Cosmetic Veneers
An excellent alternative to crowns, veneers can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment, and creating uniformity. Veneers, which are made of thin, customized material designed to slide over the teeth, look incredibly natural, are long lasting, and are relatively easy to apply. Please contact us today to find out more about veneers.
Teeth Whitening
Many of us feel that our smiles are most striking when our teeth look especially white, but unfortunately, soft drinks, coffee, tea, and tobacco can leave behind ugly stains. To help you restore your gleaming, bright white smile and to give you an added boost of confidence, we offer many options, such as in-office bleaching and take-home whitening procedures. To learn more about our tooth whitening options and find out which one is best for you, contact us!
Zoom!™
Dr. Miller specializes in the latest, most effective tooth whitening procedure available—the Zoom!™ in-office whitening system. Safe, fast, and convenient, Zoom!™ uses a combination of formulated lighting and hydrogen peroxide-based bleach to whiten teeth—typically by six to 10 shades—in one brief office visit. With simple, regular home touch-ups and careful maintenance, a beautiful Zoom!™ smile can last indefinitely.
Zoom!™ Whitening Gel is carefully applied to the enamel (the tooth's protective coating) and heated by a special Zoom!™ Whitening Lamp. The gel breaks itself down and then releases oxygen into the teeth's dentin (the main, hard part of the tooth) and enamel. The oxygen bleaches away stains without affecting the structure of the teeth. After one hour, the gel is removed, and a five-minute fluoride treatment is administered. The result is brighter, whiter teeth that are essentially free of coffee, tea, soft drink, wine, or tobacco stains.
Although many patients who try Zoom!™ notice no side effects, some might experience tooth sensitivity, discomfort from the heat lamp, or mild tingling sensations. Zoom!™ in-office whitening system is safe for most patients, although those who nurse, are pregnant, take prescription or homeopathic light-sensitive drugs, have skin cancer, or receive chemotherapy should not undergo the procedure.
Please contact us today to find out if Zoom!™ is right for you.
Bonding
Stained, chipped, cracked, or misaligned teeth can dull a smile, but bonding can quickly and painlessly restore your smile’s natural beauty. During the procedure, a thin coating of plastic or resin is painted over the damaged teeth, strengthening them and making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Contact us for more information.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Gone are the days when tooth ailments and cavities could only be treated with unsightly metal fillings. Today, modern, tooth-colored fillings made of durable resin or porcelain can be bonded to your teeth for a stronger, more natural-looking effect. These revolutionary fillings are virtually undetectable and are easy to apply. To find out if tooth-colored fillings are a good option for you, please contact us today.
Implant Prosthetics
Dental implants are an excellent solution to missing individual teeth. Not only do they eliminate gaps, but they also provide a comfortable fit and look completely natural. The procedure involves attaching artificial teeth below the gum line using an anchor. The anchor holds the implant in place, allowing excess bone and gum to grow around it. The result is a strong, secure tooth that is virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Because dental implants require surgery, they are intended only for candidates with sufficient bone and healthy gums. For more information about dental implants, please contact us today.
Crowns
Also called caps, crowns are natural-looking covers that fit snugly over teeth to conceal cracked, badly discolored, injured, or chipped teeth. Crowns minimize physical discomfort in and provide support to damaged teeth. Ultimately, crowns can improve the overall appearance of your smile while making your teeth more resistant to injury. For more information about crowns, contact us.
Bridges
Sometimes a bit more work is needed to give you the smile you want. If you are missing teeth, having trouble speaking or chewing, and noticing strain when biting, bridges may be the ideal procedure to help make your mouth healthy and beautiful again. Bridges literally “bridge” gaps between teeth by filling them with strong, natural-looking artificial teeth. Bridges can only be removed by a dentist but are comfortable and proven to make teeth strong. To find out if bridges are the right option for you, please contact us today.
Dentures and Partial Dentures
Today’s technology allows us to fully customize dentures to fit your mouth precisely and to exactly match the color of your existing teeth. A good fit ensures chewing comfort and added strength. If you have any questions about dentures, we can help. Please contact our office today.
Full dentures
Dentures are an excellent option for people who have lost all their teeth. Precisely designed and molded to fit one’s mouth, full dentures slide over the gums and are held in place with your own cheek and mouth muscles. They allow for comfortable chewing and keep the mouth and its surrounding facial features in proper alignment. To learn more about full dentures, please contact us today.
Partial dentures
Partial or removable dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth. Usually made of resin or metal, partial dentures are held in place with metal clasps or precision devices (tooth-colored, discreet clasps) that are attached to natural teeth. When properly fitted and designed, partial dentures are strong, comfortable, and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Partial dentures can help with chewing, improve speech, and prevent sagging of the cheeks and lips. Contact us to find out more about partial dentures.
