Explore 5 Essential Makeover Procedures at Owens Dental Berthoud
As a holistic dentist office, Owens Dental Berthoud practices care that accounts for the whole person, not just the teeth and gums. Smile makeovers are a great fit with this approach. We understand the role that the appearance of the smile plays in our patients’ overall well-being. Smile makeovers at our office in northern Colorado also blend a variety of different cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures, five of which are listed below.
1 – Professional teeth whitening
Many patients can benefit from our professional treatments. These procedures elevate the beautiful results from smile makeovers. We provide two effective options. The fastest approach is a two-hour whitening session at our office. You can also whiten gradually from the comfort of home with trays that are customized to fit your mouth.
2 – Dental bonding
Holistic dentists only use safe, biocompatible dental materials. This cosmetic dentistry treatment involves applying metal-free, composite resin to the front surfaces of “imperfect” teeth. The resin is color-matched to look natural in your smile. Once applied and secured to the teeth, dental composite covers stubborn discoloration, chips, gaps, and other imperfections.
3 – Porcelain veneers
Both bonding and veneers may also be applied to cover other minor spacing issues and irregularities in the shape and size of the teeth. While they address similar concerns, veneers are designed differently from bonding. We use stain-resistant, durable, and natural-looking porcelain. These thin layers of porcelain are made by our top-tier dental lab. A small amount of enamel is removed to ensure each veneer fits properly. Once created, veneers are bonded securely to your teeth. We are glad to explore the differences between bonding and veneers with you during a consultation.
4 – Cosmetic restorations
Our dental restorations support a naturally attractive appearance and long-lasting function and health. We use tooth-colored composite fillings to repair cavities. These fillings are a biocompatible alternative to silver-colored amalgam fillings that contain mercury. Our crowns are also made from safe, biocompatible materials, such as ceramics like porcelain. Crowns may be appropriate when teeth are weakened and vulnerable to further damage due to fractures and large cavities.
5 – Tooth replacement
Restorative dentistry also includes procedures to rebuild teeth when they cannot be preserved. A dental bridge is generally recommended to replace one or a few teeth. The bridge is anchored by neighboring teeth. Dental implants are versatile. A single implant may be surgically placed and secured in the jawbone to anchor one replacement tooth (or crown). A few implants may be used to support a dental bridge. Lastly, it may take just four to six implants to support an upper or lower denture.
Your new smile and renewed confidence await at Owens Dental Berthoud. Call (970) 444-5464 to schedule your consultation at our office in Berthoud, CO, today.

Always happy to see you and we come in the back for your examination of procedure. They treat you like an individual and it’s always very professional and very relaxed you know, are you okay, can I get you anything. They would ask if you are comfortable, is there anything I can get you. Everyone always asks if you need anything, can I help you with anything, and to me that’s very important. Dr. Owens and his team have explained all the procedures thoroughly to me which is aided in me being very comfortable. I have some unique dental problems and Dr. Owens approached me very cautiously but you know annoyingly about it you know I knew by myself so I really appreciate that and never pushed anything which I thought was very impressive. Everybody knows me and addresses me by name and they make me feel comfortable in the front office they’ve boys taking care of the billing.

My smile I wasn’t happy with it. I consider myself an attractive person and I’m a happy person and my smile just didn’t match the inside. I was a little apprehensive. I was kind of always kind of like keeping my lip down. I wasn’t really self-conscious about my smile. It was just not what I wanted it to be so I went on Google and found Dr. Owens and came here and I was very happy I did. A number of people were telling me, especially my wife, that your teeth are kind of crooked and jagged and everything and so at some point a man, maybe they have a point and I should do something. I felt very insecure and not very confident with my smile. I just felt like yellow. I wanted to replace the front four and as long as we were doing it I said I want them to be beautiful -it was time – it was time – it was time to make a change there was no pain involved it was just it was just a really great process for me I it was so smooth and so easy and I would have done this ten years ago if I would have known it was so easy. It’s boosted a lot of confidence that I have and I can’t believe how many compliments I get out of my smiles. It’s just made a whole difference in how I feel when I perform because I feel like my smile is beautiful because when I sing and when I perform that’s what you see is my smile. But my new smile I feel wakes me up from my job. I can just be myself and not cover my smile anymore. I’m always kind of a happy-go-lucky guy so my smile got even better, but mostly because my wife got the feeling that it was much more beautiful, and happy. You know you’re not as much hiding behind you know you’re smiling white and yeah, you’re just happier and more confident I would say. After I had my teeth done, I was on a dating site and after I had my teeth done and I put up new pictures, boy my dating life picked up a ton. So, you know men are all about the smile. It really has just changed not who I am but it’s changed the reflection of who I am which is exactly what I was after. People are, you know, wondering will it really change my life? Will it really make a difference? It made a huge difference for me.
