Dr. Jim Porter – A Cosmetic Dentist And Cerec Dentist In Littleton, Colorado

If you’d like to have a dental crown placed in just one visit, thanks to Cerec technology…you’ve come to the right place. Dr. Jim Porter travels around the country to train other cosmetic dentists on Cerec, and he was one of the first cosmetic dentists in the country to start using this amazing technology. Needless to say, he’s mastered the art of creating beautiful, natural-looking porcelain crowns, veneers, and restorations!

 

Offering Cerec Dentistry

If you’ve ever had a crown placed, you know what a hassle it can be. Multiple trips to the dentist, goop in your mouth to make impressions for the lab, days or weeks of wearing a temporary crown. All of that’s been eliminated, thanks to Cerec. You can now have a crown or restoration placed in just one visit to the dentist, one that will look stunning, feel natural, and perform well. There’s no metal in a Cerec restoration, yet they’re strong and durable. Because the Cerec technology used to mill the dental crown or restoration is so precise, more of your healthy tooth structure is preserved.

 

Cosmetic Dentistry

In addition to Cerec, we offer all types of cosmetic dentistry. From porcelain veneers to teeth whitening, composite fillings to complete smile makeovers, today’s cosmetic dentistry options are exciting. Thanks to superior equipment, techniques, and cosmetic materials, we can create the smile you’ve always wanted. Just tell one of our dentists, Dr. Porter or Dr. Durbon, what you want, and we’ll show you how you can achieve a dazzling smile.

 

Implant Dentistry

Dr. Porter and Dr. Durbon are also highly skilled at implant dentistry, which offers an alternative to bridges and dentures. If you’ve lost one or more teeth due to illness, injury, or dental disease, implant dentistry can help restore full, healthy function. Artificial substitutes for tooth roots, dental implants offer the best solution for missing teeth.
