Preventative care is the cornerstone of maintaining a healthy smile. At Smile Again Dental, we believe that informed and consistent preventative care is key to diagnosing and addressing gum disease, tooth decay, and other aspects of your overall oral health. Regular checkups allow our team to catch potential issues early, ensuring your smile stays healthy and vibrant.
Tooth-Colored Dental Restoration
For patients needing restorative work, we use advanced materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Similar to those used in porcelain veneers, crowns, and bridges, these materials are now available for common treatments like cavity fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are made to match the texture and color of your teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding enamel.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. Made from porcelain or similar materials, veneers are a safe and relatively simple solution for correcting stained, chipped, cracked, misaligned, or discolored teeth. They can also enhance the length, width, color, and shape of your teeth, transforming your smile in as little as two appointments.
Crowns
For teeth that have been severely weakened by decay or trauma, crowns offer a robust solution. Crowns, which cap the entire tooth, provide strength and protection while restoring the tooth's function and appearance. Made from porcelain or other tooth-colored materials, today’s crowns are as aesthetically pleasing as they are functional.
Bridges
Missing teeth can lead to shifting of the remaining teeth, which can cause bite issues and make cleaning more difficult, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. A non-removable bridge can restore the function and appearance of your teeth by filling in the gaps. Bridges not only keep surrounding teeth in their correct position but also help maintain the structure of your face and jaw.
Dental Implants
For those with missing teeth, dental implants are a top-tier solution. Implants function like natural teeth, providing a durable and long-lasting replacement. After being placed into the jawbone, the implant integrates with the tissue, and a custom-designed artificial tooth is attached. The result is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural one.
Endodontics (Root Canal Therapy)
Root canal therapy is a treatment designed to save a tooth that has been severely infected or damaged. It involves removing the infected nerve and pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection. To strengthen the treated tooth, we often recommend fitting it with a crown, which enhances the tooth’s longevity.
Dentures and Partials
Dentures and partials are removable options for replacing missing teeth. Whether you need a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch replaced, we can create a solution tailored to your needs. If you’re experiencing issues with the fit of your current dentures, we can adjust them to improve comfort and stability. Dental implants can also be used to secure dentures, enhancing their fit and function.
Implant-Supported/Retained Dentures
For patients seeking improved denture stability, implants offer a reliable solution. Implant-supported dentures stay securely in place, allowing for more natural function and comfort.
Orthodontic treatment is tailored to your specific needs, and at Smile Again Dental, we offer a variety of options to help you achieve the smile you desire.
Metal Brackets
Metal braces are the traditional option and remain a popular choice due to their strength and effectiveness. They are ideal for treating even the most severe cases and typically offer the shortest treatment time. While metal braces may cause some initial irritation to the cheeks and gums, most patients adjust quickly.
Ceramic Brackets
Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces but feature tooth-colored brackets that blend more naturally with your teeth. These are a great option for adults seeking a less noticeable treatment. Although they can be more expensive and may require a longer treatment time, ceramic braces provide a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to metal braces.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
Clear aligners offer a discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth without the need for brackets or wires. Made from clear plastic, these trays are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Clear aligners are best suited for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic issues. However, they may not be appropriate for all cases, and some patients might require additional treatments.
Zoom teeth whitening is one of the most effective whitening treatments available today. Using a special light and whitening gel, the Zoom system can lighten your teeth by six to ten shades in just one office visit. The process involves applying the Zoom Whitening Gel to your teeth and activating it with the Zoom Whitening Lamp, which penetrates the teeth to lift out stains, leaving you with a brighter, more radiant smile.
