Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently and gradually straighten your teeth—without the need for metal brackets or wires. Made from durable, medical-grade plastic, the aligners are virtually invisible when worn, offering a comfortable and discreet solution for improving your smile.

 

At Family Dental Care of Bellevue, we’ve been providing Invisalign treatment since 2003. Dr. Bauer and our team have completed advanced training to deliver precise, effective results tailored to each patient’s needs. We’re proud to offer Invisalign as a modern, flexible way to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted—all from the convenience of our Bellevue location.

A beautiful smile can make a lasting impression and positively impact every stage of life. If your teeth are healthy but lack the look you desire, porcelain veneers offer a stunning way to enhance your smile. These ultra-thin, durable shells are designed to cover imperfections and create a bright, balanced appearance—giving you the confident, natural-looking smile you’ve always dreamed of.

 

Dr. Bauer uses only the highest quality porcelain to ensure long-lasting results that resist staining and wear. Compared to composite bonding, porcelain veneers offer superior strength, durability, and color stability. While bonding may seem more affordable initially, veneers provide a more reliable and aesthetic long-term solution. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a dramatic transformation, veneers are a trusted choice for lasting beauty.

Composite bonding is an affordable, effective way to improve the appearance of your smile—often in just one visit. At Family Dental Care of Bellevue, Dr. Bauer uses tooth-colored composite resin to reshape teeth, close gaps, repair chips, or mask discoloration. The material, made from fine glass particles in a durable resin matrix, comes in a variety of shades to match your natural teeth and deliver a seamless result.

 

This minimally invasive procedure allows for immediate improvements with little to no tooth reduction, making it an excellent option for patients seeking quick, conservative cosmetic enhancement.

We’re excited to offer Opalescence™, a professional-grade whitening system designed to fit your lifestyle and brighten your smile safely and effectively.

 

For custom whitening, Opalescence PF gel is used with personalized trays and features a high water content to reduce sensitivity. Its thick, sticky formula stays in place, delivering consistent results and helping prevent dehydration. It also contains PF (potassium nitrate and fluoride) to strengthen enamel and improve comfort during whitening.

 

For a convenient option, Opalescence Go™ is a ready-to-use take-home system that requires no impressions or lab work. The prefilled UltraFit™ trays adapt comfortably to your smile and can be worn straight from the package—ideal for touch-ups or as a step above over-the-counter products.
