Smiles show physical and esthetic signs of aging. Advances in cosmetic dentistry has given us new opportunities in conservative and esthetic restorative procedures. These procedures have the potential to reverse the signs of dental aging, thereby making patients appear younger, with more vigor and appeal.
Bleaching/Tooth Whitening
You can lighten, brighten, and return youthful color to your teeth. Stains invade teeth over time and cannot be removed with routine cleaning. You will be delighted with the results. It is easy, safe and does not cause discomfort.
Conservative Porcelain Restorations
Using modern adhesive technology we are able to save valuable tooth structure. This is one of the most conservative, esthetic and comfortable ways to restore a tooth; a truly world class procedure. It is impossible to identify natural teeth from porcelain restored ones. Only your dentist will know for sure.
Crowns
Crowns are the traditional way to restore teeth with over 50% filling. It is proven to last a long time. Excessive tooth tissue removal by today's standards. Root canal treatment may be necessary after the restorations. Esthetics is good. Better esthetics, function and conservation of tooth tissue are available if desired with other newer methods.
Direct Resin Bonded Restorations (Bonding)
Direct Resin Bonded Restorations use adhesive technology for same day restoration. Useful for small to medium restorations. Tooth colored, highly esthetic. These restorative materials bond tooth structure, replacing missing tooth due to decay or trauma. Direct Resin Bonded Restorations strengthen and support the remaining structure without removing health tissue.
Implants
A great way to replace missing teeth without involving adjacent teeth. The best restoration for the dentition with little restorative work. Implants can be incorporated into full and partial denture design for a firm clip, no slip, or slide prosthesis. Implants, on average, last a patient 20 years to a lifetime and are truly a "state of the art" benefit.
Indirect Porcelain Restorations
Strengthens tooth to near 100%. Feels great, looks good, seals the tooth and functions well. Augmentation and conservation of your natural tooth structure is maximized.
