FOR YOU SAFETY
OUR OFFICE HAS IMPLEMENTED ADVANCED DISINFECTION AND
STERILIZATION TECHNIQUES WHICH IS MONITORED BY AN OUTSIDE
LAB.
White
fillings
White
(metal-free) fillings are an alternative to silver
(mercury amalgam) fillings. White fillings are
made of a strong composite resin that is matched
to the surrounding tooth color. In the past, white
fillings were placed only on front teeth, but
a stronger, more durable material has been developed
that can withstand the chewing pressure of back
teeth.
White fillings are often preferable because:
• Many patients prefer mercury-free fillings
• Cosmetic reasons
• Patients with sensitivity to heat or cold
find metal-free fillings to be more comfortable
Teeth
whitening
Dentistry
has the ability to whiten most teeth. This can
be accomplished in one of two different ways.
• In Office "Power Bleaching"
• At home while you sleep
In office "Power Bleaching" is usually
a one visit office procedure for most people.
The teeth are isolated. A powerful bleaching agent
is placed on the teeth. With the use of a computerized
light, Oxygen which bleaches the teeth is released.
This immediately lightnens most teeth.
At Home Bleaching is a completely different procedure.
Many consider it a vast improvement over former
whitening techniques. It is effective and can
be done while you sleep. A chemical gel preparation
containing carbamide peroxide is placed on the
teeth in a special tray.
When
one or more teeth have a large old filling, are
fractured, severely damaged by decay, or missing,
we may recommend the placement of a crown (cap)
or a bridge. A crown strengthens, restores and
protects a single tooth while a bridge replaces
one or more missing teeth. Crowns and bridges
are anchored using a special adhesive and are
not removable.
Porcelain
veneers
Porcelain
veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material,
which are bonded to the front of teeth. This procedure
requires little or no anesthesia, and can be the
ideal choice for improving the appearance of the
front teeth. Porcelain veneers are placed to mask
discolorations, to brighten teeth, and to improve
a smile. Highly resistant to permanent staining
from coffee, tea, or even cigarette smoking, the
wafer-thin porcelain veneers can achieve a tenacious
bond to the tooth, resulting in an esthetically
pleasing naturalness that is unsurpassed by other
restorative options.
Simply
natural Looking Partials and Dentures (Valplast)
Valplast
Flexible Partials are the world's first
flexible partial. The plastic is translucent,
allowing the natural tissue tone to show
through. Patients find these partials extremely
comfortable and durable without sacrificing
aesthetics. The material can be used for
all partials, unilateral removable replacements
(Nesbits), and full dentures.
Nothing
is as good as a natural tooth! And sometimes your
natural tooth may need root canal (endodontic)
treatment for it to remain a healthy part of your
mouth.
Most patients report that having root canal (endodontic)
treatment today is as unremarkable as having a
cavity filled.
The
best time to have your wisdom teeth removed
is before they have a chance to cause other
complications. If wisdom tooth removal has
been discussed as an option for you, please
feel free to share your concerns with us
and we will be glad to advise you.
We are here to help you achieve the best
possible oral health, and removing your
wisdom teeth may be an important step toward
that goal.
Non
Surgical Gum Therapy
As leaders
in the field of anti-infective therapy, our office
analyzes the numbers and types of bacteria present
in the space between your tooth and gum. This
helps us to diagnose the presence of health or
disease and treat you accordingly. Treatment,
even in advanced cases is usually completely non-surgical,
and is dedicated towards destroying the cause
of the gum disease-bacteria. In this way, we are
able to allow natural, non-surgical healing to
occur, and the ultimate result is healthy, natural
looking gums.
Dental
implants are extremely effective, natural
looking replacements for missing teeth.
They can also be used to provide support,
stability, and retention for removable dentures.
Our office utilizes the most up to date
implant restorative systems to fit each
individual patient’s needs. If you
are missing a tooth or a number of teeth
due to accident, decay, fracture, or infection,
or if you are having a problem with your
dentures or partials, we will be happy to
advise you of your implant options.
The Nitrous
Oxide enables the patient to become calm and relaxed.
This Nitrous gas is very safe and is administered
by the doctor in small increments. This gas is
delivered to the patient through a nasal hood
and makes the patient feel weightless.
Intra-oral
camera
Do you
know why x-rays are used? It is because they show
us what we cannot see. The area between teeth
isn't accessible to view. Well, even the areas
which are accessible are not easily viewed. These
cameras show us, like x-rays, that which we cannot
see. Would you go to a dentist who didn't use
x-rays? Well, make sure they use these cameras,
too!
All
above procedures can be performed by a group of well qualifiied anesthesiologists.
