Porcelain Veneers

The Optimal Dental Makeover

Porcelain veneers restore the natural beauty of your smile in as few as two visits to our office. Veneers are thin custom-made ceramic shells that are placed in front of your teeth using very strong cement. They can be used to correct a variety of dental conditions such as:

• Discolored teeth
• Misaligned teeth
• Chips, cracks and wear
• Spaces between teeth

A Perfect Fit

Because they are made specifically for you, veneers feel and look natural, working in harmony with the geometry of your face. The process to create a custom veneer includes:

• Shaping the recipient teeth
• Creating precise working models of your teeth
• Using these models to artistically craft the veneers
• Bonding the veneers to the teeth using a strong adhesive

Science With a Heart

Designing a new smile for you is a delicate process that requires an artistic eye and unique attention to detail. Our dentists personally design and prepare each porcelain veneer treatment to ensure your satisfaction.

You Are in Control Of Your Care

We have the advanced Smile-Vision Cosmetic Imaging System, which allows you to see what your treatment will look like on you before we even start.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening – A Popular Trend

Tooth whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration. Whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it can greatly improve how your teeth look. Most dentists perform tooth whitening.

There are two main types of whitening procedures. Vital whitening is performed on teeth that have live nerves. Non-vital whitening is done on a tooth that has had root-canal treatment and no longer has a live nerve.

Whitening is not a one-time procedure. It will need to be repeated from time to time if you want to maintain the brighter color.

Make Your Smile Shine Bright

When you visit us for a teeth whitening consultation, we care about much more than just the appearance of your teeth: we seek to improve your overall dental health and well-being. You can choose between multiple whitening options, to fit your expectations and budget.

We Give You Options

Option 1: In-Office Whitening Services

Professionally done, this option provides the most noticeable results in the shortest time. You will walk out of our office with significantly whiter teeth in less than an hour.

Option 2: Custom Take-Home Appliance

We will take an impression of your teeth and create custom trays that fit you exactly. Using the bleaching gel at home, you will see results even after the first night. Complete a week to ten days of use for maximum natural whiteness.

Option 3: Standard Take-Home Appliance

Innovative treatment trays are specially designed for home use and come preloaded with a treatment gel membrane that adheres to your teeth for the 60 minutes of wear time. Results are visible from the first day.

To help you make an educated decision regarding teeth whitening, here are some of the pros and cons of this procedure:

• Helps improve your smile and your appearance
• Boosts a person’s self esteem
• Helps make you look younger
• You have to avoid certain foods and drinks to keep your teeth whiter for longer
• Maintenance is actually required when you have your teeth whitened
• You may suffer from sore gums and teeth

Cosmetic Bonding

Easy and Effective

Quicker and simpler than porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding is often an effective way of correcting:

• Misshapen or broken teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Teeth crowding
• Rotated teeth
• Chipped edges

Great Looking

Once applied, hardened and polished, this dental composite is safe, long-lasting and consistent with your natural teeth color, making it virtually undetectable.

You Can Count on Us

Both technical skill and dental artistry are required for a successful cosmetic bonding treatment. It involves the careful application of an enamel-like high-tech dental composite onto specific parts of your teeth to sculpt your ideal smile. Our time-proven success with hundreds of satisfied patients is your best assurance that you are in good hands.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Rejuvenate Your Teeth

As technology has improved, new and better materials and techniques have become available for tooth fillings. Replacing discolored or metallic fillings with these advanced dental composites can provide you with:

• A more youthful and natural appearance
• Better strength and longevity for your teeth
• A reduction in potential future dental problems

Just One Visit

Tooth-colored fillings are a simpler and faster procedure than porcelain crowns and are an optimal choice in many cases. You can get a complete dental filling treatment in just one visit to our office.

Long-term Results

Only the best dental fillings are beautiful, long-lasting and protect your teeth from future decay. Many of our patients have known us for decades, and our work speaks for itself.

