Cosmetic Dentistry Services Offered
Cosmetic dentistry includes a wide variety of procedures. Among them, here are our most popular services requested and received by our patients.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is by far the most requested procedure when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. Professional whitening can turn back time by removing stains on your teeth. A number of the foods and drinks we enjoy can dull the enamel surface of our teeth. Many may not even recognize how much discoloration there is on their teeth until they see the results of professional whitening treatment.
Dental Bonding
If you have teeth that are chipped or cracked, dental bonding is an easy way to repair them. The dental bonding procedure is quick, and results can typically be seen in just a single appointment if there are no complications. Broadly speaking, the dental bonding procedure can be a short 30-minute procedure or may take up to an hour. If your procedure will involve more than one tooth, your procedure could take a bit longer.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain Crowns also known as caps, fit over the tooth. Crowns are often placed over damaged or broken teeth to restore their size and strength. You will visit the dentist two times to prepare for a dental crown. The first visit involves the examination of the tooth receiving a crown. The tooth is then reshaped so that a crown may fit and if it is too small, it is built up using a filling material. An impression of the tooth receiving the crown and the neighboring teeth is taken to the lab for crown making. You will then use a temporary crown until your permanent crown is ready to be placed.
Dental Veneers
A dental veneer is a thin shell that covers the front surface of your tooth. We should note that veneers are a one-way decision. When you get veneers, we have to file off the enamel of your teeth to accommodate the veneers without adding uncomfortable or awkward bulk in your mouth. This means that you will need to wear veneers for the rest of your life.
