Yes, we know it is now the 1st of December! However, our case of the month for November is truly stunning and deserves to be posted. The case highlights the future of cosmetic dentistry- ABC A is for alignment B is for bleaching C is for composite bonding Just take a look:
Our case of the month for August is one involving cosmetic bonding. In this case, the edges of the central front teeth were worn, chipped and almost transparent.
Cosmetic bonding is a technique that can repair fractured, uneven, chipped and spaced teeth using a non invasive adhesive process. There is virtually no drilling required, no need for needles and no pain!
What's more is that we have recently improved our bonding process using fluid abrasion. The bond strength using fluid abrasion prior to cosmetic bonding is greatly enhanced.
Just take a look at the before and after photographs:
Our case study today is on cosmetic bonding. For those of you who are unaware of the process of cosmetic bonding, here is a recap:
1. It is a completely NON-invasive treatment for chipped, fractured, spaced and uneven teeth.
2. It is additive i.e we bond to the natural tooth surface.
3. There is no need for any drilling of the underlying tooth.
4. There is no need for any needles or injections.
5. It is far more affordable than traditional treatments such as porcelain veneers.
6. It is easy to maintain.
7. It is reversible.
Just take a look at our photographs:
Our case of the month for March 2015 is a fantastic smile transformation using ABC. What is ABC? Simple: 1. A is for ALIGNMENT. The teeth are straightened using one of our adult orthodontic techniques. 2. B is for BLEACHING. Whitening is carried out using a take home kit or our new Philips Zoom LED in chair whitening. 3. C is for COSMETIC BONDING. Any chipped, uneven, rough edges can be restored with our tooth like adhesive bonding techniques. ABC is the non invasive smile makeover. There is no need for drilling away of healthy tooth enamel, no need for injections and there is no pain. What could be better? Take a look for yourself:
We are now well into 2015 and what better way to start the year than taking the first steps to a new smile. Our preferred smile makeover is as simple as ABC: A is for alignment - straighten teeth using discreet or invisible braces B is for bleaching- whiten teeth using or brand new Philips LED whitening system C is for cosmetic bonding- create symmetry by bonding the latest cosmetic composites to uneven edges, short or fractured teeth This technique is totally NON INVASIVE! We do not need to drill your teeth, you will not need injections and the process is virtually pain free. For example, please take a look at our case below:
Our case of the month for November involves cosmetic bonding of a front tooth. The tooth in question was treated after orthodontic teeth straightening. Once the teeth were nice and straight, the smile was significantly enhanced with our minimally invasive technique of cosmetic bonding.
A brief overview of the technique:
1. The tooth is cleaned and polished. Any old composite filling material must be removed and any sharp edges smoothed.
2. Washing and drying with an etching gel.
3. Coating the tooth with a fine bonding layer. This is set with a special light at a certain wavelength.
4. Incremental layers of the composite bonding material are added until the new outline has been achieved.
5. Careful contouring and polishing of the new restoration.
6. Occlusal (bite) analysis and final aesthetic evaluation.
Here are the before and after photos:
We strongly believe in the non invasive dentistry wherever possible. There are many benefits to a minimal approach such as:
1. Less invasion leads to healthier teeth and gums.
2. Less biological damage.
3. Less risk of complications.
4. Maintenance is simple and cost effective.
5. Less costly!
6. Natural results.
For example, just look at our case below with regards to a non invasive smile makeover:
Our case of the month for June involves repairing worn and fractured edges of the upper front teeth using composite bonding. Cosmetic bonding is a fantastic technique to repair teeth using minimally invasive dentistry. The process involves NO drilling, NO needles and NO pain. Please take a look at our case:
Are you getting married this year? Have you set the date? Would you like straight, white teeth for the wedding day? If the answer is yes, we can help! Depending on your desires, we can help you achieve a beaming smile for your wedding day. For example:
A dental hygiene visit is between 30-60 minutes, instantly providing a fresher, cleaner mouth and with full stain removal!
The usual time frame for teeth whitening is just 2 weeks. However, for more advanced cases a few extra weeks may be required. Our preferred technique is the take home kit using Philips Zoom gel.
Composite bonding can be achieved in one visit- a new smile instantly.
Porcelain or composite veneers require a time frame of at least 4 weeks from start to finish. In those urgent cases, we can speed things up to 2 weeks.
For mild cases, teeth alignment can be achieved in as little as 6 weeks! In general, it is wise to allow 4-6 months for treatment.
For more comprehensive cases, a period of 8-14 months may be required so plan well in advance!
Missing teeth can be replaced using dental implants in as little as 3 months. However, there are instances when we can provide a new tooth in a day!
Whatever your needs, we have the answer. Why wait, to achieve the smile of your dreams in time for your wedding contact us today.
