Composite Bonding

When your teeth are stained, crooked, chipped, or have minor gaps, dental bonding can be a comfortable and efficient solution. This cosmetic procedure typically only take 1-2 hours and requires no anesthesia.

The process is simple. To begin, your dentist removes any plaque from your teeth and helps choose the right shade for the bonding material. A mild etching is done and the bonding material applied. This is hardened with the curing light and then several layers of tooth-colored resin are added. Once, the correct color and thickness have been reached Dr. Kidder sculpts the tooth to fit your bite. Finally, we polish your tooth so you can enjoy a new beautiful, natural-looking smile.

Beautiful Veneers

Ready for your smile makeover?
Porcelain Veneers

Get your smile makeover today! Porcelain veneers use a strong, durable, tooth-colored material to cover over common teeth defects. These thin shells are custom-made to fit your goals and are placed over stained, chipped, or crooked teeth, leaving you with a breathtaking smile.

Minimal Prep

While porcelain veneers require a considerable amount of preparation, this alternative treatment maintains more of your natural tooth structure. However, minimal-prep veneers still provide a personalized and natural-looking finish. You can benefit from a beautifully straight and white smile today!

No-Prep

These cosmetic veneers are bonded directly to your non-prepped tooth surface, making them the most conservative type of veneer. They preserve your natural tooth structure while giving your smile an enhanced look. These veneers can be shaped and sized to fit your natural smile.

Restoring Your Smile to Its Best

Achieving function and beauty with reliable services.

Dental Implant Restoration

Discover the number one tooth replacement option at Kidder Dental. Our skilled dentists partner with local oral surgeons to provide top-class implant restorations. An implant is composed of a titanium post placed into your jawbone to mimic your natural tooth root. This post can then be topped with various restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Drs. Dustin and Elizabeth Kidder design and create these restorations once your surgeon has placed the implant. Implants provide a long-lasting and reliable solution for those with one or multiple missing teeth.

Fillings
Our modern approach to restorative dentistry can be seen when we use composite fillings to restore your smile. This material reflects the shade of your natural teeth and offers a long-lasting solution for a damaged tooth. Dr. Kidder begins this procedure by numbing the area and carefully removing any decay. Bonding solution is added to the tooth and then the composite resin is placed. Using a special light, your restorative dentist in Baton Rouge, LA hardens the composite. It is then shaped and polished for a pleasing finish. We can also replace your silver fillings with our modern composite alternative.

Dentures
Dentures are an ideal option when you have multiple missing teeth or all your teeth are missing. At Kidder Dental, we offer partial, full, and fixed implant-supported dentures. Each of these options is fitted using the latest technology and with a focus on function and beauty. Partial: Partial dentures can replace a few missing teeth on either the upper or lower arch. Although these are held in place with a clasp, they can be removed for cleaning. Full: Losing all your teeth can be traumatic but our full dentures can bring back your smile. These dentures are designed to replace all your teeth, support your facial structure, and look natural. Implant-supported: Your denture is placed on top of 4-6 dental implants for a more permanent restoration. Each of our dentures is created using an impression of your smile and fabricated to your specifications.

Dental Crowns
If your teeth are damaged or broken, we may recommend a crown. Dental crowns are natural-looking caps placed over the top of your tooth to provide protection and restore function. At Kidder Dental, we use core build-up to support and stabilize your crown. We place the crown by first removing any decay and then installing the core build-up. After this, the crown is positioned over the remaining tooth and bonded in place.

Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are an ideal solution when you are missing a tooth. A bridge consists of an artificial tooth attached to a crown either side. The bridge is then positioned where the missing tooth used to be while the crowns anchor it into place. This restoration resembles your natural teeth and can be completed in just two visits.

Inlays & Onlays
Severely damaged teeth can be past the point of filling repair. When this occurs, Dr. Kidder may recommend an inlay or onlay to preserve your remaining tooth structure and restore what is missing. Inlays: Normally made of porcelain, inlays are created using an impression of the affected tooth, which is sent to a lab to be handcrafted. When ready, the inlay is placed to restore your tooth’s structure and functionality. Onlays: Onlays are similar to inlays but cover a larger area. They can be constructed to mimic your natural tooth color and shape. Inlays and onlays are durable and recapture the strength and look of your tooth.
