Teeth Whitening

There are two types of teeth whitening procedures that are commonly used by cosmetic dentists. The most common procedure has been around for quite some time and involves in-home use of a bleaching gel and custom fitted trays. The second type of teeth whitening procedure employed by dentists involves in-office use of a highly concentrated bleaching gel which is activated by a laser or power light. Read Dr. Bruce Freund's Teeth Whitening tips for keeping those teeth white and maintaining your smile.

Lumineers

Lumineers are the most significant breakthrough in cosmetic dentistry since technology has allowed teeth to be restored through bonding procedures. Lumineers allow patients who were once too phobic to seek the care they need and want to have their entire smile redone in the image they desire in complete comfort and relaxation. Lumineers eliminate the fear barrier to treatment that millions of patients can't otherwise overcome. Read Dr. Joseph Preziosi's article to learn how Lumineers allow smile makeovers to be done with no pain.

Snap-On Smile

Now there's an aesthetic and cost-effective alternative, Snap-On Smile! Once snapped into place, the device can correct the look of tooth flaws to straighten, fill-in, and whiten a smile. Snap-On Smile is highly recommended for people who have worn, discolored teeth, and for those who have ground down their teeth. They may also be used by patients who are missing several teeth as long as there are posterior teeth present to support the snap-on teeth. Snap-on Smile serves both functional and aesthetic purposes and can also be used in lieu of dentures. Read Dr. Marc Liechtung's article to learn about the Snap-On Smile.

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns are a long term treatment for replacing missing tooth structure when there is no longer sufficient tooth structure remaining to support a filling. This can be caused by caries (tooth decay), tooth fractures, lost fillings, traumatic injuries, or a combination of these and other factors. Bridges have all the qualities and characteristics of crowns and are employed to replace missing teeth. Read Dr. Joseph Preziosi's article to learn about Crowns and Bridges.
