COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Veneers:
Veneers are thin coverings that are placed over the front (visible) part of the tooth. They look like natural teeth. Veneers can be used to correct a wide range of dental issues, such as: teeth that are stained and can’t be whitened by bleaching. chipped or worn teeth.
Teeth Whitening:
Are you considering teeth whitening to help reinvigorate a smile tainted by discoloration? Professional, in-office teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure in the world today. Unlike home-use systems that incorporate low-dose bleaching agents, in-office whitening takes place under carefully monitored conditions which allow for the safe, controlled, pain-free use of a relatively high concentration of bleaching gel – yielding results that are visible immediately.
This is the safest form of bleaching.
Gum and tooth sensitivity (formerly drawbacks to in-office bleaching) are more controllable today due to thicker peroxide gels (that don’t soak into the teeth as much as previous gels) and the use of desensitizers such as potassium nitrate and fluoride. Chair-side whitening removes organic stains or discolorations primarily caused by:
Over time, the teeth darken with a yellow, brown, green or grey cast (which may be due to heredity and/or eating habits). Yellowed teeth tend to whiten most readily.
Consumption of certain foods (notably coffee, red wine, sodas and dark-colored vegetables and fruits).
Tobacco use.
Stains Resistant to In-Office Whitening
Teeth with certain stains – typically those that are inorganic – do not respond well to in-office treatment. In fact, these teeth may look even darker after the surrounding teeth have been whitened.
Trauma, which causes the dentin to darken.
Tetracycline antibiotics ingested during tooth-formation. These drugs chemically bind with the crystalline structure of both the tooth’s enamel and underlying dentin.
Overexposure to fluoride, which can cause fluorosis, resulting in tooth discoloration.
GENERAL DENTISTRY :
Fillings: we offer dental fillings to treat cavities and to repair cracked or broken teeth. And, because we know how important your smile is to you, we offer tooth-colored fillings that make the mouth look more natural and attractive.
Dental sealants can protect back teeth from cavities and decay, while also making them easier to clean and maintain. Patients of all ages can receive dental sealants to help ensure their teeth remain healthy for years to come.
Fluoride Treatments: Supplemental fluoride applications strengthen tooth enamel and help to prevent tooth decay. They are painless and only take a few minutes. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that provides positive effects when applied directly to teeth.

REGULAR AND DEEP CLEANING :
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the United States. At beautiful Smiles we will assess your gums for signs of periodontal disease. We may recommend non-surgical therapy for early-stage gum disease or specialized care for advanced cases.
Scaling and Root Planing or deep cleaning Scaling and root planing is a careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus [tartar] from deep periodontal pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins. Scaling and root planing is sometimes followed by adjunctive therapy such as local delivery antimicrobials, systemic antibiotics,

INVISALIGN
Invisalign is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.
Your doctor will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Your Invisalign clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your doctor will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.
Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible — people may not even notice you’re wearing them. You can remove them to eat and drink, to brush and floss, or for special occasions. There are no metal brackets or wires that could irritate your mouth or break, sending you to your doctor for an emergency visit.
Anyone from children and teens to older adults can be candidates for Invisalign. Good candidates will not need extreme teeth movement or rotation and will have the discipline to keep their trays in for the recommended amount of time each day.
Patients are asked to wear Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results, taking them out to only to eat, brush and floss. Regular checkups with your dentist, usually around every six weeks, are necessary to make sure you switch into your new aligners at the proper time, and to make sure your teeth are moving (or not moving) as planned.
