Feel More Confident in Your Smile
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers, also called porcelain laminates, are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front surface of teeth to make a cosmetic improvement in their appearance. Porcelain veneers will convert discolored, chipped, misaligned teeth into a cosmetically pleasing appearance.
The decision on whether or not porcelain veneers are a good choice is only possible after a thorough cosmetic evaluation and examination by a dentist. In general, veneers can be used to enhance the smile when:
- Teeth are crooked or badly stained
- For covering old discolored fillings
- Minor orthodontic improvements to straighten appearance of the teeth.
- Teeth which have darkened due to root canal treatment or trauma.
- For closing unsightly gaps in the front teeth of the mouth.
Porcelain veneers will last for a long time provided routine care is taken to maintain good oral health, say up to 10 years or more. Porcelain Veneers may need replacement if they are damaged or chipped or indicate loss of bonding with the underlying tooth structure. The following are a few suggestions to maximize the life of veneers:
- Practice good oral home care. Decay in the underlying tooth structure may result if regular oral hygiene is not maintained.
- Avoid grinding or clenching your teeth (“Bruxism”) since these actions put tremendous forces on the teeth and can break or move the veneer.
- Avoid biting on hard things, such as bottle caps, fingernails, ice cubes etc.
Bonding
Dental Bonding is a procedure which requires a tooth colored resin material to be applied and then hardened with a special light. Bonding is a procedure used in cases when a cavity is cleaned and then a special plastic material is placed which bonds the tooth off from further decay.
At Cypress Creek; Dental Bonding is used for a number of purposes ranging from chipped or cracked tooth, discolouration in teeth, for cosmetic dentistry in receding gums situation and as presentable amalgam fittings. Dental Bonding is an essential procedure carried out by experts at Cypress Creek Dental both for cosmetic and regular dental practices.
Dental Implants
The dental implant is a cylindrical and/or tapered post made of titanium placed surgically into the jawbone. As you heal, your implant will fuse with, your natural jawbone, with the two growing together to form a strong and long-lasting foundation for your replacement teeth.
Once the implant bonds with the jawbone, a small connector called an abutment is placed on top of the dental implant to connect the implant to the replacement tooth or teeth.
An individual tooth, an implant-supported bridge or dentures containing multiple teeth are then attached to the abutment to replace a single missing tooth or multiple teeth.
Advantages of Dental Implants:
Next best thing to healthy, natural teeth
Strong and stable, a dental implant restores a lost tooth so that it looks, feels, fits and functions like a natural tooth. Other options can lead to bone deterioration, and may interfere with eating, smiling, speaking and other activities of everyday life.
Built to last. Dental implants are a long-term solution.
Traditional tooth supported dental bridges only last five to seven years, and with proper care often more than 10 years, but at some point they may need to be replaced. While dental implants may need periodic adjustments, they can last a lifetime when properly placed and cared for over time.
Enjoy life without worrying about your teeth!
No need to stay home or feel uncomfortable in public, embarrassed because your smile looks different, or worrying that missing teeth will limit your ability to join in the fun or that removable dentures or tooth supported replacement teeth will loosen or fall out when you talk, eat or laugh. Teeth restored with dental implants are teeth that let you, not your teeth, lead your life
Retain your natural face shape, and smile
A face without teeth can sag and appear sunken and sad. Dental implants allow you to maintain the natural shape of your face and smile. Speak easy. Adjusting to removable dentures can mean struggling to pronounce everyday words. Not so with dental implants, which function like natural teeth.
Eat your favorite foods!
Taste and enjoy the foods you love without hesitation. You can bite naturally, eat virtually anything you want and, unlike removable dentures that can feel uncomfortable, you can experience the full taste of the food you eat with dental implants, too.
