The Basics of Cosmetic Dentistry

Porcelain Veneers: Imagine having a beautiful, straight smile. In the skilled hands of your cosmetic dentist, porcelain veneers provide you with an improved, brilliant smile in just a few appointments. Porcelain veneers are thin strips of porcelain that are adhered to the surface of the teeth, giving them a fresh, bright appearance. After minimal tooth preparation, your dentist places the veneers on the front of your teeth, bonding them into place. Veneers can improve the alignment of the teeth and can be positioned to eliminate small gaps and spaces between teeth, giving you a younger, healthier look, without braces and retainers.

Tooth Whitening: You may be happy with the alignment and spacing of your teethbut years of coffee drinking, smoking or eating dark, juicy foods have left stains. Tooth whitening may be all that stands between you and a dazzling smile. Your cosmetic dentist will suggest one of several tooth-whitening techniques, depending on factors like your desired results, the time you can devote to the process and the cost of the procedure.

Zoom! Advanced Power: Zoom! whitening is a revolutionary new procedure that will give you brighter, whiter teeth in a single office visit. Zoom! whitening involves the application of a proprietary gel that, when exposed to a specialized light source, breaks down the stains on your teeth, leaving you with a beautiful smile. Most Zoom! whitening treatments take no more than an hour or so. With the amenities at your dental office, you will be comforted with a warm blanket, relaxing eye mask, soothing music, and aromatherapy candle. You can also watch a movie if you so desire. At the end of whitening procedure, you will also be pampered by special formulated vitamin E enriched lip balm and a warm face towel to make your whitening experience a truly special one.

At Home: You may choose to have your dentist customize a home whitening treatment for you. Your dentist will mold a small tray for your mouth and prescribe a whitening gel that is placed into the tray and pressed into position around your teeth. Youll be instructed to wear the tray for several hours per day, or overnight, for up to four weeks. By the conclusion of your treatment, you will see a brighter, more youthful-looking smile.

For the ultimate whitening experience, your dentist recommends the combination of Zoom Advanced Power whitening and at-home whitening. The Zoom Advanced Power whitening jump-starts the whitening program and the whitening is maintained by following up with the take home treatment. In this fashion, fading is eliminated and you can have sparkling white teeth for a lifetime.

Dental Implants: Missing teeth cause loss of bone and muscle structure in the mouth and face. If you are missing a tooth or have severe problems with a tooth, you will begin to chew differently, putting pressure on other areas of your mouth. Your remaining healthy teeth may shift as well, causing gaps and spaces in your teeth that make your problem worse.

Regardless of the reason or the number of teeth involved, dental implants can restore your health and rejuvenate your smile. The implant itself is a specialized, surgical grade titanium post that is inserted into the bone that lies beneath the gums. During healing, the bone bonds to the post creating a firm foundation for a denture. The new tooth is shaped and shaded to match the rest of your teeth, restoring the look and function of your smile. Implants also reduce bone loss in the supportive structures of your mouth, improving your overall appearance and health in the future.
