Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures - Abate Dentistry

<body> Abate Dentistry offers cosmetic dentistry procedures such as veneers, bleaching, crowns, and porcelain fillings for worn, stained, and crooked teeth. <p> <br> Bleaching<br> <br> pre-op post-op<br> <br> <br> Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they've been dreaming of with our simple "bleaching" procedure.<br> </p> <p>What are porcelain veneers?<br> <br> Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility.<br> <br> </p> <p>Fillings<br> <br> We are a mercury-free practice. However, many people still have silver/mercury fillings from years past in their mouths. These fillings are not particularly pleasing to the eye, and we know that by unavoidable design, silver/mercury fillings ultimately result in a weaker tooth structure. Porcelain inlays and composite resins create fillings that are not only beautiful (or invisible) but also add strength to weakened teeth. These restorations are esthetically pleasing and very strong thanks to new bonding technologies.<br> </p> <p>Inlay / Onlay<br> <br> When over 1/2 of the tooths biting surface is damaged a dentist will often use an inlay or onlay.<br> What are inlays and onlays?<br> <br> Inlays and onlays can be made of porcelain, gold, or composite resin. These pieces are bonded to the damaged area of the tooth. An inlay, which is similar to a filling, is used inside the cusp tips of the tooth; an onlay is a more substantial reconstruction, similar to the inlay but extending out over one or more of the cusps of the tooth.</p> <p>Bonding</p> <p>onding can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored or misarranged, and is an alternative to veneers.<br> </p> <p> After Cosmetic Reconstruction<br> <br> Remember that it will take time to adjust to the feel of your new bite. When the bite is altered or the position of the teeth is changed it takes several days for the brain to recognize the new position of your teeth or their thickness as normal. If you continue to detect any high spots or problems with your bite, call our office so we can schedule an adjustment appointment.<br> <br> </p> <p> <a href="pro_venee.html">pro_venee.html</a> <a href="pro_inov.html">pro_inov.html</a> <a href="pro_fill.html">pro_fill.html</a> <a href="pro_bond.html">pro_bond.</a><a href="pro_bond.html">html</a> <a href="pro_blea.html">pro_blea.html</a> <a href="proco_postop.html">proco_postop.html</a> </p> </body>
