Veneers
Veneers are ultrathin custom-made porcelain laminates that go over the fronts of teeth to change the color or position of that tooth. The natural tooth is conservatively prepped prior to bonding on the veneer. A professional dental technician using high-tech materials sculpts these tooth-colored porcelain veneers for each patient.
A dramatic smile makeover, instant orthodontics or an improvement in the appearance of just one tooth can be achieved. Whatever your needs, veneers will provide a stunning smile enhancement that looks natural.
Dental Bonding/Tooth-Colored Fillings
Bonding is a process that uses a composite resin filling that is tinted to match a patient’s natural tooth color. Small gaps between the teeth, chips and cracks can be filled in so you will not notice the defect.
Cavities can be treated with this tooth-colored resin so when the filling is complete it is virtually indistinguishable from your other teeth. You can also simply replace your amalgam (silver) fillings with a tooth-colored filling to dynamically change the way your teeth look when laughing or smiling.
Porcelain Crowns/Implant Crowns
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth-colored crowns) are the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size and color or your teeth giving you a natural, beautiful smile.
An implant crown is a cap that goes over a post that extends out of an implant into the mouth. Dental implants are like a natural root and provide the foundation. An implant and implant crown function like a natural tooth.
Porcelain Fixed Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed (nonremovable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth.
There are several types of bridges. The traditional bridge is usually made of porcelain fused to metal and resemble your natural teeth. This type of bridge consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth. The fixed bridge is permanently cemented in and your new smile will be ready to go.
Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, noninvasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. We offer three options for whitening your teeth:
- Custom Whitening Trays: These trays are custom made by a member of our staff and provide you a lifetime of whitening opportunities. You are fitted and instructed how to use the trays and given a generous supply of carbamide peroxide whitening gel to get started. Optimal results usually take about three weeks and once you achieve that level you can maintain your whitened shade with regular boosts.
- In-office Whitening: This is the cutting edge of teeth whitening! A high- strength peroxide gel is applied and scrubbed directly into your teeth. The whole whitening process is expedited and its effectiveness increased. Most of our patients whiten their teeth six to eight shades in just a two-hour visit.
- Opalescence Go® Trays: This take-home whitening option features prefabricated, preloaded bleach trays for convenient on-the-go whitening. The trays conform to each individual’s smile to provide optimal coverage with whitening gel. Trays are disposable after each use. Great for use as a touch-up or for maintenance after professional whitening.
Invisalign
Invisalign® is a great alternative to traditional braces. If you have previously worn braces and have relapsed or perhaps only need minor adjustments to get your smile just the way you want it, Invisalign® clear aligners may be a great option for you.
The clear trays are worn 22 hours a day and provide slow and steady alignment of your teeth. The trays are switched out every two weeks to the next tray in your custom series. Treatment times vary from person to person. Call (864) 232-0440 today to set up your consultation and see if Invisalign® is right for you.
