Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Porcelain Veneers
A layer of porcelain is sculpted to cover over your
natural teeth. The
work can be done in stages and will completely mask awkward gaps, discolored
and misshapen teeth. We fit the porcelain cover above your
gum line for a beautiful natural appearance.
Bonding
Similar to porcelain, but less expensive, because
a polymer material is used. Again, individually sculpted and fastened permanently
to your own teeth. Often employed when an individual tooth
has chipped, or to correct minor defects.
Implants
Your natural teeth are replaced one by one,
by implants that are sculpted and rooted into the jaw, below the gum
line. The implanted teeth
can be fitted with a tiny mechanical "spring" for a truly natural feel
when biting and chewing. Implants, while more expensive, eliminate
the need for dentures and may look better than your original teeth.
Crowns
When your own tooth is severely damaged but the
root is intact, a crown can replace the tooth above the gums.
In this procedure, the root of your natural tooth is retained and a
new tooth is sculpted and attached. Our
state-of-the-art facilities enable us to use a digital intra-oral
camera and laser to sculpt your new crown literally on the premises,
while you wait. Get perfect cosmetic matching, while saving
yourself an entire visit.
Bridges
Used when several teeth are missing or dead
at the roots. Porcelain
or polymer teeth are sculpted and joined together to form, literally,
a small bridge to cover a gap. The new fixture is attached to
either your existing teeth, or to posts in the gums. An economical
way to preserve your smile.
Dentures/ Prosthodontics
A set or partial set of artificial
teeth are created and fitted to your mouth, enabling you to chew and
smile naturally. New materials
enable us to make dentures that are both comfortable and more lifelike. Dentures
are fully removed for cleaning.
White Composite Restorations
We use a white polymer
filling that is both strong and invisible, matched to the shade of
your natural teeth. Composite Restorations
are much more attractive than the metal fillings of the past, but
in addition, some feel the new materials may be healthier.
Invisalign
Nobody apart from your dentist needs to know
that you're having your teeth straightened. The Invisalign process consists
of a series of custom-made alignment trays that gradually correct teeth
without the use of visible braces. As alignment improves,
the virtually undetectable trays are refitted. We are certified experts
in this advanced computer-aided process.
Zoom Whitening
A proprietary process that we are proud
to offer, Zoom technology gets your teeth many shades whiter than
anything you could purchase at the drugstore - and often in only
one session. Whether your teeth
are stained from smoking, coffee, wine, tetracycline or genetics,
Zoom yields superior results. The procedure can be started
at our offices and continued at home, under our supervision. Enjoy
the confidence that a bright white smile will bring to your life.
