Great Services and A Smile
We offer Redmond cosmetic dentistry and general care to help you achieve a healthy, radiant smile.
General Dentistry for the Whole Family
During your 45-minute dental exam, we will:
- Check for any problems that you may not see or feel
- Look for cavities or any other signs of tooth decay
- Inspect your teeth and gums for signs of periodontal disease
- Provide a thorough teeth cleaning
Each regular exam includes a detailed teeth cleaning, in which we will clean, polish, and rinse your teeth to remove any tartar and plaque that has built up on the tooth’s surface. As part of our commitment to staying on the cusp of dental techniques, we use advanced digital x-ray and intraoral camera technology to save time, provide clear dental photos, and expose you to less radiation.
There are two different kinds of fillings: direct and indirect. Direct fillings are fillings placed directly into a prepared cavity in a single visit. Indirect fillings require two or more visits. These fillings include inlays and veneers fabricated with ceramics or composites.
An implant is a new natural-looking tooth made of metal and porcelain. It’s composed of two main parts: One part is the titanium implant body that takes the place of the missing root, and the second part is the tooth-colored crown, which is cemented on top of the implant. With periodontal treatment, you can smile confidently knowing no one will ever suspect you have a replacement tooth.
There are two types of dentures: full and partial. Full dentures are given to patients when all of the natural teeth have been removed. Partial dentures are attached to a metal frame that is connected to your natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed. We offer implants to anchor dentures that may be shifting and promote a more natural-looking smile.
Use a gentle cleanser to brush your dentures, always keep them moist when they’re not in use, and be sure to keep your tongue and gums clean as well.
Root canal treatment involves one to three visits in which our Redmond dentist removes the affected tissue, cleans the interior of the tooth, and seals it. Finally, the tooth is filled with a dental composite and occasionally a crown. With proper care, your restored tooth can last a lifetime.
Sealants give your teeth extra protection against decay and help prevent cavities. This plastic resin bonds and hardens in the deep groves of your tooth’s surface. This makes the groves smoother and makes brushing more effective.
Sealants last 3-5 years and are typically applied to children’s teeth as a preventive measure after the permanent teeth have erupted as a way to prevent tooth decay. However, adults also can receive sealants on healthy teeth.
Once a tooth has been removed, neighboring teeth may shift, causing problems with chewing or with your jaw joint function. To avoid these complications, we may recommend that you replace the extracted tooth with an implant.
To remove a wisdom tooth, your dentist first needs to numb the area around the tooth and a remove a portion of the covering bone. Once removed the healing time varies depending on the degree of difficulty related to the extraction.

Impressive Redmond Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials (such as porcelain) designed to cover the front side of your teeth. To prepare for veneers, Dr. Frost will create a model of your teeth and send it to the dental technician to create your veneers. When ready, we may need to conservatively prepare your tooth to achieve the desired aesthetic result. Then we place the veneer and you get a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
A crown is a porcelain or metal “cap” custom-made in a lab and cemented onto an existing tooth that usually covers the portion of your tooth above the gum line. Porcelain crowns are most often preferred because they mimic the translucency of natural teeth, are very strong, and allow for a normal bite and jaw movements.
The success of any bridge depends on its foundation — the other teeth, gums, or bone to which it is attached. Therefore, it’s critical to keep your existing teeth, gums, and jaw healthy and strong.
Bonding is less expensive than other Redmond cosmetic dentistry treatments and usually can be completed in one visit to our office.
This modern whitening system is safe, efficient, and personalized to you. The process uses advanced LED light-activated technology and variable intensity settings, which has been shown to whiten teeth by up to eight shades in one visit.

There a two common solutions: full or partial dentures. Full dentures give patients the opportunity to restore their smile when all teeth are missing. Whereas, partial dentures are connected to natural teeth via a metal frame and replace a section of missing teeth.
Frost Family Dentistry also offers implants to anchor dentures that move or shift around. This promotes comfort and produces a healthy smile.
The ideal solution for many patients is Dental Implants. These implants have a 98% success rate and provide a long-lasting, natural-looking resolution to those with a missing tooth.
The strong titanium implant body replaces the missing root and the tooth-colored crown is placed on top – it is that simple to get your smile back.
Straight Teeth Without Braces
We are your certified Invisalign® provider in Redmond. Get your complimentary consultation today!
Invisalign® uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing.
Why would I want it?
Not only are the aligners comfortable and invisible, but they are also removable, so you can brush, floss, eat, and drink as normal. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problems. There are no metal and wires, and you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments.
How does it work?
Invisalign® is made with 3D computer imaging technology and allows you to view your treatment plan. The process requires you to wear each set of aligners for about two weeks. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened. You’ll visit our office less than you would for traditional braces and the total treatment time averages 9-15 months – super fast!
