Creating Beautiful Smiles At Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry in Lafayette

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Creating beautiful Lafayette smiles at Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry I am glad you found our blog! I’m Dr. Gordon West, DDS, of Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry, a full-service dental practice in Lafayette. I am a proud member of The Crown Council. My profession is dentistry, but my passion is providing superior and affordable Lafayette dental care for my patients. I began serving Colorado dental clients in the Boulder area back in 1998. Since that time, my profession has undergone dramatic changes which have benefited my teeth whitening and tooth restoration patients in Longmont and Louisville.

My specialty in Lafayette is cosmetic dentistry, but I also perform many porcelain veneers and dental implants for my Longmont and Louisville patients.

I know my Lafayette dentistry patients have many choices for their dentistry care and work hard every day to surpass expectations.

I build long-term relationships with my Broomfield and Louisville cosmetic dentistry patients. I constantly educate myself on the latest procedures to determine what is truly innovative and what is merely a gimmick. My cosmetic and general dentistry patients appreciate the time I take to thoroughly analyze their total oral health. My staff enjoys keeping my Lafayette family dentistry practice running smoothly so I can concentrate on what I do best—serving my patients!

Common Myths about Lafayette Family Cosmetic Dentistry

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Common Myths about Lafayette Family Cosmetic Dentistry Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Never Necessary for a Healthy Smile

Many so-called Boulder cosmetic dental procedures are not solely cosmetic. Longmont dental procedures such as tooth replacement are smile-enhancing and, more importantly, prevent many potential problems such as tooth movement, bone loss and difficulty chewing and speaking.

Myth #2: A Louisville Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth

Dental bridges are a Lafayette dental cosmetic procedure that have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many advantages for Broomfield dental patients. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Colorado tooth implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

Myth #3: At-Home Kits are as Effective for Louisville Tooth Whitening Than a Professional Dental Solution

At Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry, we offer our Boulder dental patients teeth whitening treatments that provide a much greater level of whiteness than at-home kits. At-home kits may remove surface stains, but they do not provide optimum results and can often lead to uneven coloring.

Myth #4: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth.

Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Call us at 303-665-5335 to set up an appointment so we can determine the best solution for you.

Myth #5: Longmont Braces are the Only Way to Straighten Teeth

Braces are often part of a transforming dental makeover for our Boulder teens and adults alike. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, Invisalign invisible braces can dramatically improve your smile.
