Old black amalgam fillings are becoming a thing of the past.
Implants
Tooth
loss doesn't have to stop your smile from saying great things
about you. Cosmetic dentistry has many tooth-replacement
options that allow you to recapture your youthful appearance
and restore the function of your teeth. One which we might
recommend is a dental implant.
Dental
implants provide a look and feel that's very close to natural
teeth. Implants are metal posts or frames surgically placed
beneath your gums. After placement, the implants fuse to
the bone of your jaw and act as artificial tooth roots.
Replacement teeth are attached to the implant.
Bleaching
The
bleaching process lightens discolored enamel and dentin.
This is the safest, most effective way to bighten your smile
-- often in one week.
Bonding
Bonding
involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to the
tooth. It can be used for cosmetic purposes or to repair
or protect teeth. Bonding is ideal for patients who have
chips or cracks in front teeth or want to make changes in
the appearance of teeth.
Composite resins are also used to protect exposed roots
which results from gum recession. They also help prevent
sensitivity to temperature changes which can occur when
roots are exposed.
Bonding is often completed in one visit and may not require
the use of anesthesia.
Sealants
Dental
sealants can play an important role in helping to prevent
some forms of tooth decay ("cavities"). The placement
of dental sealants involves your dentist bonding a plastic
coating into the grooves of your tooth (the tooth's pits
and fissures). The net result is a smoother tooth surface,
one which is less likely to trap food and plaque, as well
as one which is easier to effectively clean with a toothbrush.
Porcelain
Veneers
Porcelain
Veneers are a great way to fix front teeth and give you
that instant make-over you've been looking for.. They
are very durable and life-like. You can whiten your teeth,
close spaces and create a great smile. We can even
do virtually instant orthodontics to straighten crooked
teeth and create a great smile.
