treatments remain the recommended procedures for lightening discolored
teeth.

- Enamel shaping removes parts of the contouring enamel
to improve the appearance of the tooth. It may be used to correct a
very small chip. The removed enamel is irreplaceable, and may sometimes
expose dentin. It is also known as enameloplasty, odontoplasty, recontouring, reshaping, slenderizing and stripping.Contouring,
also known as tooth reshaping, is one of few instant treatments now
available in cosmetic dentistry. Dental reshaping and contouring is a
procedure to correct crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or
even overlapping teeth in just one session. The dental contouring
procedure can even be a substitute for braces under certain
circumstances. It is also a procedure of subtle changes. A few
millimeters of reduction and a few millimeters of tooth-colored
laminate is involved. Tooth reshaping, or dental contouring, is
commonly used to alter the length, shape or position of teeth
- Bonding is a process in which an enamel-like dental composite material is applied to a tooth's surface, sculpted into shape, hardened and then polished.

Composite bonding can work wonders for your smile. Using materials that
match the shade, translucency and the texture of your teeth, gaps
between teeth can be closed, spots and discolorations can be
eliminated, and your self-confidence can be enhanced through the
improved appearance of your smile. Composite bonding is excellent for
small defects in the teeth -- spots, chips, or gaps between teeth. For
smile alterations involving an entire tooth or multiple teeth,
porcelain is the material of choice. Bonding for teeth involves the use
of composite resin tooth-colored filling material. This material can be
used on the anterior (front) teeth or posterior (back) teeth. The
procedure is sometimes referred to as bonding is because an adhesive
agent is used to actually bond the resin to the tooth structure.

- Veneers
are ultra-thin, custom-made laminates that are bonded directly to the
teeth. They are an option for closing gaps or disguising discolored
teeth that do not respond well to whitening procedures.

Porcelain
veneers are routinely used to cover teeth which are discolored, worn,
chipped, or misaligned. Porcelain veneers, often alternatively termed
dental veneers or dental porcelain laminates, are wafer-thin shells of
porcelain which are bonded onto the front side of teeth in order to
cosmetically improve their appearance. Typically veneers are difficult
to stain, making veneers a very popular solution for many people
seeking that perfect smile. Strong and very durable, veneers last from
ten to fifteen years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth
without the worry of them changing color. |

| Tooth Jewelry (Twinkles)
If you can wear jewels in your ears, why not on your teeth? Why pierce an ear when you can bond the jewel to a tooth? Tooth Jewelry is handcrafted of 18K white & yellow gold. Tooth
Jewelry uses classic designs which are an elegant compliment to
standard jewelry. When placed on a tooth, the jewelry creates a
distinctive expression of one's individuality.
Tooth Jewelry is applied by using a small amount of adhesive, in a manner similar to the
application of orthodontic braces. The backside of Tooth Jewelry is specifically patented
to maintain adherence to the tooth, allowing the jewelry to be worn
indefinitely. However, it can easily be removed or replaced by your dentist. The application of Tooth Jewelry is cosmetic dentistry and
does not harm the tooth in any way. Twinkles are safe, reversible,
exclusive body art that leaves no permanent mark, letting you display a
fun, personal form of self expression with a great sense of style. |

| Tooth-colored fillings and inlays
|
|
Tooth-colored
fillings and inlays replace the gold and
silver of the past with natural looking
materials.
In the 1970's, "white fillings" came
into common use. These "tooth-colored
fillings" were made of a plastic dental
resin filled with microscopic filler particles
and were called composites. When dental
composites were first introduced, they
could only be used in the front teeth,
because they weren't strong enough to withstand
the chewing pressure of the back teeth
(in excess of 40,000 pounds per square
inch).
The composites of today have been
vastly improved over the ones developed
nearly
forty years ago. They are strong, durable,
and attractive. In 1999, the American Dental
Association gave white fillings its seal
of approval and now many insurance plans
cover their use. |

All Ceramic Crowns |
|
It might come as a surprise,
but “all-ceramic” crowns
or “caps”, have been around for most of the past century.
These restorations have no metal and are
totally made of ceramic glass sometimes strengthened
with a translucent material such as
zirconium. They have always been a highly
desirable cosmetic solution for front teeth
even without the availability of modern bonding.
Incorporating bonding with all-ceramic crowns
can have the strength and beauty
of unblemished natural teeth. Today teeth
that have too much damage to be corrected
with fillings or veneers can still be made
white and natural with all ceramic crowns. |

- Some advantages of porcelain crowns are:
-
Porcelain crowns are extremely durable
-
Excellent choice for restoring severely fractured
teeth, heavily worn teeth and for replacing old crowns
-
Highly resistant to stain or color change
-
No black line at the gum line
Gum lift
is a cosmetic dental procedure that raises and sculpts the gum line.
The procedure involves reshaping the tissue and/or underlying bones to
create the appearance of longer or more symmetrical teeth.
