Veneers
Veneers are an excellent way to
redesign and reshape your entire mouth. Veneers are a very thin ceramic shell
that covers your existing tooth structure. In placing these new veneers on your
teeth, you are able to fix the look of issues such as staining, cracked teeth,
spaces, misaligned teeth, chipped teeth and many other issues.
In terms of the process to place
veneers, it is a process that takes approximately two to three visits. In the
first visit, we will discuss the new shape and look of what we are going to
accomplish by placing the veneers. Once we have put a plan in place, we will
carefully prepare the teeth for the placement of the new veneers. As we
complete this piece of the process, the next step is to take an impression of
the newly prepared teeth. This impression will be sent to our laboratory for
the final product to be fabricated. We only utilize the highest standard
laboratory for fabrication of all of our work. This process at the laboratory
takes between 10-14 days. While the new veneers are being fabricated at the
lab, we will provide you with a beautiful temporary solution to wear for this
time.
As the veneers are finalized, we
will make every effort to make sure that your new veneers will feel just like your
natural teeth. We will bond them into place ensuring that you can enjoy your
new smile for a very long time!
Whitening
Keeping our teeth their whitest
is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other
foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper
maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Tooth whitening is an
excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them
whiter than your natural color if you would like.
To accomplish the whitening of
your teeth, we utilize a tray whitening system. This tray whitening system is
completed in 2 steps. The first step is to make an impression of your teeth.
With this impression, we'll craft you custom whitening trays that you can use
over and over. Finally, you will take the whitening gel and put it in the gel
for a short period of time over a period of a few days. This often results in a
whiter smile of 4 - 8 shades!
Bonding and White Fillings
Bonding is a popular method to
enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Bonding can be used to correct cracks or
gaps in teeth, as a filling after a cavity has been removed, or to cover up
stains or discolored teeth.
A composite resin is used on the
affected tooth or teeth. It is molded and sculpted over an adhesive gel that is
placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied an, LED light is used to
harden the resin, which is then polished to give you a fresh, new smile.
Bonding is an obvious improvement
over unsightly silver amalgam fillings. With the advancements in dental
technology, bonding usually lasts for over 10 years. It is a safe, affordable,
and attractive solution for many dental problems.
