• Cosmetic Dentistry

  Cosmetic Dentistry Enhance Your Smile. Boost Your Confidence. ​ At Royal Oak Smiles, we believe your smile should reflect the confidence and vitality you feel within. Our cosmetic dentistry services are thoughtfully designed to enhance the natural beauty of your teeth—helping you achieve a smile that looks and feels like the best version of you. Whether you're interested in brightening your teeth, correcting imperfections, or making subtle enhancements, Dr. Dolores Baran and our experienced team are here to guide you. We take a personalized approach to every treatment, carefully considering your goals, lifestyle, and budget to create a plan that’s tailored to your unique needs. With advanced techniques and a strong focus on aesthetics and function, we’re proud to offer results that are not only beautiful, but long-lasting. Our Services Porcelain Veneers Porcelain veneers are a highly effective solution for transforming the appearance of chipped, discolored, uneven, or worn teeth. These thin, custom-crafted shells are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to create a beautifully balanced, natural-looking smile. At Royal Oak Smiles, we use high-quality porcelain materials that mimic the translucency and strength of natural enamel. Dr. Baran will work closely with you to design a smile that enhances your facial features and complements your overall appearance. SureSmile® Clear Aligners Achieve a straighter, more confident smile with SureSmile® An advanced clear aligner system designed to gently and precisely move your teeth into alignment. SureSmile offers an effective, nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces, making it a great option for both adults and teens who want a more discreet orthodontic solution. At Royal Oak Smiles, Dr. Baran creates a customized SureSmile treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. The aligners are comfortable, removable, and designed for convenience—so you can continue enjoying your favorite foods and maintain your oral hygiene with ease. Cosmetic Bonding Cosmetic dental bonding is a simple and effective way to restore the appearance of teeth with minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. Using a durable, tooth-colored composite resin, Dr. Baran can carefully sculpt and blend the material to match your natural teeth—enhancing both shape and color. This minimally invasive treatment is typically completed in a single visit, offering immediate results with little to no downtime. Cosmetic bonding is a cost-effective option for patients seeking subtle yet impactful improvements to their smile. Gum Contouring Gum contouring is a precise cosmetic procedure designed to reshape uneven or excessive gum tissue, revealing a more balanced and harmonious smile. Whether you have a “gummy” smile or an irregular gum line, this treatment gently sculpts the gums to enhance the natural proportions of your teeth. Dr. Baran uses advanced techniques to ensure a comfortable experience and beautifully refined results. Gum contouring can make a dramatic difference in the overall aesthetics of your smile—helping you feel more confident every time you show it. Botox® At Royal Oak Smiles, we offer cosmetic Botox treatments to complement your dental care by softening fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and jaw. Botox helps create a smoother, more youthful appearance, enhancing your overall smile aesthetics and facial harmony. In addition to its cosmetic benefits, Botox is an effective treatment option for managing TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders. By relaxing the muscles responsible for jaw tension and spasms, Botox can help alleviate symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding (bruxism), improving comfort and function. Administered by trained professionals, Botox is a safe, minimally invasive therapy that supports both your appearance and oral health—helping you look and feel your best. Tooth Bling At Royal Oak Smiles, we offer custom tooth gems as a safe and non-invasive way to personalize your smile. Using a gentle bonding process, these decorative accents are carefully applied to the surface of your tooth without causing any damage to your enamel. Tooth gems provide a subtle yet stylish way to express your individuality while maintaining your oral health. Our team ensures precise placement and offers guidance on care to keep your smile shining bright.

Whether used to repair a fractured tooth, support a large filling, or enhance a dental implant, our expertly fabricated crowns ensure durability, comfort, and an aesthetic result that complements your overall oral health. Dental Bridges We offer dental bridges as an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Carefully anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, bridges restore the integrity, function, and appearance of your smile. Our custom-crafted bridges are designed to provide a durable, natural-looking restoration that supports proper chewing, speaking, and overall oral health—helping you regain confidence and comfort. Tooth-Colored Fillings We use tooth-colored composite fillings to discreetly repair cavities and restore the health of your teeth. These strong, long-lasting restorations are carefully matched to the shade of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result. Composite fillings not only strengthen the affected tooth but also help preserve its natural structure, ensuring both function and appearance are maintained. Dental Implants We offer dental implants as a reliable and long-lasting solution to replace missing teeth. Unlike traditional restorations, implants restore teeth from the root up, providing superior stability and function. Dental implants help preserve jawbone health by stimulating bone growth, preventing bone loss that commonly occurs after tooth loss. Customized to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, implants restore both the appearance and strength of your smile for lasting confidence and oral health. Dentures and Partials We provide custom full and partial dentures designed to restore both the function and appearance of your smile.

