✨ A smile transformation worth sharing.
Creating a new smile isn’t always about one procedure. Sometimes, it takes a comprehensive approach to bring everything together.

For this smile design, a combination of new crowns, bridges, and a dental implant was used to restore the patient’s smile—and the difference speaks for itself.

At Hite Family Dentistry, we love being able to look at the bigger picture and create a treatment plan designed around each patient’s individual needs.

Dental anxiety can make even scheduling an appointment feel overwhelming—especially after a difficult experience in the past.

We’re grateful this patient trusted our team to listen to their concerns, take their anxiety seriously, and work together on a treatment plan they felt comfortable with. 💙

If nervousness has been keeping you from getting the dental care you need, know that you deserve a dental experience where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable moving forward.

And these are only the temporaries. 🤯

This full-mouth transformation is already pretty incredible — and we haven’t even reached the final result yet.

With full-mouth implant treatment and hybrid dentures, the temporary phase gives our patients teeth to wear while we work toward their final restoration. This patient is still in that phase, but the before and after already speaks for itself.

We can’t wait to see this case through to the finish. 🦷✨

Considering dental implants or wondering what options exist when many or all of your teeth need to be replaced? Schedule a consultation with our team to find out what may be possible for you.

🍎✏️ Back to school, HFD edition!

In honor of the first day of school, we did a little math of our own… and calculated how many days each of us has spent taking care of smiles at this office. 🦷💙

From 8 days to more than 8,000, we have quite the range! And here’s a fun fact: a few familiar faces have actually been at this office longer than Dr. Hite — they were part of the practice before he took the reins!

👀 Swipe through to see everyone’s numbers. Did you spot who’s been here the longest?

And for a little extra credit… how many of our team members do you think were here before Dr. Hite? Drop your guess below! 👇

Wishing all of our local students, teachers, staff and families a great first day and an amazing school year! 📚🍎

Your smile is more than just your teeth. ✨

This before & after shows a gum pinkening procedure performed by Dr. Marisa at Hite Family Dentistry.

Also known as gum depigmentation, this cosmetic treatment reduces areas of darker pigmentation caused by melanin in the gum tissue, creating a more even, natural-looking pink appearance.

At HFD, we use the Solea® CO₂ laser to precisely treat the superficial pigmented tissue. This minimally invasive approach typically involves little bleeding and can reduce the need for traditional anesthetic injections compared with surgical alternatives.

Gum pigmentation itself is completely benign — treatment is elective and simply an option for patients who would prefer a different appearance for their smile.

And yes… cosmetic dentistry can go beyond the teeth. 🙌

Interested in learning whether gum pinkening could be an option for you? Contact Hite Family Dentistry to schedule a consultation.

Individual results vary. Gum pigmentation may return over time.
