips, deep stains, or unevenness in your teeth can leave you feeling embarrassed to show your smile. While some cosmetic solutions provide faster results than others, porcelain veneers offer you a near-instant smile transformation.

These thin porcelain restorations fit directly over the front surfaces of the teeth to mask all manner of minor flaws and restore the aesthetics of your smile. As an accredited member of the AACD, Dr. Nick works closely with his staff to design, craft, and place custom veneers that blend in with your natural teeth.

Dental Implants

Fill in the Gaps

Missing teeth can do more than put a damper on your smile: gaps between teeth may affect your facial structure and cause oral health problems. Dental implants are the most reliable and permanent tooth restoration option available today.

Once your implants have been surgically placed in your jaw, Dr. Nick will top them with beautiful porcelain restorations that blend in with your surrounding teeth and restore your oral function. You’ll be able to speak, chew, and smile normally.

We hold ourselves to the highest standards at Columbia Smiles; customer service, value, and quality care are the cornerstones of our practice, and we strive to uphold these values with every one of our patients.
