A beautiful, white smile doesn’t have to be something that is out of reach! In fact, many everyday people are enjoying the benefits of a ‘Hollywood’ quality smile thanks to a simple but effective tooth whitening procedure. This professional grade tooth whitening procedure offers a near permanent solution for discolored teeth and best of all, it’s a solution that will work for people of all ages. To begin this tooth whitening treatment you will first need to come into our office where molds of your teeth will be created.  Using these molds, customized bleaching trays are constructed within just a day or two. When you receive your customized trays, you’ll also receive a professional strength bleaching agent. This high strength bleaching agent means that you don’t have to carry that tray in your mouth all night, or hours at end for that matter. The take home kit is worn for a half hour every day for 2 weeks or until you get the desired results you want. As an aside, all teeth are in different stages of their development and as a result each person’s ideal tooth color will vary.

Dental crowns or caps are a great way to protect and prolong the health of your teeth.  While crowns are typically used to improve the look of teeth that have been damaged as a result of trauma, decay, or cracking, they can also be used to simply improve the esthetics of a smile. They are used frequently to straighten and enhance teeth that didn’t form correctly during their development or for teeth that are in poor position or have been discolored through years of neglect or abuse. A dental crown can be made from a number of different materials including metal, porcelain, composite or a combination of these materials.

Am I A Good Candidate for Dental Crowns? We recommend crowns for the following reasons: When you visit our office, we will candidly discuss with you which teeth may benefit from a dental crown and which type of crown would be best for your situation. “What Does A Typical Dental Crown Procedure Look Like?” Your crown treatment procedure will typically require two separate appointments.  During your first visit, we will create the correct tooth form and capture it in a dental tooth mold.  During the second visit we’ll actually seat your dental crown. After your first visit you will leave with a plastic temporary crown.  It is important that you take care of it.  You may brush and floss the area but we recommend that you do not chew on it.  If that is unavoidable, DO NOT chew hard, sticky foods.  Chances are your temporary crown will come off and need to be replaced or remade. Without the temporary tooth, you may have severely increased sensitivity so it’s recommended that you do not chew on it.  If you break the remaining tooth structure you may loose the tooth or incur more expense to repair the damage. Once you have the final crown seated you may return to normal chewing activities. Congratulations! You now have a greatly reinforced tooth that will provide you with many, many years of function. However, to ensure this is the case, be sure to schedule regular dental visits (every 6 months) at our office and maintain a healthy and balanced diet.  Daily brushing and flossing are also essential to being able to provide your crown the longest life span.

Is your smile less than perfect?  Do you have gaps, odd shaped teeth, or teeth than are not as white as you’d like? Dental Veneers are a Great Way to Correct A Less Than Perfect Smile Dental veneers are very thin, custom-designed shells of a tooth-like ceramic material that get placed on top of your existing teeth.  This thin veneer offers a beautiful, natural looking appearance and provide a strong tooth structure once the bonding is completed. The life like appearance, stain resistance, beauty and durability come only from porcelain restorations.  The advantage to a porcelain veneer is that it enables the final appearance to have a more natural appearance than other treatments and this quality alone makes them ideally suited for the best cosmetic look. With dental implants we can help you correct: Now, if porcelain veneers are out of your budget, there are newer composite materials available can also provide a great enhancement.  With a lower cost than the popular porcelain veneers and the ease of repair, these dental restorations are also a great alternative. Plus, these composite dental veneers are typically applied in one day, with no waiting.  The disadvantages are that they are not as strong as porcelain and they tend to discolor around the edges after several years.  Typically this is easily repaired with minimal expense. To learn more about how dental veneers can help you create that beautiful smile you deserve, schedule online or call at (513) 896-1573 today.
