The goal of every general dentistry practice is to prevent tooth decay and preserve your smile. General dentists focus on preventing, diagnosing and treating a multitude of diseases, conditions and disorders affecting the teeth, gums and jaw. Fortune Smiles is dedicated to maintaining stellar oral hygiene to make your teeth as healthy as possible. The American Dental Association recommends that you visit your dentist at least once every six months. This is to ensure good oral hygiene and functionality at the highest levels. Scheduling regular checkups to maintain oral health prevents the development of major dental issues that can be prohibitively expensive in the long run.

Your Fortune Smiles dental team member can work with you to customize a restorative treatment plan to achieve the goals of your oral makeover. If your teeth are too short from wear and tear, they can make you look older, especially if a gummy smile is present. Reshaping and lengthening the two front central teeth with composite bonding or porcelain veneers may be recommended. The gum line can be modified, and laser dentistry procedures can create the appearance of lengthened teeth. Smile lines follow the edge of your upper teeth from side to side along the curve of your lower lip.
