Before and After Teeth Straightening and Cosmetics

When teeth are properly aligned and positioned correctly within the mouth, the results are stunning and pleasing to the eye.  In some cases, beautiful porcelain dental cosmetics are used to enhance the color, size, and shape of teeth as well as repair worn-down areas that occur over time in most adults.  This damage is more noticeable and happens quicker in people who have teeth that are not aligned properly.

The Pathway to Straight. White. Teeth; The Dental Triad

Dr. Christopher Martinez
Cosmetic Dentistry & Orthodontics

After years of working in the dental field, it is my true passion to provide excellence in cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics.  My goal is to provide a Straight Smile that will last for many many years to everyone.  My approach has been proven time and time again amongst many patients of all different ages that stability of the gums, teeth, and bite result in lower gum and teeth problems (if at all).  It would be my absolute pleasure to advise you on what a Straight Smile can be for you!

Healthy Gums

Clean healthy gums are essential to initial and long term success of Straight Smile. Clean healthy gums mean the bacteria is under control and your gums won’t swell, grow over the teeth, and lead to unwanted yellowing of teeth, gingivitis, and receding gums. Cleanings every 3 months are needed in some teenagers and adults.

Healthy Teeth

Any tooth that is need of repair due to cavities, wear and tear, discolocration, uneven shape and size, etc. needs to be addressed. This will influence the outcome of your Straight Smile.

Healthy Bite

Placing the teeth in the proper position allows the teeth, muscles, and skeleton to operate normally as nature designed them to function.

Dental Cosmetics

After teeth straightening, porcelain crowns and/or veneers may be needed to fully restore color, size, and shape from development and/or damage. Dr. Martinez utilizes the Lumineer brand of porcelain veneers as seen on Hollywood makeover television series. The Lumineer brand is a “no-prep or minimal prep” procedure that is the absolute most conservative for teeth. Lumineers are simply glued to the front of the teeth.

Long Term Stability

Permanent retainers for top and bottom teeth are used to help prevent teeth from shifting over the years.  They are thin pieces of wire that are glued to the back of the teeth and are not visible when you smile.  In addition, a bite guard or bite splint is often used for added protection.

I started services last May at this dentist office and they are the best around. Everyone is always so nice and I actually enjoy going to my visits. I've had 3 crowns and several fillings fixed here and still have more work that I will go back for them to take care of. They do take Care Credit which I appreciate. A special thanks to Dr. Grey, Melina, Porfiria, Aide and the rest that have been wonderful but don't remember by name. You're all wonderful!

Super friendly environment, Dr. Martinez, Dr. Gray and his staff are very welcoming an attentive. They answered all of my questions an concerns I had. The assistant Karla who did my adjustments for my braces was very funny and really brought down my anxiety. It’s not everyday that you find a place that can really connect with their patients. My time with this Clinic made my entire braces experience so very easy and greatful for choosing them. Recommend 100%

I had Dr. Gray as my dentist and it was an absolute pleasure. He took his time and made sure I was comfortable and happy with my crowns. I’m unbelievably happy with how they came out! I’ll have to share a photos. I would definitely recommend him and glad he is apart of the Martinez family!

It's been a while since I had a dentist appointment and I'm so glad that I chose Dr. Martinez. I'm always nervous whenever I need to see a doctor, but Dr. Martinez and his staff are so patient and understanding, they really made me feel at home. Kate is the best at helping me relax. Even after my first session, I'm already seeing positive changes! Thank you Dr. Martinez and staff! God bless you all!

Can't say enough about Dr. Martinez and his staff. Both my wife and I along with our 13yr old son are having our ortho taken care of by Dr. Martinez. He and his staff always make our visit very pleasant and welcoming. We've gone to other dental offices before to get routine dental cleaning but Dr. Martinez's Dental Hygienist goes above and beyond to make sure it gets done right. If you've been looking for an honest, professional, and knowledgable Dental office, this is the one. Thank you Dr. Martinez and Staff !!!
