Smile Design Services

Smile design improves both the appearance of your smile and your overall health. For those seeking a cosmetic dentist in Lynnwood, WA, an important part of smile design is addressing underlying health issues, such as tooth decay, so that your smile is not only beautiful but also healthy. After your oral health is restored, you and one of our smile design experts may decide to move forward with cosmetic treatments such as:

  • Dental Implants:

    Implants offer a permanent, long-term solution for missing teeth. Not only do they look and feel like natural teeth, they also maintain your facial structure and integrity.

  • Crowns:

    Porcelain crowns are the perfect restoration for cracked, chipped, or broken teeth. These natural-looking covers make imperfections in teeth entirely unnoticeable.

  • Teeth Whitening:

    We offer both at-home and in-office treatment options using the most effective teeth-whitening systems available today. All treatment options are simple and noninvasive.

  • Porcelain Veneers:

    These ultrathin, tooth-colored coverings are custom made and are fit to the front surfaces of your teeth, changing the appearance to the size and shape you desire. Veneers are perfect for fixing discolored and chipped teeth.

  • Straightening:

    Straightening your smile no longer requires years of wearing metal wires on your teeth. There are a variety of “invisible” straightening options, such as Six Month Smiles® and Spark, which allow you to have a straighter, more esthetically pleasing smile in just a matter of months.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How affordable is a smile makeover?

    The cost of a smile makeover depends on your oral health and the extent of the services you would like to receive. Fairly straightforward treatments, such as teeth whitening, cost less than more extensive applications, such as veneers.

  • Does dental insurance cover smile design and cosmetic dentistry?

    Your insurance may cover some of your smile design treatments. It’s best to check in with your provider ahead of time so you know what they will and will not cover, and how much they cover.

  • How does smile design impact my health?

    As part of your smile design treatments, your oral health will be restored. This must happen before any cosmetic work is done.

Crowns

Over time teeth can become weak or severely worn down, leading to decay, cracking, and breaking. This can cause pain and embarrassment. At Robinson Dental, Lynnwood dentist Dr. Brent Robinson can restore your teeth to the right size, shape, and strength, alleviating your discomfort in the process. A natural-looking, custom-made concealment called a dental crown can be fit to your broken tooth, returning your smile to its beautiful, natural state.

What Is a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns offer a permanent and protective solution for a damaged or broken tooth or teeth. They can be made out of a variety of materials, such as gold or acrylic resin; however, the natural look of porcelain is the preferred material for most crowns.

What Is the Procedure for Getting a Dental Crown?

The process for creating and fitting dental crowns in Lynnwood, WA, takes place over two to three visits across two or three weeks. Dr. Brent Robinson first removes all decay; then the damaged tooth is sculpted and prepared for being fit with a crown; and finally, an impression of your tooth is made for creating the custom tooth crown. You will be fit with a temporary crown while you wait for the permanent one to be made. When your crown is completed, Dr. Brent Robinson places it onto the permanent tooth, ensures the fit and look are correct, and cements it into place.


Once fit with your permanent dental crown, you’ll see that it was worth the wait. When crafted carefully and with your individual needs in mind, a permanent crown can restore your confidence, comfort, and overall quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much do crowns cost?

    The cost of a dental crown varies according to the size, location, and material it is made out of. We offer a wide variety of payment and financing options to ensure that patients in need of a crown can afford one. Call to set up a consultation and receive an estimate of what your personalized treatment will cost.

  • Are crowns temporary?

    A high-quality crown can last 10 to 20 years if properly cared for. However, if it isn’t brushed and flossed regularly, it can fracture, and the supporting tooth can still get cavities.

  • Is the procedure painful?

    At Robinson Dental, our priority is to deliver gentle, compassionate care. This commitment, combined with our sedation options, ensures that receiving a crown is a comfortable experience.

Teeth Whitening

As you age, your teeth are exposed to foods and drinks that stain them. Though your teeth may be perfectly healthy, they can appear damaged and make you look older. Fortunately, if you have deep stains or want to achieve a brighter smile quickly, Robinson Dental in Lynnwood, WA has teeth-whitening options that can help you acquire a beautiful, youthful-looking, bright smile.

Types of Tooth Stains

Tooth stains fall into two categories: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic stains are the yellow and brown stains that occur on the surface of your teeth. Intrinsic stains occur inside your teeth, making them appear gray or blue. Some surface stains can be removed with whitening toothpastes and over-the-counter teeth-whitening kits. However, these approaches are limited and can be painful or can cause tooth and gum sensitivities. For those seeking more effective solutions, professional teeth whitening in Lynnwood, WA can provide the advanced care needed to remove deeper extrinsic and intrinsic stains, especially for individuals with sensitive teeth and gums.

Professional Teeth-Whitening Options

There are several approaches to teeth bleaching that Lynnwood dentist Dr. Brent Robinson can use to help you whiten your smile by eight to 14 shades in a short amount of time.

  • In-office teeth bleaching: During your office visit, Dr. Brent Robinson will apply to your teeth the teeth-bleaching agent, typically in the form of a gel, then will use a whitening lamp to accelerate the bleaching process. Standard visits last 90 minutes.

