• Facial Symmetry

  The first law of beauty is symmetry… Symmetry is part of a Perfect Smile. What happens when we don’t have symmetry in our face? When one eye is more round, and one is longer? When our eyes, teeth, and/or lips are not parallel with the horizon? Until very recently, surgery was the only alternative for correcting facial asymmetry. Thanks to an amazing new dental technique, most cases of facial asymmetry can now be corrected without surgery! It’s real, it works, we’re excited about it, and we’re the only ones in New England certified to bring this technique to you! If you are a candidate, incorporating these changes while creating a new smile can be accomplished very quickly, sometimes within one month! Simple, non-invasive tests can tell us if you are a candidate for this procedure. A symmetrical face and smile are the main ingredients in beauty and elegance. Why is this important? Because we are attracted to this, we gravitate to these smiles. It gives us a new level of confidence which boosts our self-esteem. We smile more, which improves our relationships, in both personal and business realms. If you’re interested in restoring facial symmetry as part of your smile makeover, call us!

• Dental Sleep Medicine

  Our commitment to improved general health has driven research and treatment of sleep apnea related issues. For our patients that have mild to moderate sleep apnea and snoring there is an alternative to CPAP therapy, as many people are CPAP intolerant. New oral appliances help to reduce snoring and open airway for proper ventilation to alleviate apnea/hypopnea which are a major contributor to heart attack, congestive heart failure, hypertension, stroke and higher incidence of work and driving related accidents.

  Technology has literally changed dentistry. Dr. Houghton employs the latest technology and techniques in materials and treatments available today. These are some of the advancements we offer at Perfect Smiles: Lasers Lasers catapult procedures into the 21st century by changing methods to achieve much better processes and results. This translates to less invasive procedures that heal more rapidly and are so much more comfortable. The use of lasers in dentistry allows precise sculpting of gums for improved aesthetic results, as well as a much gentler process for patients when we place implants. These are just a few of the uses of lasers in dentistry today. Digital Radiography These x-rays use 90% less radiation compared to standard dental x-ray equipment. And since the images are taken with and stored in a computer, no chemicals are needed, making the equipment environmentally friendly.
