Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry includes a variety of dental treatments aimed at improving the appearance of the teeth, using bleaching, bonding, veneers, reshaping, orthodontics, or implants.

Single Tooth Implants

Many people have lost teeth to injury or disease. As a result, these people live their lives not being able to chew, speak or smile without feeling self-conscious. Dental implants are a great way to replace these teeth, giving you a great smile.

An implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the bone socket in your jaw to work as the root of the tooth. For 8-12 weeks the bone in your jaw heals and grows around the implant, securing it into your jaw. Once the implant is secured to the jaw bone, the dentist will install an abutment. The abutment is a cylinder that screws onto the implant so that the artificial tooth, bridge or denture can attach to the implant. The dentist will then take an impression or a mold of your mouth. It will then be sent to a lab where they will create a tooth, bridge or denture that will match your other teeth and fit onto the implant. In the meantime, the dentist will place a temporary tooth over the implant. Once the teeth come back from the lab, they are secured onto the implant to make the final result: a beautiful smile.

Implants are a great option and work for about 98% of patients, sometimes requiring other procedures to make the implant work. It is a process that takes time but the end result is a beautiful smile that will last you a very long time.

 

 

Teeth Whitening

Today's teeth whitening treatments are so easy, convenient and affordable that they've become a regular part of everyone's beauty routine. If you haven't tried one yet, you'll be happy to know that you have plenty of choices. For the fastest, most dramatic results, consider laser teeth whitening. Laser teeth whitening treatments take just an hour and can whiten teeth up to 10 shades. If you're the do-it-yourself type, an at-home teeth whitening kit might be right for you. These professional grade teeth whitening kits produce excellent results over a longer period of time. They can be purchased from your dentist or over-the-counter, but for best results, it's recommended that you always consult with a dentist before trying any over-the-counter teeth whitening system.

Porcelain Veneers

Years ago, smile makeovers involved multiple dental treatments over a period of several months. That's no longer the case, thanks to porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are ultra thin shells made of translucent porcelain that can be bonded to your teeth for cosmetic purposes. Extremely versatile and durable, porcelain veneers are an excellent option whether you want a total smile makeover or need to cover a chipped tooth, mask a cracked tooth, or close gaps between your teeth. They require little to no prepping and can often be applied in just one dental visit!

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Cosmetic dental bonding is a versatile and affordable way to improve the appearance of chipped teeth, stained teeth and gapped teeth. As one of the most conservative cosmetic dentistry treatments around, cosmetic dental bonding requires little to no prepping and preserves most of the natural tooth structure. And it's fast, too! Dental bonding usually takes just one visit to complete.

Cosmetic Dental Implants

It's almost impossible to feel confident when you smile if you're missing teeth. Cosmetic dental implants can change that. With cosmetic dental implants, you get the best in function and aesthetics. Cosmetic dental implants are securely anchored in the jaw bone for maximum comfort and durability. The replacement tooth, or dental crown, is made of tooth-colored porcelain so that your cosmetic dental implants look, feel and function just like your real teeth!

Mini Implants

Dental Implants have been one of the most significant advances in dentistry over the past 25 years. Many denture patients have experienced a significant improvement in the quality of life, and the confidence that mini implant stability brings. There are several different options when looking into implants. Treatment depends on the patient’s general health, the amount of bone available, and their restoration preferences.

The placement of the implants is done in the dentist’s office with local anesthesia. Using a precise, controlled, minimally invasive surgical technique, the implant, a miniature titanium alloy rod, is placed into the jawbone. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball and will protrude from the gum tissue. A retaining fixture will be incorporated into the base of your denture, which acts like a socket with a rubber O-ring. When placing the denture, the O-ring snaps over the ball part of the mini implant and the denture rests on the gum tissues, now completely secured by your mini implants. Because this procedure is minimally invasive, the stabilization of the denture can be done on the same day as the placement of the mini implants.

ZOOM! Whitening

If you're pressed for time but still want the best that teeth whitening has to offer, ZOOM! whitening could be perfect for you. With ZOOM! whitening, bright, white teeth can be yours in about an hour. Using light activated whitening gel, ZOOM! whitening is fast, safe and more effective than take-home whitening kits.