  • At-home teeth bleaching: Dr. Brent Robinson will provide you with a teeth-bleaching gel and a mouthguard to put it in that has been customized to your bite. He will then assign a teeth-bleaching regimen for you to follow. Results typically take a little longer than the in-office option; however, the process takes place within the comfort and convenience of your own home. It typically takes 10 to 14 days to achieve the desired results with this method

Our Whitening System

Opalescence PF is a customizable teeth-whitening solution that Dr. Robinson can use to meet your unique needs. This solution is a gel that comes in four different concentrations and three different flavors for a completely personalized whitening experience. It is safe and contains potassium nitrate and fluoride, which strengthen and protect teeth, and ensures a comfortable experience, guaranteeing long-lasting effects. Comfortable, flexible, and effective — the whitening solution you have been looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does teeth whitening cost?

    The cost of teeth whitening varies according to the type of treatment you are receiving and how deep your stains are. At Robinson Dental, we will work with you to find an affordable whitening treatment that is right for you.

  • Are teeth-whitening results permanent?

    The longevity of your teeth-whitening results depends greatly on how you care for your teeth after the treatment, as well as on how often you indulge in food and drink that causes stains. Results can last anywhere from several months to three years.

  • Are there any risks or side effects associated with teeth whitening?

    Gums and teeth may become sensitive during your treatments.

Porcelain Veneers

If you feel uncomfortable interacting with strangers and friends alike because of teeth that are discolored, darkened, chipped, missing, or unevenly spaced, we have the perfect solution at Robinson Dental . As part of our commitment to helping patients achieve a smile they can be proud of, Lynnwood cosmetic dentist Dr. Brent Robinson offers porcelain veneers, a restorative treatment that can simultaneously fix your teeth’s size, shape, color, and spacing issues, restoring your confidence and quality of life.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin pieces of custom-made, highly durable, tooth-shaped porcelain or resin composite materials that adhere to the front surface of your teeth. Whether you're considering veneers in Lynnwood, WA, or exploring options elsewhere, they can improve your teeth’s appearance by changing their shade, shape, and size, so that you achieve the smile you have always wanted.

What Are Lumineers®?

Lumineers are ultrathin and highly translucent porcelain veneers. They offer a pain-free approach to whitening and reshaping your teeth. Because of their thinness, Lumineers don’t require as much reduction of the natural teeth as do traditional veneers, and their high durability makes them incredibly resilient, so they last more than 20 years. Lumineers are priced similarly to traditional veneers, giving patients a real reason to smile.

Getting Your Veneers

The entire porcelain veneer process takes place over the course of three visits.

  1. Your initial visit at Robinson Dental will include a consultation. Dr. Brent Robinson will meet with you to discuss what you do and don’t like about your teeth, and how you would like them to look. The visit may include taking x-rays and making impressions of your teeth.
  2. During your second visit, Dr. Brent Robinson will prepare your teeth for the veneers by removing some enamel and buffing the surface. A model or mold of your teeth will be made and sent to a laboratory that will construct your veneers. You’ll be fit with temporary veneers while you wait for your permanent ones to be made.
  3. Once your permanent veneers are ready, you’ll come in for your final visit to have them bonded to your existing teeth, perfecting your smile.

Before the end of your last visit, we educate you on how best to care for your beautiful new smile, whether you've received teeth whitening, implants, or veneers in Lynnwood, WA, so you can feel more confident than ever before.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much do veneers cost?

  • Are press-on veneers effective?

    Though finding a perfect fit can be difficult, press-on veneers can be temporarily effective for correcting some tooth imperfections. However, underlying oral health issues are not addressed or resolved by press-on veneers.

  • How long do veneers last?

    Porcelain veneers are incredibly durable and can last up to 20 years or more if cared for properly.

Dentures

At the Lynnwood dental office of Robinson Dental, we understand that preserving your natural smile is important for your quality of life. Sometimes, however, teeth are lost or must be extracted. When this happens, it can affect your ability to perform simple daily tasks, such as eating and speaking, as well as your self-esteem. As your partner in dental health, it is our job to help you find the tooth-replacement solution that best fits your lifestyle. For many, dentures are the perfect option.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable replacements for teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. High-quality, personalized, and well-fit dentures can restore your youthful appearance and confidence while improving your ability to eat and speak naturally.


There are a variety of denture options available today to fit every patient’s dental, personal, and financial needs. Three options are full conventional dentures, overdentures, and partial dentures.

  • Full Conventional Dentures:

    This type of denture is used to replace all teeth on one or both jaws. They are custom made to imitate your gumline and teeth, and to fit your mouth perfectly. Full dentures are one of the most affordable solutions available. The main disadvantage to this option is that they may become unstable because of the gradual bone loss that occurs after tooth loss.

  • Overdentures:

    Though slightly more expensive, overdentures are an extremely stable, long-term option. They are supported by natural teeth, if available, or by dental implants, which support the overdentures but also help maintain bone volume and your natural facial structure.

  • Partial Dentures:

    This option is possible if you have remaining teeth, and the two types are removable and fixed. Partial dentures are supported by permanent teeth or dental implants that surround a gap left by a missing tooth or teeth. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base. Permanent partial dentures are cemented to crowns that are placed on the existing teeth on either side of the gap. The removable partial denture has internal clasps that can attach to clasps placed on the crowns. This option keeps the teeth surrounding the gap from moving, and it is very stable while esthetically resembling your natural teeth.
