PORCELAIN VENEERS
Porcelain veneers are one of the easiest and most effective ways to quickly improve the appearance of your smile. Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile providing natural looking results.
Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile.
Reasons for porcelain veneers:
- Cosmetically, to create a uniform, white, beautiful smile
- Crooked teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Severely discolored or stained teeth
- Teeth that are too small or large
- Unwanted or uneven spaces
- Worn or chipped teeth
DENTAL BONDING
Minimal-Prep & No-Prep Veneers
In the past, veneers required some shaving down of your natural tooth so that your smile did not look too bulky. However, in certain cases we can create ultrathin veneers made of highly aesthetic resin. These ultrathin veneers require little to no removal of your enamel providing the aesthetics and function you desire without affecting the structure of your teeth.
INLAY & ONLAY
An inlay restoration is a custom-made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain. Porcelain inlays are popular because they resemble your natural tooth. A porcelain inlay is made by a professional dental laboratory and is permanently cemented into the tooth by your dentist. Inlays can be utilized to conservatively repair teeth that have large defective fillings or have been damaged by decay or trauma. Also, they are more conservative than crowns because less tooth structure is removed in the preparation of inlays.
Reasons for inlay restorations:
- Broken or fractured teeth
- Cosmetic enhancement
- Decayed teeth
- Fractured fillings
- Large fillings
An onlay restoration is a custom made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain. Porcelain onlays are popular because they resemble your natural tooth. An onlay is sometimes also referred to as a partial crown. Porcelain onlays are made by a professional dental laboratory and is permanently cemented onto the tooth by your dentist. Onlays are an ideal alternative to crowns (caps) because less tooth structure is removed in the preparation of onlays. Onlays are essentially identical to inlays with the exception that one or more of the chewing cusps have also been affected and need to be included in the restoration.
Reasons for onlay restorations:
- Broken or fractured teeth
- Cosmetic enhancement
- Decayed teeth
- Fractured fillings
- Large fillings
TEETH WHITENING
Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Our professional teeth whitening treatments utilize a powerful yet safe whitening gel that is applied to the surface of your teeth.
Professional teeth whitening can give you a noticeably whiter smile that will boost your self-esteem and help you smile with pride.
Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.
Tooth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up maybe needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.
Reasons for tooth whitening:
- Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development).
- The natural aging processes
- Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.).
- Yellow, brown stained teeth.
Whitening can get your smile looking its best. You should look for a whitening procedure that is:
- Fast and convenient
- Long lasting
- Low sensitivity
- Proven to be safe and effective
- Performed by a Dental Professional
COSMETIC DENTAL FILLINGS
A composite (tooth colored) dental filling is used to repair teeth with minor fractures or decay providing the aesthetics and function of the teeth. Composite fillings are made with a mixture of quartz or glass, which creates a strong and aesthetically-pleasing filling. Cosmetic Composites are resin material that can be reshaped and cured with a special light matching your natural color.
Advantages of composites:
- Aesthetics — the shade/color of the composite fillings can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth. Composites are particularly well suited for use in front teeth or visible parts of teeth.
- Bonding to tooth structure — composite fillings micro-mechanically bond to tooth structure, providing further support.
- Versatility — in addition to use as a filling material for decay, composite fillings can also be used to repair chipped, broken, or worn teeth.
- Tooth-sparing preparation — sometimes less tooth structure needs to be removed compared with amalgam fillings when removing decay and preparing for the filling.
Reasons for composite fillings:
- Chipped teeth
- Closing space between two teeth
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Decayed teeth
- Worn teeth
GINGIVA SCULPTING
Gingival sculpting, also known as gingival contouring, is the process of reshaping the gum tissue around your teeth.
The result is healthy and natural-looking gums for a vital, young-looking and attractive smile that adds to your confidence and appeal.
Sculpting procedures can be performed for cosmetic reasons, as well as for oral health reasons such as poor dental hygiene. Common aesthetic problems that can be corrected include gummy smile (excessive gingival display), uneven (asymmetrical) gingival contours, the loss of papillae (small amounts of gum tissue between your teeth) and exposed root surfaces.
