The Best Cosmetic Dental Options In Medical Lake
Cosmetic dentistry can cover anything done to correct imperfections in the appearance of the mouth. Anyone who is unhappy with their smile can have it fixed. The color, alignment, spacing as well as regularity of the teeth are the characteristics that create their overall appearance. Any of these can be repaired to give a stunning look to your mouth.
We offer a wide variety of cosmetic options.
These include:
- Whitening
- Smile Design
- Re-contouring of the shape of the teeth
- Bonding
- Placement of Ceramic/Porcelain Crowns.
Teeth Whitening
We use passive tray whitening to make your teeth more attractive. The tray method involves having impressions of your teeth taken and having laboratory fabricated custom vinyl trays made. A carbamide peroxide gel is placed in these trays and worn for about 3 hours, or overnight. The entire process takes 3-4 weeks of daily use. Two different strengths of gel may be used, however the higher the strength the greater the likelihood of reactions or tooth sensitivity. For badly stained teeth it may take several months of use to see significant color improvement.
Veneers
Veneers are a dental procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside (visible area) of the tooth. The procedure can be direct or indirect.
The advantage of veneers versus crowns is that much less tooth material is removed, and the procedure is generally less uncomfortable. Veneers are recommended for teeth that have large fillings.
