Natural Looking Restoration
Dr. Peterson takes pride in creating natural-looking beauty with every smile. He carefully discusses smile design and tooth characteristics with you, listens to your goals, and customizes the approach for each person. Involved throughout the entire process, he ensures patients get the smiles they’ve always dreamed of. This commitment is evident in our galleries of before-and-after makeovers.
Smile Makeover
Depending on your specific needs, a full smile makeover may include any combination of tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding, crowns, inlays/onlays, dental implants, laser gum contouring, botox and fillers, or orthodontics including Invisalign®. These procedures can have transformative effects on patient’s smiles.
Quality
Excellence in cosmetic dentistry is achieved through the artistry of the dentist and the quality of the materials used. Dr. Peterson has excellent training and experience in cosmetic dentistry in Park City with post-graduate training. The ceramic veneers offered by our office are crafted by master ceramists. This combination of expertise, attention to detail and materials produces beautiful cosmetic results for our patients. An approach founded in Functional Dentistry ensures your new smile will stand the test of time!
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are thin porcelain laminates custom-fitted by Dr. Peterson and affixed to the surface of your teeth. Veneers are used to fix a variety of dental problems. These problems can include broken or chipped teeth, crooked or misaligned teeth, discolored or stained teeth, gaps between teeth, and worn teeth.
Veneers are an excellent dentistry option that provide better results than the minor reparations tooth bonding provides. Porcelain veneers do not require the amount of time or commitment that is associated with braces to have straight teeth, and they are stain-resistant. Porcelain veneers give the appearance of natural teeth, and gum tissues react well to them.
Reconstruction
Most dentists will go a career without performing a full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Peterson’s education not only makes singularly qualified, notably when a bite change will improve the outcome, but At Advanced Dentistry and Aesthetics it is one of our routine services. Whether you have missing teeth, no teeth or only require some of them to be repaired, Dr. Peterson has the skills and experience needed. We have refined the process so that after the planning phase you are able to have a full mouth reconstruction completed in only two visits.
Botox & Fillers
The face and lips frame the smile, making a dentist trained in facial structure and function the ideal professional for achieving the best results with Botox, fillers, and biofillers. When a gummy smile is present, adding a fuller upper lip and using Botox to prevent the lip from rising can make a significant difference!
Laser Gum Shaping
Laser gum contouring can remove excess gum tissue around your teeth in order to show or uncover more of the natural crown of your tooth. This can result in a fuller, more complete smile for the patient simply by exposing dental tissue already there. This can be for one or two of the front teeth where the gumline isn’t even with the others, or across all the teeth showing when you smile.Not all lasers are created equally and we have some of the best in the world! Dr. Peterson has amazing tools and he performs gingivectomies on a regular basis.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening products are used to brighten teeth that have been stained, darkened, or discolored by food, tobacco use, age, or injury. There are a variety of in-office and take-home teeth whitening products on the market that can reduce or eliminate stains.
Over-the-counter products
- Rinses, toothpastes, gels and varnishes – lower-strength products that only make contact with dental surfaces for a limited amount of time.
- Whitening strips – providing a longer exposure of active ingredients to the tooth surface, whitening strips can brighten the color of teeth surfaces by a few shades – the disadvantage is the lack of a custom fit
Professional Whitening
- Teeth whitening trays – custom-made trays containing higher-grade whitening agents than are available over-the-counter
- Internal Whitening – Done when teeth have darkened after root canal therapy, the small filling that was placed after your root canal is removed, whitening material is placed internally in the office, and the filling is replaced after the procedure.

- A protective barrier is placed over the top of the gums, followed by a gel applied to the teeth and then light activated for four 15-minute sessions. We will apply desensitizing treatments following the procedure to reduce the incidence of post-treatment sensitivity.
Bonding
Bonding is a process where cosmetic filling materials are used to reshape, repair and improve the appearance of teeth. Different from porcelain veneers that are crafted by master ceramists and then bonded to the front of your teeth, bonding is done directly and built to your teeth in one appointment. Depending on the situation, one solution may be recommended over the other. Bonding can be a conservative option for you. This is one of Dr. Peterson’s favorite procedures to perform, and when you see the surprising results in our gallery, you will see his passion reflects in the results.
