Why Choose Berwyn Family Dentistry For Your Cosmetic Dentistry Needs
Looking for something to smile about? Dr. B. takes pride in transforming her patients’ teeth to their absolute best! She has an artistic eye for symmetry and clinical breadth of experience to take the necessary treatment steps. Patients are shown exactly what their smile can look like through digital smile makeovers.
Bonding
Chips, cracks, or gaps in teeth are fixed through applying and molding a tooth-color-matched composite material.
Bonding Process:
First, Dr. B. will condition the surface of a tooth’s enamel to help the adherence of bonding material.
Then she applies the putty-like resin to the tooth, molding it to match existing teeth and restore the tooth’s size and length.
Lastly, she uses a special light to cure the material, followed by polishing with specialized burs and discs
Veneers
These custom-created very thin porcelain shells perfect the look of teeth by closing gaps, whitening, and improving irregularly shaped or misaligned teeth. Typically made of porcelain or resin that’s bonded directly over existing teeth, veneers conceal cracks, chips, irregularities, or discoloration for an even and symmetrical look. Dr. B. may suggest veneers for just one tooth or several. Since porcelain is stain-resistant, they will remain bright for years to come. Like porcelain, resin veneers can also be matched to your natural tooth color.
Veneer Process:
Dr. B. will prepare the teeth.
She will take an impression of teeth with a digital scanner.
She will place temporary veneers on your teeth while your permanent ones are being fabricated at the local lab.
When the custom veneers are ready, she will bond them to teeth and make any necessary adjustments.
Dental Implants Restoration
With a goal of replacing missing or damaged teeth, dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that can be used to replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth, or all of the teeth. The dental implant post, which is made of titanium, is placed by a surgeon in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. It replaces the missing tooth root and over a healing period bonds with the jawbone. After it’s healed, Dr. B. will attach an abutment to the implant. Then she will attach the restoration, which can be a crown, bridge, or denture.
Each dental implant restoration is custom made to fit your smile comfortably and aesthetically. This is a great option for restoring your smile because the implant is designed to look, function and feel just like your natural teeth, and with proper care, it can last a lifetime.
Digital Smile Design
Every smile is unique and every picture tells a story. Dr. B. offers a personalized, comprehensive treatment plan called a digital smile makeover to enhance the beauty of your smile. The makeover consists of one or more cosmetic and restorative dental treatments—from bridges and crowns, to bonding, fillings, implants complete or partial dentures, veneers or whitening. Dr. B. will take a digital impression of a patient’s facial and dental structure to be able to generate a mockup of a patient’s transformed smile following treatment. Issues such as missing or gapped teeth, chipped, crooked or stained teeth will be eliminated. The patient will be left with a gorgeous smile.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Moving teeth discreetly. These removable and non-invasive clear aligners are barely noticeable. They successfully move teeth into their optimal position faster than traditional braces in most cases and can address common issues such as crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite or gaps between teeth. A patient wears them for 22 hours a day and removes them to eat and brush their teeth. Custom-made and computer-generated, Invisalign can be used by patients of all ages.
Invisalign Process:
Dr. B. first takes a scan of your teeth.
She can show you a “before” and “after” digital simulation of your teeth.
Your information will be sent to the Invisalign lab for your sets of aligners to be fabricated.
When the aligners arrive, she’ll schedule an appointment to go over the use of each set and how often to change them, usually about every two weeks.
She will check on your progress throughout treatment. Your teeth will gradually and gently be moved into optimum position.
Difference Between Invisalign and Conventional Braces?:
Invisalign is less noticeable than traditional metal braces and can sometimes takes less time and causes less discomfort to the patient during treatment.
KOR Teeth Whitening
Brighten your life by brightening your smile! Dr. B. has chosen the best system on the market—KOR Teeth Whitening—for both in-office and at-home treatment. Both treatments tap into a powerful yet safe whitening gel applied to the surface of your teeth. For at-home, she creates whitening trays customized to your teeth. You wear them while you sleep for 14 days.
Whatever the reasons for your dull, stained teeth (natural aging, poor hygiene habits, drinking coffee/wine/sodas, smoking, illness or taking certain medications), KOR lightens and brightens teeth several shades to boost your self-confidence and give you something to smile about!