Dr. Baran works closely with trusted specialists when needed to ensure you receive the best possible care every step of the way. Our Services Tooth Extractions When a tooth is severely damaged or cannot be restored, a gentle and carefully performed extraction may be the best solution to relieve pain and protect your overall oral health. We prioritize your comfort and safety throughout the process, using advanced techniques to ensure a smooth experience. Dr. Baran and our experienced team will guide you through every step, from evaluation to recovery, and provide personalized options for replacing the extracted tooth to restore both function and appearance. Wisdom Teeth Removal We provide thorough wisdom teeth evaluations and safe, effective removal when necessary.

If extraction is recommended, our team ensures a gentle, stress-free experience with personalized care before, during, and after the procedure—all conveniently provided right here in Royal Oak. Dental Implant Placement Dental implants offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. We use implants to restore not only the appearance and function of your smile but also to support long-term oral health by preserving jawbone structure and preventing bone loss. Designed to mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth, dental implants provide exceptional stability and durability. Dr. Baran customizes each treatment to ensure optimal results that blend seamlessly with your smile and improve your overall quality of life. Bone Grafting Bone grafting is a specialized procedure used to restore and strengthen the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for dental implants and supporting overall oral health. We perform bone grafting to rebuild areas where bone loss has occurred due to tooth loss, periodontal disease, or injury. By reinforcing the jawbone, this treatment not only enables successful implant placement but also helps preserve facial structure and prevent further bone deterioration. Dr. Baran will evaluate your needs and develop a personalized treatment plan to ensure lasting, healthy results. Socket Preservation Socket preservation is an advanced procedure performed immediately after a tooth extraction to help maintain the surrounding bone and gum tissue. We use this technique to prevent bone loss and preserve the natural contours of your jaw—creating a stable foundation for future restorations, such as dental implants or bridges. By preserving the extraction site, Dr. Baran helps ensure better long-term outcomes for both function and aesthetics, supporting a healthy, confident smile well into the future. IV Sedation Your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities—especially during surgical or complex dental procedures. We offer IV sedation as a safe and effective option to help you feel deeply relaxed throughout your treatment. Administered and closely monitored by trained professionals, IV sedation allows you to remain conscious but at ease, with little to no memory of the procedure. It’s ideal for patients with dental anxiety, those undergoing longer procedures, or individuals who have difficulty tolerating dental treatment while awake. We also offer sedation options for patients with special needs, ensuring they receive the compassionate, individualized care they deserve in a safe and supportive environment.

• Periodontics

  Your gums are the foundation of your oral health - At Royal Oak Smiles, we’re committed to protecting them. Our practice offers comprehensive periodontal care to prevent, manage, and treat all stages of gum disease, helping to preserve both your smile and your overall well-being. From preventive deep cleanings to advanced regenerative procedures, our in-office periodontist delivers expert care using the latest techniques and a gentle, personalized approach. By addressing gum health at its root, we help ensure the long-term stability and beauty of your smile. Our Services Scaling and Root Planing Also referred to as a “deep cleaning,” scaling and root planing is a non-surgical periodontal therapy used to treat the early stages of gum disease. This thorough procedure removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line and smooths the root surfaces to promote healing and reattachment of the gums. We perform scaling and root planing with precision and care to help stop the progression of gum disease, reduce inflammation, and support long-term oral health. Periodontal Maintenance After treatment for gum disease, routine periodontal maintenance is essential for preserving the health of your gums and preventing recurrence. These specialized cleanings go beyond standard dental hygiene visits to remove plaque and bacteria from below the gum line, helping to control inflammation and maintain periodontal stability. We tailor your maintenance schedule to your specific needs, ensuring continued support for your oral and overall health. Gum Grafting Soft tissue grafting is an effective procedure to restore receding gums and safeguard exposed tooth roots. By replenishing lost gum tissue, gum grafts help reduce sensitivity, prevent further gum recession, and enhance the overall health of your mouth. In addition to its protective benefits, soft tissue grafting improves the appearance of your smile by creating a more even and natural gum line. Dr. Baran provides expert care with a focus on both function and aesthetics to help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. Bone Grafting Regenerative bone grafting is a specialized procedure designed to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone, supporting successful dental implant placement or restoring bone loss caused by advanced gum disease. Using precise techniques and high-quality grafting materials, Dr. Baran helps restore the natural contours and integrity of your jawbone. This treatment not only enhances the foundation for durable implant restorations but also contributes to improved oral health and facial structure. Crown Lengthening Crown lengthening is a precise procedure that exposes more of your natural tooth by reshaping the surrounding gum tissue and underlying bone. This treatment is often performed to improve the aesthetics of your smile or to provide adequate tooth structure for restorative procedures such as crowns or bridges. Dr. Baran ensures a balanced, harmonious gum line that enhances both the function and appearance of your teeth. Laser Gum Treatment We utilize state-of-the-art laser technology to gently remove infected gum tissue and stimulate healing for patients affected by periodontal disease. This minimally invasive approach allows for precise treatment with reduced discomfort, faster recovery times, and improved clinical outcomes. Dr. Baran employs laser therapy as part of a comprehensive periodontal care plan to effectively manage gum disease and promote long-term oral health.
