  • Tooth Extractions — Tooth extractions may be necessary for severe damage, infection, or crowding. The area is fully numbed for a painless procedure, and healing begins as a protective blood clot forms.
  • Veneers — Thin, custom-made porcelain shells that cover the front of teeth, improving color, shape, and overall appearance.
  • Wisdom Teeth Extraction

These cosmetic dental solutions will blend perfectly with your teeth and provide you with noticeable results.

Cosmetic Dentistry Focused on Natural Results 

Each smile makeover starts with a consultation. As a University of Washington-trained dentist with years of hands-on patient experience, Dr. Backus takes notice of details such as the shape, color, spacing, and how well the smile contours to the face. The goal is never to produce a smile makeover that is a “one-size-fits-all” look, but a smile that is natural and truly feels like you.
