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.
