Porcelain Veneers

Chances are we would all like to change something about ourselves.  When it comes to our smiles, we might have concerns about the alignment, cracks, spaces, or the overall brightness.  For my patients that want to get rid of these flaws, I offer a complete smile makeover with veneers.  A veneer is made of a porcelain material that is strong, long lasting, and gives the appearance of a natural smile.  Each veneer is customized to fit the patients smile, covering each tooth with a functional and cosmetic solution.  They are then bonded to the tooth with a specialized material that is meant to last a lifetime. 

 

The needs of every patient are different.  If you think that you are interested in making over your smile with veneers, it is best to call me at my office and schedule an appointment for a consultation where we can discuss the best options for you.

Root Canals

Root canals have been thought of as one of the most dreaded dental procedures.  Even when my patients are familiar with the new, advanced dental technology available, there are still misconceptions surrounding the procedure.  Most of this aversion to root canals is due to a misunderstanding of the process.  Modern technology has made it so that root canals are virtually painless.  Digital x-rays, precision instruments, and effective dental anesthetic have made it possible to accurately target infections with a less invasive procedure.  This has, in turn, shortened the length of the healing process.  Any discomfort that is felt during this period can be relieved with over-the-counter painkillers. 

If you are still concerned about your root canal or endodontic procedure, feel free to call my office with any questions you may have.

Tooth Colored Fillings

Many of the patients that visit my office with cavities are nervous.  They want to know how the filling will affect their teeth both during and after the procedure. Fillings no longer have to be made from the less aesthetically pleasing metal amalgam material.  I offer tooth colored fillings that match the natural shade of the tooth, blending in with the rest of your smile.  Here’s a few of the advantages:

• ·         Tooth colored fillings don’t conduct heat like metal does.  Patients are less likely to be sensitive to temperature changes.


• ·         It is a less invasive filling, requiring less tooth modification.  More of the natural tooth structure can be left in your mouth.


• ·         It hardens faster than metal, making it easier for chewing and decreasing your risk of damage.


• ·        They aren’t inherently noticeable when smiling, talking, or chewing.

With tooth colored fillings, you no longer need to be worried about the results.  I make sure that the procedure is comfortable for patients and they are left with a smile that is healthy and beautiful.
