Springfield Dentist

Dr Brenda Herrman has emphasized cosmetic dental treatment in her practice of exceptional general dentistry in Springfield, MO, for nearly 20 years. Although cosmetic dentistry is not an ADA-recognized specialty, it takes a specially-trained eye and a great deal of experience to produce the exceptional aesthetic dental results that Dr Herrman achieves for her patients here in Springfield and Southwest Missouri.

With many hours of post-graduate dental education at the prestigious LVI (Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies), Dr Brenda Herrman and her highly skilled and caring team create some of the most beautiful smiles in Springfield and the surrounding area.

Dr Herrman offers a wide variety of smile-enhancement services to improve or to totally makeover a smile. These include Invisalign® straightening without braces, Gentle Brite® power whitening (similar to Zoom®), Empress® metal-free veneers and crowns, and Restylane® and Perlane® dermal filler injections. Dermal fillers are one of the newest ways to fill in fine lines or scars around the mouth and to plump up and "freshen" the lips to match those gorgeous, bright smiles. More examples of these types of smile-enhancement treatments can be viewed on Dr. Herman's website.

In addition to the aesthetic or "cosmetic" aspect of Dr Brenda Herrman's practice of exceptional general dentistry, she also puts a heavy emphasis on the importance of proper jaw/bite function. Through neuromuscular dentistry (a theory of proper jaw positioning by means of electronically measuring the jaw and facial muscles), the bite can be positioned in the most comfortable and properly-functioning position which nature intended. This treatment frequently results in fewer headaches, decreased jaw pain (TMJ syndrome), more comfortable chewing, and a better range of motion. This theory can be further understood by visiting the website, www.leadingdentist.com.

Dr Brenda Herrman and her team will take the time needed with her patients fo fully understand their desired results--whether a perfect simple whitening, straightening with Invisalign®, full-smile makeovers with Empress® crowns, veneers, and bridges, or full-mouth rehabilitation to replace teeth and improve chewing function comfortably.

For that "crowning" touch, dermal fillers such as Restylane® are the answer for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth to showcase that beautiful smile. Dr Brenda Herrman is certified in the placement of Restylane® and Perlane® which are FDA-approved HA dermal fillers. HA (Hyaluronic Acid) is present in the body naturally, and it helps to fill in areas around the mouth for a more youthful, fresh, beautiful smile. The effects usually last 6-12 months before needing replenished.

A visit to the Springfield Smile Doctor, Dr Brenda Herrman, is comfortable, pleasant, and affordable. Call today at 887-5155, and you will find that "Our Smiles Say It All".

(The Missouri Dental Board requires the following statement: Dr Herrman is not a specialist in orthodontics or prosthodontics.)
