Dr. Nick and his team are the most wonderful group you could ask to take care of you. I had a dental emergency and did not have a local dentist. When I called, they told me I could come in immediately and were so welcoming and comforting and they took care of me right away. Extremely skilled and also extremely personable! My new primary dentist :)

Instant Orthodontics 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, treatments like Invisalign or orthodontics can take months. We understand that our patients’ calendars are chock-full of responsibilities to work, school, family, and friends; for your best interests, we continually seek ways to make dental treatment convenient and accessible.
To this end, Columbia Smiles is thrilled to offer porcelain veneers as an immediate solution for minor cosmetic flaws in the teeth. These thin, porcelain restorations fit directly on top of a tooth, instantly restoring the aesthetic 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.
Contact Columbia Smiles today for more information about this incredible treatment.
Dental Implants Restore Your Smile
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 implant posts have been surgically placed, Dr. Nick will top them with a beautiful porcelain restoration to blend in with your surrounding teeth. You’ll be able to speak, chew, and smile normally.

Patient Testimonial
"Fifty and Fabulous!! That’s how I look! I am a grandmother of five beautiful grandchildren and a Corporate Executive for a major cosmetic company. Appearance is everything! In turning fifty I knew that I wanted to change something about myself, but didn’t want to go under the knife to accomplish that... My cosmetic enhancement has not only given me more confidence for my self-esteem but my veneers have made me look 10 years younger!" Alista
