Aesthetic Dentistry
Aesthetic Dentistry is any procedure that makes a cosmetic improvement to a smile. It is one of the fastest growing trends in healthcare today... Patients are realizing that they no longer have to live with unsightly gaps or missing teeth, stained teeth, or ugly silver-mercury fillings. The advancements in dentistry in the past decade have nearly eliminated the use of metal of any kind in restoring teeth. Instead, patients can expect natural, tooth colored restorations, smooth, white porcelain veneers and crowns, and a more beautiful end result that will last for many years to come.
Porcelain Crowns
A crown is a restoration that covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. Our crowns are made from porcelain and are only sent to the very best labs for construction. The appearance is very natural and aesthetically pleasing. Crowns protect weakened teeth from breakage and fracturing and are also used to cover dental implants.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin sheets of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains... For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.
Inlays and Onlays
We restore teeth using inlays and onlays made of porcelain or composite resin. These pieces are bonded directly to the damaged area of the tooth. Inlays, similar to a filling, are used inside the cusp tips of a tooth, while onlays are a more substantial, wrapping over the cusp tips, to cover more of the tooth's surface. When compared to traditional metal fillings, there's clearly no comparison.
White Fillings
Scientists are constantly inventing new techniques to help us keep your teeth and smile healthy and happy all of your life. An example is a new type of restoration material called composite, now in use for veneers, crowns, inlays and onlays. These composite fillings give a very natural-looking smile that closely matches your natural teeth, so that the restorations are nearly undetectable. The composite bonds directly to your tooth structure, creating a seal that leaves the tooth stronger than before.