Porcelain Crowns

Beautiful, Lasting Restorations

In certain cases, the best choice to give your smile a natural, youthful appearance is a porcelain crown. Porcelain crowns are porcelain coverings cemented into place over an entire tooth. They provide:

• Coverage and protection for the tooth
• Restoration of the tooth’s natural shape
• Strength and durability
• Natural, life-like appearance and translucency
• The most ideal esthetic results

Exceptionally High-Quality Value

Crown restorations require incredible precision and craftsmanship. An error of even a fraction of a millimeter can make your crown uncomfortable, unstable, unhealthy or short-lived. State-of-the-art crowns with professional care, on the other hand, can last for decades. Our dentists have the experience, training, skills and artistic eye that can give you a crown restoration with a perfect fit, great looks and longevity.

An Effective Solution

In order for a tooth to properly receive a crown and support it, some of the natural tooth tissue needs to be sculpted and removed. Crowns are mostly recommended:

• After root canal therapy
• If a tooth is cracked
• If a filling fails
• If you’ve had a very large cavity

A Relationship Built on Trust

We seek to build a consistent relationship with our patients, where year after year, as part of your preventive care plan, we monitor and maintain your restorations in an optimal state. Our patients know us and know that we stand behind our work. We know we can deliver the quality care you deserve.

Dental Implants

A Permanent Solution

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are inserted directly into your jawbone, replacing the roots of missing teeth. They can provide firm and lasting support for single-tooth restorations (crowns), multiple teeth restorations (bridges) or entire dentures. If you have lost a tooth or several teeth, nothing performs better than a successful dental implant.

Get Rid of Your Bridge or Denture!

Once fully integrated into your jawbone, a dental implant has none of the problems associated with bridges (wear of the neighboring teeth, pain and unnatural appearance) or dentures (tilting and shifting, pain, discomfort, periodic re-fittings and difficulty chewing). Implants look and feel almost identical to natural teeth!

Prevents Bone Loss

After a tooth is lost, the jawbone below it gradually loses strength and eventually recedes. Using implants is the only way to avoid this deterioration: implants connect the jawbone to the natural forces that keep it healthy and strong.

Cavity-Free

Dental implant restorations never get cavities, and gum disease is very rare in patients that follow the standard preventive care guidelines. Dental implants, while relatively straightforward in concept, involve sophisticated aspects of the biology and physics of the mouth. Your chances of a successful implant increase dramatically if your caretaker has the necessary knowledge and experience to deal effectively with the complexities of the human mouth.

Ideal Esthetic and Functional Results

New technology offers a 3-dimensional picture of the jaw bone making it possible to plan the most ideal implant placement and achieve the most ideal esthetic and functional results. Whether a back molar is placed in the strongest bone for function or a front tooth is replaced to restore appearance and comfort, the 3D scan is critical for the ideal result.

Our Carestream( Kodak) 3D imaging system is the state of the art. Planning and completion of the final crown can be completed digitally in many cases. Please ask us about this exciting technology.

You Can Trust Our Doctors

When your health is at stake, the doctors at Art & Science Dentistry’s steady, experienced hands are your best assurance that you are receiving the highest level of care available, from some of the most respected dental practitioners in the region. Come visit us and ask our doctors directly if dental implants are a good choice for you.

Our doctors understand the important uses of dental implants in restoring missing teeth on an entire dentition. The success of dental implants is described very well in the following excerpt from The International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry:

“Osseointegrated dental implants become a predictable treatment option for single, partially edentulous, and completely edentulous spans in selected patients. The survival rates for implant-supported single- and multiple-tooth restorations have been reported to be comparable to those for implant-supported prostheses in completely edentulous patients. However, the goal of modern implant therapy entails more than just the successful osseointegration (survival) of the implant. A successful result must also include an esthetic and functional restoration surrounded by stable peri-implant tissue levels that are in harmony with the existing dentition. Stable levels of peri-implant bone represent one defining parameter of implant success. In fact, Albrektsson et al, Albrektsson and Isidor, and Roos et al defined a successful implant in terms of bone loss around an implant restoration, which after the accepted crestal bone loss of no more than 1.5 mm during the first year after placement should be no more than 0.2 mm during each subsequent year.”  – Wagenberg, B., DMD. and Froum, S.J., DDS
