Think of a porcelain veneer like a contact lens, but for your tooth! It is an extremely thin sheet of porcelain (0.3mm to 0.5mm, about the thickness of a business card) bonded to your tooth. Why porcelain? Because it most naturally replicates human enamel. These veneers are used to change the shape, color, size, and symmetry of your teeth, giving you the perfect natural smile you are looking for.

Crystalign is a system of clear plastic trays used as orthodontic devices; it essentially acts as clear braces. A crystalign tray fits exactly over your teeth and moves them gradually to an ideal arch-form, achieving the perfect bite alignment and a beautiful smile. Crystalign typically moves your teeth quicker than traditional braces. No one will notice that you are wearing braces because the trays are almost invisible.

Bleaching refers to lightening a tooth from the inside-out using peroxide. It brightens the inside (dentin) of the tooth, making the whole natural tooth whiter. Almost everyone is a candidate for teeth bleaching. The most common question asked by patients is “does it remove the external layer of the tooth?” Definitely not. It’s safe and does not remove the external layer of the enamel. It occurs deep inside the tooth. However, some dark teeth are much more resistant to whitening procedures. Discolored Teeth with dark grey or reddish shades are the most resistant; an example appears in teeth affected by tetracycline. Still, even these dark teeth will be whitened to a certain degree with long-term care. Depending on the results you desire, whitening may be an option for dark (grey/red) teeth. Otherwise, porcelain veneers are an excellent option, allowing you to choose how white your smile will be.

If you have never been a dental implant patient before, the concept and process can be confusing and strange .After being introduced to dentistry in the early 1980s, implants quickly became the gold standard for tooth replacement due to how versatile and predictable they are. Dental implants are made of titanium, one of the most bio-compatible materials on the market. It means you are likely to be an excellent candidate for implants even if you have allergy to metal. The implant is designed to function as the root of a tooth. It is placed in the jawbone, just as your tooth’s natural root is. The top portion of the implant can be a single tooth, a part of a bridge helping to replace multiple teeth, or a component designed to improve a denture or partial denture.
