With cosmetic dentistry from Premier Dentistry of Eagle, you can significantly improve your smile for this special occasion!

If your smile is not ready for the paparazzi of family and friends taking snapshots of your monumental day, consult with Dr. Shane S. Porter of Premier Dentistry of Eagle for his recommendations. Long after graduation, pictures of you beaming in cap and gown will be on display.

Dr. Porter has several cosmetic options to help you get the smile you’ve always wanted before your special event.

Teeth Whitening

If you’re preparing to graduate at the end of May, celebrate your achievements with an aesthetic smile solution, such as teeth whitening. Stained teeth from coffee, tea, blueberries, cherries, cola and tobacco degrade your smile. To safely do away with these sometimes-stubborn stains, consult with Dr. Porter for teeth-whitening treatments to lighten your smile.

We proudly offer Zoom teeth whitening at Premier Dentistry of Eagle. This quick and professional in-office whitening treatment can brighten your smile up to eight shades after just one treatment! There’s so much to smile about at graduation, you want to be confident and sure of yourself when you walk across the stage to receive your diploma. A professional whitening treatment can be a great gift for a graduate (hint, hint) and is a gift that will benefit you every day! If you’re interested in achieving a whiter, more beautiful smile for graduation, we invite you to contact us today at (208) 546-0655 to schedule your consultation.

Porcelain Veneers

Don’t let cosmetic imperfections keep you from smiling freely during this happy occasion! Porcelain veneers offer dramatic results. A new smile with veneers can also come together in as few as two appointments. If you need a complete smile makeover, dental veneers might be just the procedure to achieve the smile you’re hoping for. Veneers are an aesthetic treatment for broken or chipped teeth, worn-down teeth and irregularly shaped teeth. They create a virtual makeover that impacts your whole appearance, boosts your confidence and brings out the best in you.

What is the Process of Having Veneers Done?

• Initially, your teeth are prepared by having a small amount of your tooth enamel removed, a mold of your tooth is taken, and a veneer is made to fit perfectly over the old tooth. The molds are then sent to a dental lab for fabrication.
• A temporary covering for your teeth is put in place until the veneers are completed.
• In two to three weeks, the temporary covering is removed and the finished veneers are bonded to the teeth.

Appearance is important, and veneers are a good choice for those who want a beautiful smile. Click here to learn more about dental veneers at Premier Dentistry of Eagle.

Invisalign®, The Clear Alternative to Metal Braces

For many near-graduates, there might be something holding you back from truly enjoying this time. If your teeth aren’t as straight as you would like them to be, you might be tight-lipped for your graduation pictures.

If your teeth are crowded, crooked, or gapped, Dr. Porter has the solution. The Invisalign® treatment system is an alternative to metal braces and far more comfortable than traditional braces.

• Invisalign® uses clear, comfortable aligners that are custom made to fit your smile. You simply wear these aligners over your teeth and instead of tightening metal brackets every month, you switch sets about every two weeks to gradually, gently guide your teeth to their proper positions.
• Invisalign® is a good choice for those who want discreet orthodontic treatment vs. traditional metal braces.
• The aligners are removable, so you can take them off when you need to eat, floss, brush your teeth, or have your pictures taken!

If you’re want to graduate with a beautiful smile, consider Invisalign® treatment from Dr. Porter.

Before You Pack Up to Go Away to College

High school graduation marks the end of childhood and the beginning of young adulthood, and it often means moving away from home to attend college. Before you launch into the next phase of life, schedule a dental checkup and cleaning, and start the next chapter of your life with good oral health. Dental exams for graduates are important for several reasons.  

• Wisdom teeth generally erupt between ages 17–21. Sometimes these teeth come in without any problem, but many wisdom teeth become impacted and must be removed, so it’s important to monitor them during regular dental checkups.
• Decay and gum disease can be treated, if caught early. With the hectic schedule of a college student, finding a new dentist in a new environment is less likely to happen, which can lead to major problems.
• See Dr. Porter before you leave town and by the time you come home for Christmas, it will be time for another check-up. Regular exams are essential for good oral health, whether at home or away at college.

Cosmetic or general dentistry at Premier Dentistry of Eagle proves to be an investment that will bless you with increased self-assurance every day. Located at 467 South Rivershore Lane in Eagle, Idaho, Dr. Porter also provides dental care to patients in the surrounding communities of Star, Middleton, Meridian, Garden City, and Boise.

We look forward to getting your smile ready for all those graduation hugs, laughter, and, of course, pictures to capture those special moments.
