Cosmetic Dentistry

smile photo
A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of your face. Even a subtle change can make a big difference in the way you look and feel. New techniques like bleaching, bonding, enamel shaping, Lumineers and Veneers, and
white fillings allow us to create a beautiful smile with minimal changes to existing teeth.

 



The Latest Trend in Orthodontics is No Braces at All!

Adult "invisible braces" (which are not really braces at all, but clear plastic retainers) are a new technique for adults to obtain the results of braces without wearing braces! This technique, which is effective only for mild to moderate crowding, utilizes a series of retainers (computer generated or lab constructed) that are worn sequentially until the desired correction is achieved.

Nobel Biocare Single Visit Implants

Nobel Biocare provides a versatile range of implants, suited to every indication you could encounter and all designed to deliver Beautiful Teeth Now™.
This concept makes it possible for patients to leave the dentist directly after implant placement with their new teeth in place – ready to eat, drink and smile

before and afterLumineers & Veneers are custom, porcelain facings that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to whiten teeth, close spaces, straighten teeth, or repair chipped or worn teeth. The veneers are only about 1 mm thick (the thickness of a fingernail). That same thickness is "shaved" off the natural tooth surface so when the veneer is bonded to the tooth, the tooth doesn't feel or look "thicker".


before and afterWhite fillings replace silver or gold fillings with a more natural looking tooth-colored material. Since teeth are translucent, dark fillings cause the whole tooth to appear darker when viewed from the side. Replacing older dark fillings with white fillings will keep your smile glowing!


before and afterBleaching (Whitening) is a very popular procedure in cosmetic dentistry. It is a simple, effective, permanent technique for obtaining a dazzling, whiter smile at home in a matter of days.

before and afterBonding is simply adding a little tooth-colored material to "fill in the blanks." One of the most frequent uses of the bonding technique is to fill in a gap between front teeth.

 


before and afterEnamel Shaping (Contouring) is the process of shaping natural teeth to improve their appearance. Shaping can be used to correct minor cases of crowded or overlapping teeth, smooth rough edges, or make small adjustments to the shape of a tooth.

before and afterCaps (Crowns) are rarely used for cosmetic correction any more, since the advent of veneers, but in some cases a crown may be necessary for a particular tooth. A tooth with a bad fracture or a large filling that is breaking down, or has decay around it, may be a candidate for a crown instead of a veneer. This patient has veneers on top, but one of the front teeth had a large filling and had to be crowned.


before and afterOrthodontics is no longer just braces. Arch expanders can sometimes be used in younger children to prevent or minimize any need for braces. A patient that needs braces now has a choice of silver or white/clear brackets. Retainers may be used to help maintain straight teeth. Adults now have the option of wearing an "invisible" retainer to correct mild to moderate crowding.
