Types of Cosmetic Dentistry
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is usually a simple way to improve your smile. Teeth can be bleached using safe dental products made specifically for teeth right in our office.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or resin that cover the front surface of the teeth. After removing very small amount of enamel from the tooth surface, the thin shells are bonded to the teeth. This can improve their color, shape, and size.
Dental Bonding
Bonding is used to repair decayed, broken, cracked or misshaped teeth. Bonding is also a good cosmetic alternative to silver fillings. Bondings can also be trimmed and shaped to look natural after polishing.
Dental Crown
A dental crown, also known as a cap, fits over top and replaces the entire decayed or damaged tooth restoring the appearance. Crowns can also be uses to restore severely discolored tooth or keep a weak tooth from from cracking. they can be used cosmetically to cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth. Crowns are made from metal, porcelain, resin, or ceramic.
Inlays and Onlays
An alternative to crows, tooth inlays and onlays are made from either gold, porcelain, or composite materials. They provide a fill-in or cover for a decayed or damaged tooth and preserve as much of the good part of the tooth as possible.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium replacement tooth roots inserted into the bone socket of the missing tooth. As the jawbone heals, it grows around the implanted metal post, anchoring it securely in the jaw and providing a foundation for a replacement tooth.
Dental Bridge
A bridge is made of crowns for the teeth on either side of a gap with false teeth in between.
