How do I know if Cosmetic Dentistry is right for me?
Anyone who wants a whiter or straighter smile is a good candidate for cosmetic
dentistry. If you have crooked, yellowing teeth or are self-conscious about your
smile, it can be transformed. You can avoid years of shiny, silver braces and
multiple visits to an orthodontist by going to a cosmetic dentist.
What is Instant Orthodontics, and will it hurt?
Instant Orthodontics is a modern procedure that straightens teeth using veneers
instead of braces. It can also close large gaps and correct overcrowding of
teeth in just 2-3 visits. These restorations are placed above the gum-line,
which helps keep the gum tissue healthy. The result is teeth that look beautiful
and natural.
Instant Orthodontics is typically a pain-free procedure that only requires the
use of local anesthetics.
How long will my porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers are intended to be long lasting restorations. The materials
and bonding adhesives today are better than ever. We have so much confidence in
them, that we back them up with our ‘Last time pay Guarantee’. Click on warranty
for details.
What is a porcelain inlay or onlay?
Porcelain inlays and onlays are fabricated outside of the mouth like crowns, but
they fit into your tooth like a piece from a jigsaw puzzle. They are very
strong, they match your tooth’s natural color and do not contain mercury like a
standard silver filling.
Can bleaching gels harm my teeth?
Will my teeth become more sensitive to hot or cold? Clinical studies have shown that bleaching gels cause no harm to the teeth
when used properly under direct dental supervision.
Your teeth may feel sensitive for up to 24 hours after the bleaching process but
this almost always subsides after that.
What are the benefits of laser whitening as opposed to gel whitening?
Both are effective methods and both are offered at Highland Park Dental. The
main advantage of laser whitening is that you can achieve your perfect shade
much quicker and you don’t have to use trays, which are worn to sleep and even
to work. When lasers are used the patients can relax in a comfortable dental
atmosphere while watching the television or listening to music, and have their
teeth whitened in as little as one hour.
I like my teeth, but my gums are uneven. Is there a procedure to correct this
problem? Yes! With our special new instrument, we can quickly and painlessly raise,
or even the gum-line. Contact our office if you have more questions on this, or
any of our procedures.
