Cosmetic Dentistry in Alpha, NJ
What you need to know about cosmetic dental treatments:
There are many cosmetic options to choose from to fix unsightly dental issues.
Treatments to think about are:
Whitening treatments for darkened, aging teeth or teeth that are stained from coffee drinking and smoking. Apple Dental Care offers both an in-office whitening treatment, which takes about an hour, and whitening kits to take home, which you can use at your convenience in the privacy of your home.
For more substantial cosmetic needs, there are several treatments available at Richard Lachenmayr, D.M.D. For instance, you might consider porcelain veneers if you have teeth that are:
- Badly shaped or broken
- Cracked or chipped
- Poorly aligned
- Heavily discolored or stained
- A veneer is a thin laminate of porcelain placed over the front teeth to hide imperfections. Dental veneers are created in a dental laboratory by skilled technicians and then cemented at Apple Dental Care. The result is a sparkling, natural and beautiful smile.
- Veneers are usually created out of porcelain; however, composite, a tooth-colored resin can be used for veneer material to correct small chips or cracks in your front teeth.
Composite is also the material of choice for cosmetically beautiful fillings. Composite is color-matched to your existing teeth and your new composite fillings will be virtually undetectable. Composites can be used to replace unsightly metal fillings and they can correct teeth that are:
- Badly shaped
- Excessively discolored
- Poorly aligned
