Cosmetic dentistry is not only about the appearance of your smile, but also about how you function and how you feel. We take into account your ability to function, while you look your best.
The Anatomy of a Dental Implant An implant's size and shape will depend on the tooth it is replacing. The titanium implant or "screw" is placed directly into the jawbone. Next the abutment (similar to a post) can be affixed into the implant and set with a screw. The crown is then cemented onto the abutment (cement-retained implant crown). Sometimes the crown can be made with the abutment as one unit and affixed into the implant with a screw (screw-retained implant crown).
Traditional Braces Alternative Your Invisalign® treatment will consist of a series of aligners (sometimes referred to as clear aligners) that you switch out about every two weeks, depending on the case. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. The Invisalign system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, so it is made to fit comfortably.
The Anatomy of a Porcelain VeneerPorcelain veneers (dental veneers) are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front of the teeth. Because they are thin, light can shine through them and they take on the natural color of the underlying tooth structure. Only a minimal amount of tooth structure may need to be removed.
Dentures with Implants Implants, or the titanium screws, can be placed to help ensure your denture (partial or full) stays in place.
Traditional Dental Crown Dental crowns (also known as caps) are made of porcelain, porcelain and metal, or entirely out of metal. A dental crown is a permanent covering that fits over a portion of existing tooth.
