Cosmetic Techniques
 
 

Teeth Whitening - Bleaching of the teeth is often easily achieved through a variety of methods. These include power bleaching in the dental office or the use of customized home systems that can be used during sleep. We also have a home system that can be used for shortened periods during the day. The best method for any individual depends on personal preference - all of them are popular and completely safe if professionally monitored by the dental office. Results are usually immediate and significant. This is the most exciting, cost-effective, and popular of the cosmetic techniques available today.

Selective re-contouring - The teeth can be gently reshaped to level them out, restore proper contours, and blend in chips and irregularities.

Bonding - This involves bonding or sticking composite resins to the teeth to improve their shape and color, and to fill gaps and restore areas of decay. They are built up in increments as the material is applied to the teeth. It is designed for relatively small restorations and does require maintenance and periodic replacement.

Veneers, crowns, bridges - These are restorations that are fabricated by a dental laboratory and then cemented or bonded to the teeth. They are usually made of porcelain and precious metals and if meticulously made and maintained can be the most beautiful and long lasting of all dental restorations.

Dental implants - These are now one of the most popular methods for replacing missing teeth. They have been highly successful for many years now, and usually prevent the grinding away of natural teeth in order to replace missing teeth.

One or more of these cosmetic techniques can be used in any given situation.
