Veneers
Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.
As with most dental restorations, veneers are not permanent and may someday need replacement. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.
Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth. The most popular method is using a home tooth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically. Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.
Tooth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up maybe needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction or rehabilitation can restore all of your teeth and rebuild a natural-looking smile. If you have lost some or all of your teeth due to tooth decay or trauma, injured or fractured teeth, severely worn teeth, or ongoing complaints of your jaw and its positioning, full mouth reconstruction can be what your teeth and jaw need.
Following a comprehensive examination of your teeth and jaw, one of our dentists will determine if full mouth rehabilitation is right for you. All aspects of your mouth will be thoroughly examined including your teeth, gums, jaw muscles and joints, and all of the esthetics of your teeth. The dentist will determine the condition your mouth is in and what kind of reconstruction is best for you. You may also have to submit all of your past dental records so the dentist knows your full dental history.
Your full mouth reconstruction will be done in phases and can take up to a year if necessary. f you have a jaw joint disorder, caused by the misalignment of your teeth, your procedure will start with the repositioning of your jaw. Your dentist will run several tests to find out which position is most comfortable for you. An orthotic will be attached to your lower jaw to slowly position it to the right place over time. The orthotic is a clear tool that is virtually invisible and won’t be seen by others.
Once your jaw has been repositioned, your teeth might need to be reshaped or realigned. If necessary, each tooth that needs to be redone will be fit with a crown or veneer to raise or lower the jaw in position. This will make your jaw’s position more comfortable and natural.
Other types of full mouth reconstruction include crown or bridge lengthening, contouring of the gum tissue, reduction of your natural tooth structure, replacing crowns, bridges, or other ceramic restorations, implant placement, braces, or bone and soft tissue grafting.
Porcelain Fillings Inlay and Onlays
Today, porcelain fillings, inlays/onlays, are an ideal alternative to conventional silver or composite fillings. Our solid porcelain block custom fillings are designed with digital technology.
When a tooth fractures, has a large cracked filling, or has extensive decay, an inlay or onlay may be necessary. Inlays and Onlays strengthen and protect the tooth. Inlays and onlays are also esthetically beautiful and can help enhance your smile. Our porcelain inlays and onlays are custom crafted by DR. Cortis with CEREC 3D technology.
Inlays and onlays are extremely strong and long lasting, and they restore and protect the tooth against further fracture. Porcelain has been used for years in the fabrication of crown and bridgework, providing natural tooth color and translucency. Porcelain inlays and onlays match your own tooth color, and are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Porcelain fillings are the strongest most esthetic fillings dentistry has to offer.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain Crowns are used to restore both front and back teeth that may have extensive damage caused by decay, have been broken or are at high risk of doing so due to old, over-sized fillings or fractures. There are a variety of materials used to construct these, full porcelain, porcelain fused-to-metal, gold, titanium, zirconia, and all metal. By working with the finest laboratories in the country, we are pleased to produce crowns that look and feel like your real teeth.
We even have CEREC 3D technology, where we can often make your crown out of solid porcelain, in a single appointment and seat it the same day, completely eliminating the need for a second appointment and bothersome temporary. For you, the patient, this means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your hectic schedule for dental care.
