Porcelain veneers are very strong,
thin shells of porcelain that bond directly to the front
surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving
your smile while making your teeth stronger. Many patients
prefer veneers because they require such minimal tooth
reduction compared to a crown.
What are inlays and onlays?
Inlays and onlays can be made of laboratory cast porcelain
or gold. These pieces are bonded to the damaged area
of the tooth. An inlay, which is similar to a filling,
is used inside the cusp tips of the tooth. An onlay is
similar to the inlay but extends out over one or more
of the cusps of the tooth to provide more strength to
weakened teeth. Inlays and onlays allow for less tooth
removal than a crown while providing the same strength.
What is bonding?
Bonding is an alternative to veneers, and can be used
as a short term restorative procedure for teeth that
are chipped, cracked, discolored or turned and twisted.
Dental implants are designed
to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look,
feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has
lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything
and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear
natural and that facial contours will be preserved.
It's safe, easy and quick. Just
let us know at any appointment if you would like to begin
whitening. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both
the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when
you talk and smile. Most people however, whiten both the
upper and lower arches so they match.
All of your teeth play an important
role in speaking, chewing and in maintaining proper alignment
of other teeth. Tooth loss doesn't necessarily have to
occur as you age, but if you do lose teeth, they must be
replaced to maintain proper function of your mouth. Fortunately,
there are options for correcting tooth loss that also look
great.
Most dentistry looks like dentistry.
Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable.
We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations
that look and feel like natural, beautiful teeth. Where
damage to a person's teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond
repair, we can use porcelain crowns to make the smile appear "as
new".
Everyone knows that plastic surgery
can reduce the telltale signs of aging. But radical surgery
can be both painful and time consuming. These days cosmetic
dentistry has revolutionized the pursuit of beauty, youth
and self-esteem, as a non-invasive practical alternative
to what plastic surgeons have offered for years. New cosmetic
agents are at our disposal, such as Botox and non-animal-based
dermal fillers.
Invisalign is a teeth alignment method that involves the use of a series of clear, medical-grade plastic aligners that are practically invisible when worn. They are custom-designed for each individual patient. These aligners are changed at two-week intervals and are designed to gradually move teeth into proper alignment.
