This is one way to quickly get that beautiful smile. Veneers and Laminates
are a thin shell of porcelain or resin that is bonded to the surface of the
teeth. This can change their shape, shade, and position to improve the cosmetics
of your teeth and smile. They are also used to replace and restore any lost
tooth structure where indicated.
Your dentist will do a complete examination of your teeth to determine if
veneers are ideal for you. Veneers often provide the opportunity to dramatically
transform the aesthetics of your teeth and smile.
Veneers can enhance the shape of your teeth, make your teeth as white as you
want, and give you the smile you have always desired. Additionally, Veneers are
bonded to your tooth structure, which gives them strength.
Since they are very thin, Veneers are considered one of the most conservative
cosmetic treatments available. Most of the time, very little or no tooth
structure is removed before placing veneers. Ask your dentist how veneers can
improve your smile.
Lumineers By Cerinate
LUMINEERS BY CERINATE is a terrific cosmetic solution for permanently
stained, chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth, or even to revitalize old
crown and bridgework. LUMINEERS BY CERINATE is a porcelain veneer that can be
made as thin as a contact lens and is placed over existing teeth. Unlike
traditional veneers, they do not require painful removal of sensitive tooth
structure.
Dentists apply these contact lens-thin “smile shapers” to teeth without any
grinding or shaving, and transform misshapen, worn teeth into a naturally
beautiful smile. LUMINEERS can even be placed on porcelain bridgework and crowns
with the new Revitalize Kit, available from your dentist. LUMINEERS BY CERINATE
provides the best of both worlds – they are ultra-thin, yet super strong for a
radiant smile that resists any cracking that can damage restorations. LUMINEERS
are completely reversible. Get your perfect smile today!
A crown (cap) is a restoration that is placed on teeth that have lost a lot
of their structure. There are various types of crowns, ranging from full
porcelain to full metal. Your dentist will explain the advantages and
disadvantages of each kind for you.
The process of making a crown includes a number of steps, beginning with preparing and taking impressions of
the tooth/teeth involved. A temporary crown or bridge is then placed on your
teeth. Meanwhile, the impressions are sent to the lab where a mold of
the teeth is poured and the work begins. The completed work is sent back
to the office; after inspection and any necessary adjustments, it is cemented
onto your teeth.
During the last 20 years, dental implants have become a desirable alternative
to other methods of replacing missing teeth. Excellent success rates and a range
of available options give dentists a variety of new ways to treat and replace
lost teeth.
Your dentist can evaluate your case and tell you if you are a candidate for
dental implants. Structurally, a dental implant is a titanium-based cylinder
that replaces the missing tooth root. After a period of time, other parts are
placed on the implant to enable your dentist to eventually place a crown (cap)
on the implant. Implants can also be used to support full or partial dentures,
dramatically improving denture retention and stability.
Most patients with adequate bone mass can have implants, although it varies
among individuals. Typically an x-ray and CT-scan are performed to determine if
you have enough bone to place the implant, as well as to verify the size and
kind of implant that should be placed.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ is the joint that connects the lower and upper jaw. The term TMJ stands
for Temporo-mandibular Joint. This is one of the most complex joints in the
entire body, capable of forward and backward movement, rotations, and
side-to-side movements. TMJ often refers to complications and problems with this
joint. Some of the most common symptoms of TMJ problems are:
- Pain
- Limited movement of the lower jaw
- Clicking sounds
- Muscle spasms
- Locking of the jaw
Some potential causes of the disease include genetics, hormones, low-level
infections, auto-immune diseases, trauma, and clenching or grinding of the
teeth. Diagnosis and evaluation of such conditions are performed by dentists
experienced in TMJ problems and treatments. Some common treatments are Night
Guards, Bite Guards, and Bite Adjustments. Your dentist can guide you toward the
best treatment for you.
If you experience any TMJ problems or symptoms please let us know. The doctor
will be happy to evaluate your situation and offer the best treatment possible.
Sealants are thin layers of resin that are placed on the pits, fissures, and
grooves of molars to prevent decay on these surfaces.
 The majority of decay on back teeth starts in the grooves and pits of chewing
surfaces, especially during the first few years after their eruption. Sealing
these surfaces with composite resins prevents this kind of decay.
Sealants are one of the most effective methods of preventing decay on the
surfaces where they are placed. Although it is still a possibility that decay
may develop on surfaces in between teeth, sealants significantly reduce the
overall chance of having cavities.
