LOOK, MOM, NO SILVER: TOOTH COLORED FILLINGS, PORCELAIN ONLAYS AND METAL-FREE CROWNS

The days of unsightly silver fillings are gone. (After all, just because you've had some dental work doesn't mean you want the world to know.)

Tooth-colored fillings, porcelain onlays and metal-free crowns not only make for a more natural smile, they're more durable than silver. Tooth-colored fillings are matched to your tooth color and bonded to your teeth to form a strong, long-lasting seal.

Porcelain onlays enable us to repair more extensive decay while leaving most of your tooth intact. Onlays are highly durable and matched to your tooth color for a completely natural look.

A porcelain crown--used for deeper cavities, tooth breaks, root canals and bridges--is a permanent cover that fits over your original tooth.

STRAIGHT TEETH IN SIX SHORT MONTHS

Braces no longer have to mean a two-year commitment and a mouthful of metal.

Powerprox Six Month Braces™ is a revolutionary new technology that will give you a beautiful smile, quickly and comfortably. Whether your teeth have gaps, or are crowded and overlapped, most cases can be completed within six months or less, and in just seven to ten short appointments.

Because Powerprox Six Month Braces uses a new, low-force technique, your teeth can be moved gently and safely with less discomfort than is often seen with traditional braces. And because the treatment time is shorter, this technique is less expensive than standard comprehensive orthodontic treatment.

VENEERS: NO MORE GAPS. OR CRACKS. OR CHIPS. OR STAINS

Like Six Month Braces, porcelain veneers can make a truly dramatic difference in your smile. Veneers cover cracks, chips and stains. They can close gaps and even change the shape of your teeth.

Veneers are thin, highly durable porcelain shells that are bonded to your teeth for a picture-perfect smile. A technique we call “Instant Orthodontics” enables us to straighten and realign mild to moderate crowding or spacing in just two visits.

Other benefits to veneers: They’re long-lasting. They look like beautifully whitened teeth. And they’re highly resistant to stains from tea, coffee and tobacco.

Veneers are much quicker than Six Month Braces, but more costly. In many cases, we can combine both treatments to reduce the number of veneers you need.

WHITENING: FROM DIM TO DAZZLING

One of the easiest ways to enhance your smile is whitening your teeth. We offer several options to fit all budgets, including take-home and in-office treatments, which offer beautiful, long-lasting results.

Impatient? Opt for another cutting-edge technology. BriteSmile® in-office laser bleaching offers dramatic results: a bright, beautiful smile in about an hour. www.britesmile.com

We also offer custom bleaching trays for use at home. We offer different concentrations of whitening gel so that you only need to wear the trays for one hour per session.

Treswhite is a new whitening system that's fast, affordable and superior to whitening strips. Treswhite uses semi-custom bleaching trays that cover all of your teeth, not just the front six, with a concentrated bleach gel. Just one hour a day for 10 days gives you a beautiful ear-to-ear smile.

IMPLANTS: FROM MISSING TEETH TO KNOCKOUT TEETH

Replace missing teeth with the next best thing to the original. Dental implants not only look and feel natural, they can last a lifetime.

Implants are made of titanium and form artificial “roots” for replacement teeth, usually metal-free crowns. Implants can replace a poorly fitting denture, a single missing tooth or a large gap of missing teeth. They are extremely durable and don't rely on other teeth for support, making them superior to dentures or bridges. Keep your teeth in your mouth where they belong, not in a glass on your nightstand.

NTI NIGHTGUARDS: THE END OF THE SAME OLD GRIND

Clenching and grinding your teeth can cause headaches, sore jaw muscles and eventually, damaged teeth. An NTI nightguard is the best available treatment for clenchers and bruxers.

The NTI nightguard is a small, custom-made acrylic guard that fits over your front teeth, preventing your molars from touching. Other nightguards cover your whole mouth, giving your teeth a surface to grind against. NTI not only protects your teeth, it helps break the clenching and grinding habit.

KISS COLD SORES GOODBYE

Do you suffer from cold sores? Viroxyn® is a single-application, topical medicament that dries cold sores up quickly, easing pain and reducing healing time by half. Ask us about this new treatment, which is not available in drugstores. www.coldsoregone.com

SEE YOURSELF IN VENEERS. OR IMPLANTS. OR CROWNS

When it comes to choosing a procedure, it’s helpful to see before and after photos of other patients. It’s even better to see photos of yourself. With computerized imaging, we can show you exactly what you would look like after your procedure. Our patients find it to be a really helpful tool. Just contact us for a personal consultation, or call 834-4450.
