Ceramic Veneers Dentist In Hollywood

Ceramic veneers can help you regain the healthy, beautiful smile that you once had, with little or no discomfort. Growing old doesn’t mean you have to have unattractive teeth. This small investment can do great wonders for your self-confidence and self-esteem.

porcelain veneers

Ceramic veneers are thin porcelain facings that are cemented to the front of teeth. The dentist will shave down a thin layer o the tooth in order for the porcelain to have room and look natural. Some patients may be good candidates to do “no prep” or minimal prep veneers such as “LUMINEERS”.

A advantage of ceramic veneers is that they reflect light similarly to natural teeth, so their look is much more natural, which is important on the front side of the teeth. Veneers can be left alone for at least 10 years (sometimes 15) after being bonded to your teeth.

Don’t put it off for another day. Call our office at (818) 508–7272.

Inlay/Onlay Dentist in Hollywood

An inlay or onlay is a lab fabricated restorative piece that fits nicely onto your tooth to replace the lost tooth structure. The advantage of this versus a crown is that less tooth structure needs to be removed in order to fully protect the tooth. Inlays and onlays can be made of gold, porcelain or lab fabricated composite.

For teeth which require crowns, one of the best esthetic options today is a Zirconia fused to porcelain crown. These crowns are extremely natural looking as well as durable and strong.

Zirconia is a material which is very similar to the translucency of tooth structure and unlike traditional metal fused to porcelain crowns, it allows light to pass through, giving it an very natural look. It is stronger than pure porcelain crowns and can have the same great esthetic result. Metal crowns can cause a black hue to gums overtime and are especially noticeable when a patient smiles.

Crowns, Inlays-onlays have distinct advantages for different patients. When a large filling can no longer be replaced as a filling, your dentist should give you options. Remember there is nothing stronger than your own tooth structure; onlay’s and inlays conserve more of your tooth.

Teeth Color
If you would like previous dental work to have a more natural appearance, there are a variety of ways we can achieve this. Silver or stained filling can be replaced with color matched bonding material. If your teeth’s enamel is discolored or damaged from wear and tear and decay, we offer several procedures allowing color matching such as veneers and crown implants. There are different bleaching options to help whiten your own tooth color darkened form years of coffee, tea wine and smoking.

Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can create imbalance in a smile. They can also pose a health risk, affecting one’s bite and causing jaw and chewing malfunction. Missing teeth can be replaced with implants, dentures, or bridges, creating a fuller smile and improving dental health.

Alignment and Spacing
Teeth which overlap, area crowded or have excessive spacing can be corrected to create a symmetrical smile. This can be accomplished with orthodontic treatment such as INVISALIGN, and may be improved with veneers, or bondings.

Balance
Cracked or chipped teeth can cause imbalance in a smile. If you have visibly damaged teeth, they can be bonded and restored to their original shape maintaining a naturally beautiful look.

Gum Balance
The appearance of the gums are very important to the smile line. If patients have a gummy smile this can be corrected with gum surgery before any veneers or crowns are placed.

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT

Maintenance for your smile makeover is a long-term commitment. Porcelain and bonded dental work often requires use of a nightguard or occlusal guard to protect your new smile and investment. Treatments like teeth whitening are usually repeated over time to undo everyday minor stains caused by food and drink. Over the course of many years veneers and crowns may need to be replaced and composite bondings may get stained and need to be enhanced.

However, the long-term results of your smile makeover will be well worth the time, and results will last as long as you take the time to you maintain your dental health. If you feel you can benefit from a smile makeover, consult our office, and see how our services can maximize your smile.

National Gum Care Month – How To Prevent Gum Disease

September is National Gum Care Month!

Gum disease / Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition affecting the teeth. As the bacteria gather in the gum pockets that surround the teeth, they release toxins that cause inflammation and slowly start eating away at the bone that supports your teeth. If a lot of bone is lost, the teeth subsequently become loose and may need to be extracted.

How to Prevent Gum Disease

Regular dental visits are not the only thing you can do to prevent gum disease. By practicing the following habits, you can stay healthy and keep gum disease away:

  • Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Don’t just clean your teeth; Remember the gums around your teeth are just as important! Also plaque on your tongue can easily host a variety of bacteria, not to mention cause bad breath.
  • Whether you are using a regular toothbrush or a manual one, the most important thing is where you place the toothbrush. This can help!
  • Use an antiseptic, fluoride, or anti-plaque mouthwash. Any other type of mouthwash won’t do you much good.
  • Floss daily by curving the floss around each tooth, “forming a C shape” and gently moving it under the gum line. By moving it up and down gently, you can scrape off the hidden plaque.
  • From time to time, use disclosing tablets found in most drugstores. These chewable items will color the plaque leftover from brushing, showing you what you missed.
  • Of course, see your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. No matter how good you are at keeping your teeth clean, your dentist can help you do it better!

Gum Disease Treatment – Toluca, CA

gum disease

It may surprise you, but dental care doesn’t stop at just keeping your teeth healthy. When it comes to maintaining good oral health, your gums are just as important as your teeth. Periodontal disease is a broad term used to describe the various diseases that form in the gums. These can range from simple inflammation of the gums to more serious diseases that can result in tooth loss and bone damage.

Gum disease can be slowed, stopped, even completely prevented with the proper dental care. When plaque gets on your teeth and doesn’t get cleaned off by correct and regular brushing and flossing, it can harden, forming “tartar” or “calculus”. Once plaque becomes tartar, there’s no brushing it off. Only a visit to the dentist’s office can get the tartar off of your teeth. The tartar can form underneath your gums as well. The longer that plaque and tartar is left on your teeth, the more harm they cause.
