Today there are dental procedures to change your smile when it does not please you. Such special procedures are works of art, hand crafted and designed to look natural.
Whitening : Safely lightens the color of teeth due to darkening from age, coffee, tea or smoking. Removes discoloration of teeth. It takes from 2-3 weeks up to 6 months for its completion. Dentists determines if patient is a candidate for bleaching and results can last from 1 to 3 years.
Braces: Correct crooked, crowded teeth, overbites or under bites, incorrect jaw position and disorders of the jaw joints. Time needed for completion is 18-20 months, depending on procedure.
Bridges: Replaces one or more natural missing teeth by cementing a false tooth (a pontic) fused between two crowns onto the surrounding teeth. It might take longer than 4 weeks in order to get a natural shade match of teeth
White fillings: Restore decayed area with natural colored composite resin to look identical to actual teeth.
Crowns: Covers or “caps” broken, cracked, badly shaped or severely discolored teeth to restore it’s normal shape and size.
Bonding: Used for slightly discolored teeth and those in need of reshaping, to fill in gaps, & change color of teeth. The procedure is the same as veneers, but a composite resin is used instead of porcelain. It lasts several years.
Enamel Reshaping: Correct crooked, chipped, cracked teeth. Ideal for candidates with normal healthy teeth yet in need of subtle changes in smile.
Veneers: Used to mask discoloration and/or change shape of teeth improve the smile. Three appointments are needed for diagnosis, preparation, and bonding. Tooth surface is reduced slightly. Ultra thin shells of ceramic material are bonded to front teeth.
