- Teeth CleaningNow, imagine not being afraid to go to the dentist. Imagine a dental cleaning with no anxiety. Imagine being able to accomplish all your dental care in as little as one appointment. Many other dental offices offer mild sedation for dental treatment. Valium and Nitrous Oxide are common options for many offices. Our restorative dentistry takes a different approach.

- VeneersIf you’re looking for a cosmetic dentist Colorado Springs residents have used for successful results, you are probably considering a variety of options and procedures. Options for changing your smile range from teeth whitening to complete makeovers involving dental crowns, implants, veneers, reshaping the gums, changing the color and shape of the teeth. The cost can range from a few hundred dollars to many thousands of dollars. While the financial investment can be a considerable sum, we encourage people to also consider the investment of time and the interruption of life during the makeover process. There is a big difference between a couple of hours for laser tooth whitening versus several appointments over three or four months to allow for various procedures to heal before proceeding to the next phase. It is not a decision to be made lightly. In the menu to the left are some options and considerations for you to browse. If you have questions or are ready to discuss a treatment plan, Dr. Carter, DDS is an excellent cosmetic dentist Colorado Springs has to offer for personalized care with optimal results. Please contact us to schedule a consultation appointment!
