COSMETIC DENTISTRY
There are many ways to create a more attractive smile. Cosmetic bonding, veneers, bleaching and white fillings are some of the ways to make your smile a more beautiful one.
These techniques create dramatic improvements, many times without changing the basic structure of your mouth.WORDS TO KNOW
Bleaching: A technique sometimes used to brighten stained teeth.
Bonding: Rebuilds, reshapes, restores and covers tooth defects through the use of tooth-colored materials.
Composite Resin: The plastic material that matches the natural tooth color and is shaped to rebuild or replace the missing part of the tooth.
Crown: Completely covers or 'caps' a damaged tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. The healthy tooth is reduced so that the crown can fit over it properly.Bleaching
Bleaching is done to treat tooth discoloration. There are different ways to bleach teeth. We can perform in-office bleaching ("Zoom"), or we can make custom trays to fit your mouth so it can be done at home.Bonding
Bonding is one of the least expensive ways to cosmetically improve your smile. Bonding can be used in many ways. It can seal small cracks in the front teeth, or reshape chipped or malformed teeth.Laminate Veneers
Veneers can be used to reshape teeth, making them longer or wider. It can also be used to change their color. Veneers are stronger than bonding. They are more costly, but they usually last significantly longer than a bonded surface..
