Stained or discolored teeth – A thorough cleaning with your dental provider will remove plaque build-up and many extrinsic stains. But when teeth have spots or stains resulting from medication, over-fluoridation, or lifestyle habits, Zoom! teeth whitening can produce results. In-office whitening can lighten teeth up to eight shades in just a couple of hours. Similar results can be achieved in the comfort and privacy of home with take-home whitening (over a little longer period of time).
Crooked teeth – When teeth are out of alignment, quite often the best cure is to correct the malocclusion. But if you’re already self-conscious about your smile, wearing braces won’t help. However, Invisalign clear aligners can correct misalignment with removable, transparent aligners making this a practical solution.
Gaps, chipped teeth, or intrinsic stains – Porcelain veneers are wafer thin, tooth colored coverings. They are fabricated by your cosmetic dentist to repair as many teeth as needed. They can be made to lengthen misshapen teeth, close spaces, make teeth appear whole, cover deep rooted stains, as well as cover receding gum tissue to protect exposed dentin or root.
Broken or badly decayed teeth – When a tooth is salvageable, placing a crown over it to protect it from further damage is a much more desired result than losing the tooth. Crowns are available in many materials … for teeth in the smile line, a porcelain crown can be fabricated to match the surrounding teeth making it virtually impossible to distinguish a crown from a biological tooth.
Tooth loss – Infection, trauma, or decay can result in a needed extraction or loss of one or more teeth. Dental implants will restore aesthetics and function by supplanting teeth that were lost. The implant itself will become a permanent part of the dental anatomy by fusing to bone tissue. A restoration will be permanently attached to the implant providing the replacement of one or more lost teeth.
