Aesthetic Dentistry Procedures
Cosmetic dentistry treatments can be performed to correct everything from minor flaws in the smile to severe tooth discoloration, missing teeth, and uneven spacing normally between front teeth. The following is a list of common aesthetic dentistry options at Flax Dental:
Teeth Whitening - there are two methods for whitening teeth: laser teeth whitening (performed at our office) and at-home teeth bleaching (involving the use of take-home bleaching kits).
Porcelain Veneers – Dr. Flax is an specialist in ceramic shells. They are applied to the front of the teeth to conceal cracks and chips, overlay gaps, and create a whiter appearance to a person’s smile.
Dental Implants – these are artificial roots that are embedded in the jaw and are each topped with a prosthetic tooth. Dr. Flax might use dental implants are a restorative and cosmetic dentistry solution for missing teeth.
Dental Bonding – is the application of tooth-colored composite to the teeth. Dr. Flax uses the bonding material to provide you with a stunning end product. Dental bonding can be polished and shaped to look like your original teeth.
Tooth-Colored Fillings – a composite resin material matched to the natural shade of your teeth. Tooth-colored "white" fillings are an attractive alternative to silver amalgam fillings. Dr. Flax uses the most up to date material on all office procedures.
Porcelain Inlays/Onlays – Dr. Flax uses these durable and attractive restorations to repair cracked or otherwise damaged teeth. Inlays and onlays require less tooth reduction than fillings or crowns.
Dental Crowns – it is a cap used to repair badly decayed or damaged teeth. Dr. Flax works with the best dental labs to create the best match for your teeth. Dental crowns are created from a mold of the original tooth, and then applied after the decay is removed and the tooth is prepared.
Dental Bridges – it is a sturdy structure composed of two crowns and a prosthetic tooth. Dr. Flax uses dental bridges to "bridge" the gaps where teeth are missing.
Invisalign® - it is a cosmetic dentistry solution for unevenly spaced, overlapping, or gapped teeth. Invisalign® is a popular teeth-straightening solution for adults who want to avoid orthodontic braces.
