Porcelain Veneers

Monday, November 9th, 2009

This is the window-dressing option. Here you simply have perfectly-shaped veneers fixed to the front surface of your teeth to make them look the part. The added bonus is that you can improve the coloring of your teeth at the same time. The downside is that you’ll need to have some of your tooth-structure removed to stick on the veneer (I’m sorry, but the thought of this makes me shiver) and they don’t last forever.

Look, not all of these options are suitable for everybody, so you need to go with your orthodontist’s advice, but at least you know that you are not stuck with having a mouthful of metal for months on end.

Lingual Braces

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

These are similar to the metal wire contraptions, but are fitted to the inside of the teeth – so no one will notice (except you, because they can be rather uncomfortable). The plus on these is that they can be used in severe cases of misalignment, unlike the invisible option. The minus is that it can take longer.

Composite Bonding:

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Chipped, broken, discolored or decayed teeth may be repaired or have their appearance corrected using a procedure called composite bonding. A dental composite material with the look of enamel and dentin is applied into the cavity or onto the surface of a tooth, where it is then sculpted into shape, contoured and hardened with a high-intensity light. The result is a restoration that blends invisibly with the remainder of the surrounding tooth structure and the rest of your natural teeth to create a healthy, bright smile.
