Examples of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
The following are examples of cosmetic dental procedures offered by Dr. Krampe and his team:
Teeth Whitening
The Colgate Optic White Professional Whitening System offers in-office and at-home whitening options using professional-grade whitening serums in different strengths. The system features a professional LED whitening device with breakthrough ionic technology that activates the bleaching gel when it comes in contact with your teeth. The hydrogen peroxide in the patented gel turns into active oxygen, breaking down unsightly tooth stains, and leaving you with a noticeably whiter, brighter smile!
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells that we bond to the front surfaces of teeth. They are made of a very strong material that is virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Porcelain veneers can be used to mask tooth flaws and imperfections, including chipped, stained, worn, misshapen, or misaligned teeth. They also close small gaps or uneven spaces between teeth. Your new veneers will fortify your tooth structure, providing strength comparable to natural tooth enamel.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is a quick and affordable way to mask tooth flaws and imperfections. The minimally invasive procedure involves using a tooth-colored composite resin material to improve the appearance of your teeth, all in a single appointment. Cosmetic bonding is often used to repair tooth chips, cracks, or gaps or improve the color of your teeth. The conservative treatment delivers beautifully natural-looking results that can last for several years!
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as white fillings, are made from a composite resin material that matches the color of your natural tooth enamel. In their earlier versions, they were only suitable for repairing small to mid-sized cavities in the front teeth. The modern composite resin material has since advanced significantly, with today's white fillings stronger and more durable than ever. Tooth-colored fillings are now suitable for repairing any decayed teeth, even the molars exposed to significant chewing pressure.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are restorations used to cover the visible portions of damaged or decayed teeth. They are made of various materials, including zirconia, porcelain, e-max, or porcelain fused to metal. Dental crowns can be used to repair chipped, cracked, worn, broken, or otherwise damaged teeth. They are also used to improve the appearance of teeth, strengthen weak teeth, or restore missing teeth by covering dental implants or supporting bridges. Crowns are often recommended instead of veneers in patients with certain types of malocclusion or poorly aligned teeth or bites. Your new restoration will enhance your smile and your oral health.
Implant Restorations
Dental implants offer a superior solution for missing teeth. The process involves placing titanium screw-shaped posts in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. As the area heals, the implants integrate with the bone, providing a stable foundation for one or more replacement teeth custom crafted to match your smile. Dr. Krampe and his team at Shoreline Smiles work closely with your periodontist or oral surgeon during the implant process. We complete the procedure by placing implant restorations that look and function like your natural teeth.
Dentures and Partials
Dentures and partials are removable restorations used to replace some or all your teeth. They offer many benefits, including improving your ability to bite and chew, helping you speak more clearly, and enhancing the appearance of your smile. Today's complete and partial dentures are nothing like those of the past. They are much lighter, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever before. Dentures and partials offer a cost-effective solution to restore your smile and enhance your overall quality of life.
