Holistic Smile Design

Alignment
At Harvest Dental Care we use clear aligners to move teeth into their desired position and accommodate for future dental treatment.
Clear aligners are great for adults to maintain your lifestyle and receive discreet treatment.

Shape
Cosmetically, the shape of teeth may have been affected over time. At this stage we can improve the volume, shape and edge profile of existing teeth making use of Cosmetic Veneers (resin fillings or porcelain) and Porcelain Crowns.

Replacement
Missing Teeth are the final piece of the Smile Design blueprint. While this stage is planned from the very beginning, it is usually the last step in the Smile Design sequence. Treatments can include dental implants, bridges or partial dentures.

Your smile is a very personal and unique character of your face. We understand that this is also a sensitive area where discussing your concerns can be difficult.
We believe that listening is one of the most important parts in having your satisfied with the final outcome. We take the time to learn what your end design is and then work backwards with solutions to get you there.
Test Drive Smile
Dentistry has evolved technologically and digitally to the point that we can now preview your new smile even before providing any treatment. This is an important step to understand how your new smile will appear and is also an opportunity to discuss if this is the right direction to take your smile.
Material Science
The dentists and clinical staff at Harvest Dental Care have invested significant time and learning to bring new digital technologies to our clinic including digital x-rays, digital dental scans and 3D digital printers.
However, our desire for updated materials and processes goes beyond the walls of our clinic as we have partnered with labs to provide us materials that are esthetic and strong.
