Questions and Answers
With all the options and different dental procedures available today, we decided to answer some of the most common questions to put you at ease before scheduling your appointment.
Tooth Crowns
Crowns are an alternative way to achieve a desired smile or to strengthen otherwise compromised teeth. Patients who are candidates for crowns generally have a large amount of decay, large fillings, or fractures due to stresses on these teeth. Teeth which are compromised in this way are weak and susceptible to fractures or breaking.
Tooth Colored Fillings
For teeth that have larger filling areas and/or cracks a material called an Inlay/Onlay may be suggested. Inlay/Onlays are lab made compressed porcelain materials used to fill in the area of the cavity/crack. Inlays/Onlays are very strong and exhibit excellent cosmetic and support characteristics. A process called bonding is required to adapt the Inlay/Onlay to the tooth structure and secure a proper fit. These dental fillings…
Invisible Braces
Invisalign braces is a relatively new convenient, and nearly invisible way to straighten teeth without use of metal bands/brackets/wires!! By using a series of clear removable aligners to move the teeth in proper alignment, Invisalign is able to achieve straightened teeth. These clear aligners are made from impression taken from the mouth, and scanned into a computer. Dr. Zamani and Invisalign Corporation use their expertise to show a 3-D computer image of what the final outcome would look like, even before the patient gets started. From the 3-D image, those clear aligners are made and the patient can get started.
Cosmetic Dentures
Patients that have too many teeth missing may be candidates for Partial dentures. Partial dentures are now available in two forms. First is the most common type of prosthesis, which uses a metal substructure that attaches to the remaining teeth in the mouth for support. Bonded to the metal substructure are acrylic teeth which replace all the missing teeth in the area. Partials dentures are removable and it becomes necessary for patients to remove them from the mouth after meals to clean them. The second is dentures…
Cosmetic vs. General Dentistry
A cosmetic dentist has the same basic training that a general dentist receives, but with some additional education having occurred as well. If you visit a cosmetic dentist for teeth whitening, your teeth must first be cleaned in order for the procedure to work well. If you have a severely decayed tooth that needs repair and you go to a cosmetic dentist to obtain an aesthetically appealing solution, the dentist will take x-rays prior to the chosen procedure.
Contouring and Reshaping
Tooth reshaping and contouring, is a procedure to correct crooked teeth, chipped or irregularly shaped teeth or even overlapping teeth in a single session. Tooth reshaping and contouring, is commonly used to alter the length, shape or position of your teeth. Contouring teeth may also help correct small problems with bite. It is common for bonding to be combined with tooth reshaping.
