Bonding
Do you have a chipped or broken tooth? Do you have a gap between your teeth? Do you have discolored teeth?
Dental bonding is a strong, reliable, convenient, and natural-looking way of repairing:
Fractures
Chips
Cracks
Stains
Closing spaces between your teeth
Misaligned teeth
Teeth Whitening
Do you feel your teeth look too dark? Would you like to have a brighter and whiter smile? Do you want to dazzle family and friends at a wedding or reunion?
Teeth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic procedures at Joplin Family Dental. Even the most beautiful smile can appear unhealthy when teeth are stained or yellowed. You can lighten your teeth several shades in as quickly as one professional strength Zoom session in our office.
There are numerous over-the-counter products, but they do not have the same whitening strength as our in-office ZOOM. Following your in-office Zoom session, you will also receive an at-home bleaching kit to maintain your brighter smile.
If you prefer, we have professional strength at-home bleaching kits. These kits allow you to whiten your teeth at home, on your own schedule. This is safer and more effective than the strips and pastes you can buy over-the-counter. Teeth whitening will brighten your teeth and give you a more youthful appearance.

Fixed Bridges
If missing teeth or gaps in your smile make it difficult to chew or leave you feeling awkward about your appearance, a dental bridge might be the best solution. The missing tooth is replaced by an artificial tooth supported by crowns on the adjacent teeth.
A dental fixed bridge is a good option for you if you have one or more missing teeth that are causing the following issues:
Difficulty chewing or talking
Remaining teeth are shifting
Jaw pain, headaches and other problems due to an uneven bite
Self-consciousness about showing your smile with missing teeth
Maryland Bridge
Do you have a missing tooth that leaves a gap when you smile? An option for replacement of the missing tooth might be a Maryland Bridge. One of the benefits of the Maryland Bridge is the minimal preparation required for the adjacent teeth.
A porcelain replacement tooth is bonded to the adjacent teeth. There have also been times when a patient’s actual tooth can be bonded to provide a natural appearance.
Maryland Bridges are especially useful for the following dental problems:
Younger patients who have completed orthodontic care and have a missing tooth
Congenitally missing teeth
Front teeth that have been lost due to gum disease
Front teeth lost due to accidents
People who do not want to have implant replacement
People who do not want their adjacent natural teeth altered
