Dental Veneers

Two Visits and You Can Walk Out with a New Smile!
Perhaps you are convinced that the unsightly problems with your teeth cannot be corrected. Perhaps you think if there are solutions, they aren’t affordable. Let us show you otherwise. If your teeth are discolored, gapped, misshapen, cracked, chipped, or worn, we can change all that to beautiful, white, straight, and uniform teeth for a gorgeous smile!

Veneers can correct these problems in no time to look as though your teeth have gone through months of correcting. These sheets of ceramic porcelain are very thin, but very hard, to be durable and aesthetic for an attractive look. If you need correction only on certain teeth, say for a chipped or cracked tooth, the veneer can be made to match the shade of the surrounding teeth and blend in naturally.

Great Ways to Improve Your Smile # 3

Veneers
Veneers are thin shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. Unlike bonding, it is necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth to accommodate the shell. Based on a model of your mouth, they are meant to look like your natural teeth.

Crowns
A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. Crowns can also be used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that’s already broken.

Know the Reason Most Teeth are Lost
Many patients seem to think most missing teeth are due to cavities. But the number one reason is periodontal (gum) disease. Symptoms are bleeding gums during daily hygiene or loose teeth. Sometimes there are no signs right up until the point of losing your teeth. When detected and treated in the early stages, gum infection can be alleviated with nonsurgical treatment. With advanced cases, surgery will most likely be necessary.

Gum Disease Can Contribute to Serious Health ConditionsA startling conclusion has been reached from recent medical research. Gum disease has been linked to heart and lung problems, diabetes, and stroke. Dentists are now considering periodontal disease a much more serious problem than simply losing your teeth. Another astounding statistic is that 80% of adult Americans are estimated to have some stage of gum disease! This is an epidemic proportion.

The American Academy of Periodontology reports, “studies found periodontal infection may contribute to the development of heart disease, increase the risk of premature, underweight births, and pose a serious threat to people whose health is already compromised due to diabetes and respiratory diseases.” Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection of the gums. These bacteria travel throughout the bloodstream to the body’s major organs, increasing the risk of life-threatening conditions.

Methods of Reversing Gum Disease
If gum disease is at an advanced state, gum surgery is necessary. Although it is never fun, it is generally successful in halting the associated problems. In milder stages, nonsurgical procedures can be used to stop it from spreading and return the gums to a healthy state. These methods are generally covered by most dental insurance and some medical plans.

Is There a Problem with Losing a Tooth?
Yes! Even one missing tooth can cause problems, as other teeth will start to shift or move. Without a full set of teeth, you do not absorb as many nutrients from your food. Often, your facial appearance will take on an older look due to hollowness or sunken areas of the face. You may become embarrassed without clear speech – certain words may be difficult for others to understand.

Your diet may change as you start to favor softer foods that are easier to chew. Most of these types of foods have higher calories, resulting in weight gain and other potential problems. We recommend dental implants to replace as many teeth as are missing. They look very natural, function just like a real tooth, and you can eat whatever you like without a problem.

Tackling Gum Disease Painlessly
Gum disease is the major reason for tooth loss and can contribute to other health problems as well. Our doctors use a very effective antibiotic that works painlessly to stop the infection. ARESTIN™ is a powder that contains invisible microspheres. It is delivered directly to the infection in the areas between teeth and gums. This time-released medication does its job by continually attacking the bacteria until it is gone. And all this occurs without any pain!

Non-Surgical Gum Treatment

Restore Receding Gums with the NEW Chao Pinhole Gum Lift Technique™
Our practice is licensed to provide patients with the Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ for obvious or excessive gum recession. Also referred to as a Lunchtime Gum Lift®, this is a surgery-free, minimally invasive procedure. It is an alternative to gum grafting with less pain and healing time involved.

There is no cutting with a scalpel. Instead, several small pinholes are placed above the gumline. With special instruments, the gum tissue is loosened and guided to cover any exposed root surfaces of teeth. Tiny strips of collagen are inserted through the pinholes to plump up the tissue and hold it in place in the new position. There are NO incisions, NO sutures and minimal discomfort or swelling.
