Your smile is very often the first impression people get of you. That is why we work tirelessly with each patient to give them a whiter, brighter smile that is everything they could hope for, because when you feel confident, you smile more, and when you smile more, so do we. That is why we have the best teeth whitening services available in our area.
Having white teeth has become a standard for beauty, yet with teas and coffees and wine, it is difficult to maintain. At-home kits either leave you disappointed or destroy the enamel on your tooth, eventually making your teeth even more discolored than they were before.
At Oak Street Dental, we have the skills and the knowledge as a Central Point cosmetic dentist to give you the most resplendent yet still natural smile that you are capable of. While teeth whitening is never permanent, our methods mean that you only need a touch up every few years, instead of a brand new whitening procedure that you may encounter with other products.
Contact us today to find out how we can transform your smile and change your life with a brighter, whiter smile. Our friendly and experienced staff is ready and excited to answer any questions you may have and work with you to make sure you have the best dental experience. See how today!

Often understood as a partial crown, a porcelain onlay is a tooth-colored porcelain filling which is used specifically for teeth that have defective fillings or have damage caused by decay or an accident. Like a porcelain crown, getting a porcelain onlay usually involves two appointments, one to take molds and set your temporary onlay, and a second to set your new onlay.
Because we want to see each of our patients succeed, we always provide care instructions and will check on all of your restorations at each checkup. We are your partner in your venture to a beautiful smile, and you can be confident that we won’t treat you as anything less.
If you have broken or decayed teeth, need a cosmetic enhancement, have large or fractured fillings, then a porcelain onlay could be perfect for you. Contact us today to schedule your first appointment and start giving your teeth the quality care they deserve!
Whether you are frustrated with fractured fillings or teeth, in pain with decay or root canals, or are looking for a cosmetic enhancement, we have the porcelain crowns that will have your smile looking more natural, more vibrant, and more you than ever before.
When we have discussed options and you and your dentist have decided that a porcelain crown is just right for you, then we schedule two appointments.
Your first will be mainly focused on getting fitted. Much like a wedding dress, your crown needs to be custom and tailored to fit you perfectly. We do this by taking several highly accurate molds which are used to create your crown. Because this process is so exact, it often takes about two weeks for your permanent crown to be made. However, we know that you may not be able to wait that long. At your first appointment, we also create a mold, just for making a temporary crown that you will wear until the permanent one is ready.
During this first appointment, that temporary crown is made and fitted and your bite will be checked to make sure everything is working correctly.
At your second appointment (after the new crown has been made), your temporary crown will be removed, your tooth cleaned, and the new one fitted.
Contact us today to make an appointment and see if a porcelain crown is right for you!

If you’re feeling somewhat self-conscious about your teeth, or just want to improve your smile, cosmetic dental treatments may be the answer to a more beautiful, confident smile.
Cosmetic dentistry has become very popular in the last several years, not only due to the many advances in cosmetic dental procedures and materials available today, but also because patients are becoming more and more focused on improving their overall health. This includes dental prevention and having a healthier, whiter, more radiant smile.
There are many cosmetic dental procedures available to improve your teeth and enhance your smile. Depending on your particular needs, cosmetic dental treatments can change your smile dramatically, from restoring a single tooth to having a full mouth make-over. Ask your dentist how you can improve the health and beauty of your smile with cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic Procedures:
Teeth Whitening: Bleaching lightens teeth that have been stained or discolored by age, food, drink, and smoking. Teeth darkened as a result of injury or taking certain medications can also be bleached, but the effectiveness depends on the degree of staining present.
Composite (tooth-colored) Fillings: Also known as “bonding”, composite fillings are now widely used instead of amalgam (silver) fillings to repair teeth with cavities, and also to replace old defective fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are also used to repair chipped, broken, or discolored teeth. This type of filling is also very useful to fill in gaps and to protect sensitive, exposed root surfaces caused by gum recession.
Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are thin custom-made, tooth-colored shells that are bonded onto the fronts of teeth to create a beautiful individual smile. They can help restore or camouflage damaged, discolored, poorly shaped, or misaligned teeth. Unlike crowns, veneers require minimal tooth structure to be removed from the surface of the tooth.
Porcelain Crowns (caps): A crown is a tooth-colored, custom-made covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. Crowns protect and strengthen teeth that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations. They are ideal for teeth that have large, fractured or broken fillings and also for those that are badly decayed.
Dental Implants: Dental implants are artificial roots that are surgically placed into the jaw to replace one or more missing teeth. Porcelain crowns, bridges, and dentures can be made specifically to fit and attach to implants, giving a patient a strong, stable, and durable solution to removable dental appliances.
Orthodontics: Less visible and more effective brackets and wires are making straightening teeth with orthodontics much more appealing to adult patients. Also, in some cases, teeth may be straightened with custom-made, clear, removable aligners that require no braces.
Thanks to the advances in modern dentistry, cosmetic treatments can make a difference in making your smile shine!
Porcelain veneers are very thin shells of tooth-shaped porcelain that are individually crafted to cover the fronts of teeth. They are very durable and will not stain, making them a very popular solution for those seeking to restore or enhance the beauty of their smile.
Veneers may be used to restore or correct the following dental conditions:
Getting veneers usually requires two visits. Veneers are created from an impression (mold) of your teeth that is then sent to a professional dental laboratory where each veneer is custom-made (for shape and color) for your individual smile.
With little or no anesthesia, teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the front surface of the teeth to allow for the small thickness of veneers. The veneers are carefully fitted and bonded onto the tooth surface with special bonding cements and occasionally a specialized light may be used to harden and set the bond.
Veneers are an excellent dental treatment that can dramatically improve your teeth and give you a natural, beautiful smile.
Since teeth whitening has now become the number one aesthetic concern of many patients, there are many products and methods available to achieve a brighter smile.
Professional teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel, and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Over-the-counter products are also available, but they are much less effective than professional treatments and may not be approved by the American Dental Association (ADA).
As we age, the outer layer of tooth enamel wears away, eventually revealing a darker or yellow shade. The color of our teeth also comes from the inside of the tooth, which may become darker over time. Smoking, drinking coffee, tea, and wine may also contribute to tooth discoloration, making our teeth yellow and dull. Sometimes, teeth can become discolored from taking certain medications as a child, such as tetracycline. Excessive fluoridation (fluorosis) during tooth development can also cause teeth to become discolored.
It’s important to have your teeth evaluated by your dentist to determine if you’re a good candidate for bleaching. Occasionally, tetracycline and fluorosis stains are difficult to bleach and your dentist may offer other options, such as veneers or crowns to cover up such stains. Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is also important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. before bleaching begins. Once the bleaching is done, your dentist can match the new restorations to the shade of the newly whitened teeth.
Since teeth whitening is not permanent, a touch-up may be needed every several years to keep your smile looking bright.
The most widely used professional teeth whitening systems:
Home teeth whitening systems: At-home products usually come in a gel form that is placed in a custom-fitted mouthguard (tray), created from a mold of your teeth. The trays are worn either twice a day for approximately 30 minutes, or overnight while you sleep. It usually takes several weeks to achieve the desired results depending on the degree of staining and the desired level of whitening.
In office teeth whitening: This treatment is done in the dental office and you will see results immediately. It may require more than one visit, with each visit lasting 30 to 60 minutes. While your gums are protected, a bleaching solution is applied to the teeth. A special light may be used to enhance the action of the agent while the teeth are whitened.
Some patients may experience tooth sensitivity after having their teeth whitened. This sensation is temporary and subsides shortly after you complete the bleaching process, usually within a few days to one week.
Teeth whitening can be very effective and can give you a brighter, whiter, more confident smile!
