Don’t Dream, Just Smile!

Wish No Longer, your dream smile is waiting for you!

Your Teeth’s enamel allows light to pass through in much the same way that glass does. That’s why healthy teeth enamel has such a beautiful luster. The glass-Like nature of fine translucent porcelain veneers allows them to create this same kind of luminous appearance. Yet in spite of this fineness, bacteria resistant veneers can add strength to your enamel, brighten your smile by several shades, and mask flaws.

Cosmetic veneers could give you your dream smile if you are unhappy with the shade or uneven color or mottled appearance of your natural enamel which detracts from an otherwise unpleasant smile.

They can mask the cumulative staining effect from coffee, tee, colas, and tobacco products, or chemical compounds like fluoride and the antibiotic tetracycline as well as rout canal treatment.

If you are unhappy with the shape and proportion of your teeth cosmetic veneers can enhance the appearance of your smile by acquiring more balanced proportions, disguising gaps and spaces, and covering chipped, broken or malformed teeth.

If you feel your teeth have a misaligned appearance, but don’t want to wear braces, this may be an alternative for you to idealize the appearance of slightly rotated,  tipped, or misaligned teeth by using veneers as an instant orthodontics.

What ever you feel, we can work together to determine the best veneer make over strategy for your hand-crafted custom-fitted porcelain veneers.

Be sure to bring your wish list to your initial consultation appointment, we will be happy to help you achieve your brightest smiles!

Crown and Bridge Restorations

Your teeth work together to support each other. When one or more teeth are uneven, broken, warn, or missing, changes can occur in your bite. These changes can lead to difficult or painful chewing, jaw pain, ear pain, neck pain, and even migraine headaches. Crowns and bridges are most commonly used to repair teeth, protect them from further damage, and restore a healthy, confident smile.

Here are some explanations of what these items mean and how they affect teeth.

Crown: Crowns restore the size and approximate shape of the original teeth. A crown covers the visible portion of a tooth; usually with porcelain or metal alloys. The original tooth is reshaped to ensure a proper fit between the tooth and crown.

Temporary Bridge: Protects newly reshaped supporting teeth while the new bridge is being made.

Conventional Fixed Bridge: Replacement teeth attached to the crown on either side of the space to be filled. The crowns fit into the supported teeth and are cemented into place.

Maryland Fixed Bridge: In some situations, if teeth on both sides of the teeth are in good condition, a Maryland Bridge is an option. This type of bride attaches to the existing teeth on either side of it, using a metal strip in back.
