A cosmetic dental consultation is informative and enjoyable. As the patient, you’ll have the opportunity to describe your goals and expectations. If this is your first visit to the practice, you’ll discover whether you feel comfortable with our dentist and other members of the treatment team. Successful cosmetic dentistry consultations help us provide the highest level of dental care.

This is the time to ask questions about possible procedures such as teeth whitening. You can look at pictures of porcelain veneer patients and dental implant recipients in the Elizabethtown, Hershey, Manheim, and Leola areas. Our cosmetic dentistry patients really get excited when they see images of the possible results for their teeth.

By listening effectively and asking the right questions, Dr. Ed White can fully assess the many variables unique to your needs.

Dr. Ed White thoroughly examines teeth, gums and biting function. Complete x-rays are taken. Existing dental work, tooth color, tooth alignment, and gum condition are taken into consideration. Medical history and lifestyle are also important considerations. Cosmetic dentistry costs are outlined.

Taking the first step to learn is your key to understanding your options and preparing to make decisions. Learn about the possibilities for your smile at Elizabethtown Dental Associates; give us a call at 717-689-2055.

How do celebrities obtain brilliant white smiles always ready for the red carpet or a close-up? Very few people (famous and non-famous alike) with perfect teeth were born with them. (…Sure, no one is born with teeth, but you know what I mean.) Celebrities have perfect smiles because they have undergone cosmetic dentistry.

Guess what? You can also have a smile like a supermodel or television news anchor because Dr. Ed White at Elizabethtown Dental Associates has as much experience and training in advanced cosmetic dentistry as any Hollywood cosmetic dentist.

Dr. White has been providing smile makeovers for Elizabethtown, Hershey, and Lancaster dental clients since 1984. Tooth whitening is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth whitening quickly perks up your teeth and makes you feel like smiling all the time!

Porcelain veneers are used often in Pennsylvania cosmetic dental offices because they correct myriad problems. Veneers remedy misshapen teeth, cracks and chips, and discolored teeth. Teeth that have been worn down extensively can also be repaired with veneers. Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer is minimally invasive. The latest veneers do not require the removal of healthy enamel. Another plus: veneers are usually less expensive than complete crowns!

Tooth whitening and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Elizabethtown Dental Associates. Schedule a Elizabethtown cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 717-689-2055. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

We look forward to helping you achieve a celebrity smile.

(Note that the celebrities pictured above are not affiliated with our site; they just have great smiles!)

Most residents in the Elizabethtown, Leola, and Hershey area have plenty of things to smile about.

However, there are some folks who avoid smiling at all costs. Are you one of those people who cover their mouth when they laugh? Do you keep your mouth closed when someone takes a picture of you? Have you been hiding unsightly teeth for years?

It’s time to take care of those tooth problems and get a new lease on life.

Dr. Ed White DDS at Elizabethtown Dental Associates in Elizabethtown can make it happen!

If you are missing one or more teeth, and live in the Leola area, talk to us about dental implants. A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that includes both root and crown. Because it is anchored into the jawbone, it looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Are your teeth yellow or gray? Have a teeth whitening treatment at our Elizabethtown dental practice and experience an instant transformation.

Many of your friends and neighbors in Elizabethtown, Leola, and Hershey have benefited from porcelain veneers. They correct several types of imperfections and can be applied in just one visit to our Elizabethtown dental office.

A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels and works like a natural tooth.

The actual dental implant material is usually titanium. A post is surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation. The root replacement device can help prevent future jaw bone deterioration that can occur after a tooth has been lost. When the implant has integrated securely with the bone (it can take three to six months), a smaller post is attached. This post extends above the gum line. The artificial tooth (crown) is then attached.

The dental implants available in the Elizabethtown and Hershey area are extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of configurations. One dental implant can replace one missing tooth. A series of implants can replace more than one tooth or anchor a dental bridge. Implants can also act as a sturdy base for partial or full dentures.

When calculating the cost of dental implants in Leola, you’ll want to compare them to other restorative options.

Call 717-689-2055 to schedule a visit to discuss your dental goals and the possibility of reasonably cost dental implants. If you are missing one or more teeth, you owe it to yourself to get dental implants information.

Poorly aligned teeth? Think it takes forever for braces to straighten them? Think again. There are many new types of braces available in Elizabethtown. In some cases, teeth can be straightened in a few months and then, with braces off–a fantastic new smile.

If you are considering straightening your teeth, come into Elizabethtown Dental Associates in Elizabethtown for an orthodontic consultation. We can discuss the new types of braces. Dr. Ed White, DDS, will explain the pros and cons of each type and recommend the most effective (and quickest!) system for your teeth.

The first things most adult Leola teeth-straightening clients ask about are the newer systems, sometimes called clear braces and adults braces. Invisalign and damon braces are two brand names of alternative orthodontic systems popular in Hershey and Manheim. Many of our adult orthodontic patients have been embarrassed by their crooked teeth for many years and have developed a habit of covering their mouth when they smile. It is great to see them smiling confidently after they have completed treatment.

Younger clients usually have a different attitude about braces. They seem to consider braces more like a fashion accessory and are not afraid to show them off. Leola area teens are interested in color braces and colored rubber bands braces. During orthodontic consultations, they usually ask about the possibility of a clear retainer to maintain teeth alignment after their braces have done their job.
