- Are you self-conscious about smiling?
- Do you ever put your hand over your mouth when you smile?
- When you read a fashion magazine, are your eyes drawn to the model's smile?
- When you look at your smile in the mirror, do you see any defects in your teeth or gums?
- Are your teeth too long or too short?
- Do you have large spaces between your teeth or too much crowding?
- Do you dislike the color of any of your teeth?
- Do you have any chips or cracks on your teeth?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, let us show you your dream of a new smile!
Even the subtlest improvement in the appearance of your teeth can have a significant impact on how you look and feel. Deciding to take the first step towards a new smile, though, can be tough—but it doesn't have to be! The problem has always been we've never had a way to show you what the finished treatment will look like. Until now.
We offer NewU Cosmetic Imaging™. NewU Cosmetic Imaging™ essentially lets you try before you buy, letting you see what the cosmetic work will look like. It's quick. It's painless. And it's a step toward an all new you!
NewU™ Cosmetic Imaging is a Simple Process |
First, we take a few pictures of you smiling. Then, we send them to our specialized imaging team. The imaging team works their magic and digitally alters the pictures to show what the completed treatment could look like. After they've finished editing the picture, you get to see your new smile before we even start the work. You get a before and after picture showing you how your dreams can come true. As us how a simple photo could change your life!
There are numerous ways we can improve your smile:
Teeth Whitening
Also called bleaching. Bleaching is a simple process that you do at home, following our instructions. Molds are made of your teeth, and you are given bleaching trays and gel. We will instruct you in the use of the trays and bleaching gel. You will probably notice that your teeth begin to look whiter within a few days. However, some teeth can be harder to bleach than others.
Bleaching is tough on stains, but gentle on your teeth. It can remove many stains that are in the outer layers of the tooth. If your teeth have yellowed with age or are stained from tobacco, tea, coffee or food, bleaching may restore their natural whiteness. Tetracycline stains and discoloration caused by an injury may take longer to bleach and not respond as well. Bleaching will not change the color of fillings and crowns.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin, custom-made shells that are designed to cover the front and side surfaces of teeth. Made of tooth-colored, durable ceramic material that actually strengthens your teeth. Veneers are used to treat spaces between teeth. They are also used to treat teeth that are permanently stained, poorly shaped, slightly crooked, chipped or worn. They can be used to lengthen teeth, too.
During a two-step procedure (separated by two weeks), we will prepare the teeth, take an impression and place temporary veneers. A major benefit of veneers is little enamel is removed in preparation for the restoration. The impression is then sent to a dental lab where a technician with meticulous skill will make a ceramic mold of your restoration, casting a porcelain veneer process. Two weeks later, we will fit the veneer onto the prepared tooth. The veneer is attached and then adhered with a light-cured bonding agent and a harmless high-intensity light. The process takes one to two minutes.
Crowns
Full porcelain crowns cover your entire tooth. They often provide a good solution for severe problems such as a bad fracture or large fillings. As with other techniques, crowns can correct a wide range of problems. They are durable and strong. The porcelain materials used are perfect for achieving vital, attractive, natural-looking tooth color.
Like veneers, the procedure will take two appointments. The first visit is the preparation, impression and placement of a temporary crown. Two weeks later, after the lab has cast the crown, we will fit and cement the crown permanently. ‡
