A few examples
of our work...
In the case
above, the patient's worn, tooth-colored
bondings were replaced with porcelain crowns and
veneers.
In this case,
natural looking temporaries will help us through
the restorative procedure.
Above, a patient's
fractured tooth and other discolored teeth have
been restored with porcelain veneers.

General Dentistry —
checkups, cleanings and...
Teeth whitening - There are two main methods for whitening teeth: chairside
teeth whitening (performed in the cosmetic
dentist's office) and at-home teeth whitening (involving the use of take-home bleaching kits).
Porcelain veneers -
Veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain that
are custom made by a professional dental
laboratory. The veneers are bonded onto the
front of the teeth to create a beautiful and
attractive smile.
Dental implant - A
dental implant is a titanium screw placed into
the jawbone and acts as an artificial root to
help support a dental prosthesis (e.g. crown,
bridge or denture).
Bonding - Bonding
is the application of tooth-colored composite
resin material in order to restore or improve a
tooth's color, shape and appearance.
Crown - A crown (or
cap) is a restoration which fully covers an
existing tooth to restore and protect the
underlying structure. Crowns can be composed of
all-metal, all-porcelain, or a combination of
both.
Bridge - A bridge
is a fixed (non-removable) prosthesis used to
replace a missing tooth or multiple missing
teeth. A bridge usually consists of two or more
crowns that cover anchoring natural teeth
(abutments) and are attached to artificial teeth
(pontics), filling the gap created by the missing
teeth.
Denture - A denture
is a removable dental appliance used to replace
missing teeth and surrounding tissue. Dentures
can be either complete or partial. Complete
dentures are used when all of the teeth are
missing, while a partial denture fills in spaces
created by missing teeth and prevents other
teeth from shifting. |
