Snap-On Smile

Improving your smile can be a huge self-esteem booster. Here at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, we offer Snap-On Smile for patients who want a brand-new smile with as little effort as a snap!


Snap-On Smile is a brand-new, removable set of teeth that you simply snap into place over your existing teeth. They can improve the look of almost any dental imperfection including discoloration, missing teeth, gaps, and cracks. Depending on your specific needs, Snap-On Smile can be created for both upper and lower teeth.


To begin the process of creating your unique Snap-On Smile, you and your dentist will pick the shade and style for your smile. Impressions are then taken of your teeth so that a dental laboratory can create a Snap-On Smile set that fits you perfectly and allows ideal functionality. The creation process will likely take a few weeks, and upon the completion, you will come back to our office and we will show you how to snap in your brand-new smile.


A huge benefit of Snap-On Smile is that you are able to eat and drink while you wear Snap-On Smile. You can also choose to take out your smile while playing sports or sleeping, so you can protect your smile is not-so-ideal situations. Snap-On Smile should also be taken out to care for your natural teeth, underneath them.


If you are looking for an update to your smile, Snap-On Smile might be ideal for you. To learn more about services we provide at the practice, visit Cosmetic Dentist Parker, CO for more information.

What are Veneers?

If your teeth showcase some undesirable effects such as being chipped, worn down, or discolored, then you may be a candidate for veneers. Veneers are ultra-thin shells constructed of ceramic (porcelain) or a composite resin material, which are bonded to the front of the teeth. These two types of veneers are able typically fabricated by a dental technician in a laboratory and are placed right here in the Ardas Family Dental office in Parker, CO.


The first step in receiving veneers is scheduling a consultation and discussing with your dentist the result you are trying to achieve. During this appointment, X-rays and impressions may be taken. The procedure itself requires little or no anesthesia and can be the ideal choice for restoring your smile. Once veneers have been applied, for about a week or two, you will go through a period of adjustment as you get used to your new teeth that have changed in size and shape. In the end, your result will be a brand new, confident smile.


If you have questions about veneers, please give us a call. To learn more about services we provide at the practice, visit Cosmetic Dentist Parker, CO for more information. To schedule an appointment with one of our doctors at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, call 720- 459-8420.

Crown Lengthening

Occasionally, a patient will come in with excess gum tissue, a condition often referred to as “gummy smile”. Here at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, we understand that sometimes patients can become self-conscious over “gummy smile” as it makes their teeth appear short. For this reason, and several general dental reasons, we are able to perform a crown lengthening.


Crown lengthening is the process of “lengthening” the crown of a tooth. In actuality, it is actually the process of removing gum tissue. This can be performed for patients with excess gum tissue or in the case where dental work needs to be performed underneath the gumline.


First, your doctor will make incisions to the gums to pull them back. In some cases, this is all that needs to be done to expose more of the teeth. In other cases, the bone tissue there holding the tooth in will also need to be removed. The gums are sterilized and then stitched into place. When a crown lengthening is performed, even if only one tooth needs to be worked on, several teeth in the area will also be lengthened so that the gum line can heal in a natural line.


If you are self-conscious about your “gummy smile” or are in need of dental work below the gumline, trust the professionals here at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO. To set up an appointment, call our office at (720) 459-8420 or visit Cosmetic Dentistry, Parker CO
