Cosmetic Dentistry
You deserve a bright and beautiful smile! Have you waited years to finally take care of yourself? Well, the waiting is over.

Dental Implants
Significantly stronger than bridges or dentures, dental implants are one of the best options today for replacing missing teeth. A dental implant mirrors the size and shape of a patient's natural tooth and is often as strong as your original tooth! Rather than resting on the gumline like removable dentures, implants are long-term dental replacements that a surgeon places in your jawbone.

Invisible Braces
Invisible Braces / Clear Adult Braces
Invisible braces are a set of removable, clear aligners that both orthodontists and dentists use to advance an invisible way of straightening teeth. No one has to know that you’re straightening your teeth, because they are virtually invisible!
Periodontics Evaluation
Quite often periodontal-related problems are discovered after they have persisted for a long period of time. Gum disease which is most commonly caused by plaque, can be mild (gingivitis), moderate (periodintitis), or severe (periodontitis). Fortunately, all gum disease can be treated by your dentist.
Preventive Dentistry
Dr. Smith recommends that certain dental procedures be performed regularly as part of your proper dental hygiene. Preventative dentistry prevents illness before it occurs, corrects routine problems before they get worse.
Restorative Dentistry
For patients in Torrington, Goshen and Litchfield with damaged teeth or painful jaw problems, Dr. Smith uses restorative dentistry treatments to restore the function and health of their smile. Dr. Smith can fill in gaps left by missing teeth, repair decay, and prevent painful shifting in the mouth using dentures, porcelain or composite fillings, dental implants and more.
Snoring Treatment
If you are having problems with snoring, ask your dentist about sleep apnea. Snoring is a medical condition which is characterized by obstructed breathing as you sleep. It is a potentially serious concern which your dentist should be made aware of.
TMJ & TMD Exams
The "Temporomandibular Joint" (TMJ), commonly referred to as the "jaw joint," assists in the basic opening and closing of the jaw. It is also commonly known for causing repetitive discomfort and pain. Although many people believe that "popping" sounds in the jaw indicate a TMJ dysfunction (TMD), this is not always true.
