to irritate your mouth. The almost invisible
aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a
smile that you will be proud of. As your teeth
move, the aligners are changed and results are
often seen in six months to a year. The ease of
use with the Invisalign system has made it the
choice of over half a million people who now have

Composite Fillings
A
composite (tooth colored) filling is used to
repair a tooth that is affected by decay. The
decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be
removed and then filled with a composite filling.
Composite fillings are most appropriate for small
areas of decay, and can be closely matched to the
color of existing teeth. These fillings are
usually placed in one appointment. The composite
filling will then be precisely placed, shaped,
and polished, restoring your tooth to its
original shape and function.
Porcelain
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are very thin pieces of tooth
shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape
and color) by a professional dental laboratory.
They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create
a beautiful and attractive smile. Veneers can
completely reshape your teeth and smile!
Porcelain veneers can correct for chipped or worn
teeth, severely discolored or stained teeth,
teeth that are too small or large, or unwanted
spaces. Veneers can create a uniform, white,
beautiful smile.
Getting veneers usually requires two visits to
complete the process. The teeth are prepared by
shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of
the veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth is
taken and a shade (color) will then be chosen by
you and the dentist. On the second visit, the
teeth will be cleaned with special liquids to
achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then
placed between the tooth and veneer and a special
light beam is used to harden and set the bond.
Porcelain
Crowns
Porcelain
crowns are a covering that encase the entire
tooth surface restoring it to its original shape
and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth
structure that cannot be restored with fillings
or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns,
porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most
popular, because they resemble your natural
teeth. Porcelain crowns are made to match the
shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a
natural, long-lasting beautiful smile. Porcelain
crowns can repair broken or fractured teeth, aid
in the cosmetic appearance of a tooth, repair
decayed teeth, repair fractured fillings, and
protect a tooth that has had a root canal.
A crown procedure usually requires two
appointments. Your first appointment will include
preparing the tooth by removing any decay and
shaping the surface to properly fit the crown. An
impression will be taken and a custom temporary
crown will be placed on your tooth. At your
second appointment, your temporary crown will be
removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new
crown will be carefully placed to ensure the
spacing and bite are accurate.
