Services We Offer
Our dental office is equipped with the latest dental technology and the best materials to help create just about any smile you would like.
Here are some of our dental services:
Bleaching
- Bleaching, also known as Tooth Whitening, is a procedure that brightens teeth that are discolored, stained or darkened because of injury. It can be performed on all types of teeth, even those that have had root canal treatment. A chemical oxidizing solution is applied to the teeth and may be activated by heat or a combination of heat and light. Generally, three to four visits are necessary with each visit taking under an hour. The advantages of bleaching are that it's economical and does not require tooth removal. Occasional touch-ups may be necessary to keep the teeth white.
Bonding
- The addition of a tooth-like substance to a tooth to change its shape or color, increase its size or repair a defect. Bonding is a multi-layered process in which durable, enamel-like composite resins are intricately applied to the tooth before it is exposed to a special light.
Bridges
- If you're missing one or more teeth, you may be aware of their importance to your appearance and dental health. Your teeth work together to help you chew, speak, sing and smile. When you lack teeth, it's difficult to do these things. Fortunately, missing teeth can and should be replaced. You can restore your oral health and your smile with a fixed bridge.
Dental Imaging
- Dental imaging is a process that allows the patient to be educated on the dental work about to be performed. Using a mini-camera, the dentist inserts a probe into the patient's mouth and projects a color image that is magnified by thirty-five times onto a television screen.
- The process allows the patient to see first-hand, in magnification, any problems with their teeth and understand completely the procedures that may be necessary to correct these problems.
Enamel Shaping
- namel shaping is a process of contouring natural teeth to improve their appearance. When teeth become slightly crowded or uneven, or eye teeth seem too long, enamel shaping may be used to correct the flaw. The process cannot solve all problems, however. Severely crowded teeth may need braces. Enamel shaping involves modifying teeth by removing or contouring enamel to create harmony and balance in the mouth.
- Enamel shaping, which is often combined with bonding, is usually quick and painless. No anesthesia is necessary when shaping the enamel, and the results can be seen immediately. It should be approached with caution, however, because enamel cannot be replaced.
Porcelain Veneers
- Veneers are thin preshaped shells made of tooth-colored materials that are designed to cover the front side of teeth. They are fabricated by a dental technician, usually in a commercial dental laboratory, from the impression provided by the dental office. Veneers are used to cover gaps or teeth that are stained, poorly shaped or slightly crooked. They may last from 3 to 12 years.
