Veneers-to gets that million dollar Hollywood smile

A veneer is a thin porcelain shell bonded on top of your natural tooth (about one millimeter in thickness, somewhat like the thinness of a baby's fingernail).

The natural tooth requires minimal preparation. It's more like lightly reshaping your teeth in most cases. With a veneer there's also no dark line above the tooth, which you sometimes see with a crown. A crown, or cap, covers the entire tooth and reduces it to a peg. Obviously, veneers are more conservative in preparation and it is also a less invasive procedure. At our office it's the treatment of choice when you want a complete smile makeover How long do porcelain veneers last—and will they stain like natural teeth? Veneers should last from10 to 15 years, sometimes longer. They're significantly more resistant to stain and discoloration, and unlike your natural teeth maintain their brightness and luster for many years.

Tooth colored fillings

Traditional silver fillings can eventually corrode and leak, staining the filling and, many times, giving the tooth an unsightly black appearance.

Today, amalgam-free fillings are popular for their aesthetic and health value. One of the principle components of amalgam composition in the past has been mercury. Overexposure to mercury can have debilitating effects on humans. For this reason we at aesthete have moved on to tooth colored fillings whenever possible.

Bonding

Teeth whitening alone cannot always resurrect a beautiful smile.

Dental bonding can be used to repair spacing, slight cracks or chips and conceal troublesome stains on your teeth. Are you in need of a filling to enhance the appearance of one of your teeth? If so, then we at aesthete can be of help there are many advantages to dental bonding (when compared to outdated, mercury fillings). However, you must choose a cosmetic dentist that has the skills and experience necessary to ensure that your dental bonding procedure produces incredible results for your smile. Choosing the right dentist for the procedure is important, because if the filling is not created or placed properly, the patient may experience breakage or sensitivity in the tooth. However, cosmetic dental bonding is an excellent, long-lasting solution for repairing, restoring, or enhancing a damaged tooth (when done correctly). At aesthetes, we use a highly aesthetic bonding material to fix dark or white spots on your teeth. In addition, we can repair chips or cracks in teeth, as well as reduce the appearance of crooked or misaligned teeth

Re-contouring

Sometimes our teeth are not shaped exactly as we would like them to be, and as such, seeing a cosmetic dentist is recommended.

Re-contouring is the process of reshaping crooked, chipped, or cracked teeth, oftentimes in just one appointment. Re-contouring involves subtle changes, and is mainly used to alter the shape or positioning of your teeth. Unlike some procedures in cosmetic dentistry, this is virtually a pain-free, simple procedure with minimal side effects.

Porcelain crowns and bridge

Crowns (or caps) are a restorative option that will cover the entire tooth for strength and function.

Crowns can made of porcelain or gold and provide years of service for the patient. We at aesthete offer the latest in crown technology -All ceramic crowns, cad cam based crowns, lava and procera based crowns. For more information please do not hesitate to contact us.

Inlays and Onlays

Patients who have suffered from tooth decay or trauma to their teeth could be ideal candidates for inlay and onlay replacements to improve the appearance of their smile, as well as to create a stronger tooth.

Developed as an alternative to full coverage dental crowns, the more conservative Inlay/Onlay restoration is fabricated from a molded impression of the broken tooth then cemented to the remains of the tooth during a second visit. As a temporary solution to the problem in between appointments, patients are often fitted with a provisional inlay or onlay in the shape of the final fitting to ensure protection and prevent tooth sensitivity for the individual. Patients who select the Inlay/Onlay restoration option are able to pick from Gold, Porcelain, Zirconium or Composite resin materials when choosing the fixture, which may benefit image-conscious individuals seeking a natural-looking solution to their dental issues.
