Teeth Whitening
Teeth discoloration can be caused by a variety of factors, including coffee and wine drinking, the use of tobacco, and the natural progression of age. We can bring back the whiteness of your teeth on your first visit. Results of our laser teeth whitening treatment are immediate. In contrast, at-home tooth whitening kits often require patients to wear a mouth guard filled with a bleaching agent for a few hours at a time over the course of several weeks.
Porcelain Veneers
Most of the extreme dental makeovers are done with porcelain veneers. Veneers offer one of the best dentistry options for people wanting to improve their smiles. With veneers, you can whiten your teeth beyond what tooth whitening can accomplish. Veneers can also be used to align or straighten crooked teeth or to eliminate spaces between the teeth. Veneers also reflect light and have a luster like enamel.
Dental Braces
Dental Braces are an excellent means of teeth straightening. They can dramatically affect your appearance and orthodontics can correct TMJ disorder as well as reduce your susceptibility to dental decay and periodontal disease. Typically, orthodontic treatment consists of the application of small ceramic or metal brackets to the teeth. These brackets are attached to an arch wire which helps shape the teeth. Often springs and rubber bands are also used to help move the teeth.
Invisalign
Your Invisalign treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every two weeks for the next set of aligners. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth, and your teeth only. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position prescribed by your dental provider..
what patients ask regularly about
What is a filling?
A filling is a synthetic material that your dentist uses to fill a cavity after all of the tooth decay has been removed. Fillings do not generally hurt because your dentist will numb your mouth with an anesthetic. Fillings are made from a variety of different materials, including composites, gold, or ceramic. If you need a filling, be sure to talk to your doctor about what type is best for you and your teeth.
How often should I see the dentist?
Children, teens, and adults should all see the dentist for a regular checkup at least once every six months. Patients who are at a greater risk for oral cancer or gum disease may be required to see the dentist more than just twice a year. Your doctor will help determine how often you should visit the dentist for regular checkups.
Why do I need X-Rays?
Radiographic or X-ray examinations provide your dentist with an important diagnostic tool that shows the condition of your teeth, their roots, jaw placement and the overall composition of your facial bones. X-Ray can help your dentist determine the presence or degree of periodontal disease, abscesses and many abnormal growths, such as cysts and tumors. X-rays can also show the exact location of impacted teeth. They can pinpoint the location of cavities and other signs of disease that may not be possible to detect through visual examination (such as changes in the jaw bone structure as a result of systemic disease).
When should my child first see a dentist?
The ideal time for your child to meet the dentist is six months after their first (primary) teeth erupt. This gives your dentist a perfect opportunity to carefully examine the development of their mouth and catch problems such as baby bottle tooth decay, teething irritations and prolonged thumb-sucking early.
I have a number of black fillings, what can I have done to improve this?
The black filling material used in your teeth is amalgam. It has been used as a filling material for over a hundred years; it’s still one of the strongest materials available. However, these fillings can be highly unattractive and have a high mercury content. There are a number of other tooth-colored restorative materials currently available that can be used to replace old amalgams.
