Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers may be just the esthetic solution for you to achieve the perfect white smile you desire. Veneering a tooth means to cover its facial, or front, surface. A fine layer of porcelain is bonded to the tooth to dramatically enhance its position, size, color and shape. Porcelain veneers are as strong as your own teeth and can be employed to eliminate spaces between teeth and reshape small, worn or otherwise imperfect teeth. Veneers can also be use to cover stained or discolored teeth such as those caused by tetracycline. Let Dr. Frey give you the perfect white smile you deserve in the span of one or two office visits.
Porcelain Fillings
Old, unsightly mercury fillings are removed and replaced with porcelain ones. The porcelain holds the tooth structure together, strengthening the teeth. Mercury fillings often crack and break teeth because they are not bonded to them. Porcelain fillings are also used in lieu of destructive crowns because they keep the natural shape and form of the tooth. Patients are often not given the option of having porcelain fillings instead of crowns, and unlike the fillings, crowns require the tooth structure to be drilled down to a stub. Porcelain fillings offer patients metal-free dentistry, which allows light to flow through and reflect off the teeth, leaving a more natural smile.
Laser Treatment
Utilizing Diode and Argon lasers Dr. David S. Frey can make any cosmetic procedure easy and effortless. Diode lasers change the shape of teeth by modifying the gum-line. Through this procedure smaller teeth can appear larger, and larger teeth can look more in proportion with others. The Argon lasers are used for bonding and whitening. They provide a higher bond strength when placing porcelain veneers on the teeth. In just a few seconds these lasers transform a person's smile.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding involves techniques where special tooth colored dental resins and composites are used to change the shape and color of teeth as well as to close unattractive spaces. Using bonding material that matches your own tooth color, Dr. Frey reshapes and restores chipped or broken teeth and covers stained or discolored teeth. Unlike crowns or caps, direct bonding requires only a minimal amount of tooth reduction making it a very conservative procedure. The procedure usually requires only one visit and it is not painful. Because the bonding material is matches the color of your own teeth, you may wish to consider having Dr. Frey whiten your teeth prior to having the dental bonding procedure performed. Be confident that dental bonding will create a spectacular new smile for you that is very natural in appearance.
