The Ultimate in Cosmetic Dentistry

Matching one restoration - crown or veneer to natural enamel when the tooth being restored or replaced is right at the front of the mouth. You will need to look very closely to tell the tooth with porcelain from the others. From a distance of 12 inches or more, the restored tooth and other natural teeth are indistinguishable

When there is decay or traumatic damage to only one tooth, we will always try to be as conservative as possible.

When this is not entirely feasible, the adjacent teeth - one or more may have to be restored as well in order to obtain the finest shade and shape match.

When patients have several teeth with decay, fractures, color or alignment problems, then of course we will will have to restore the entire group.

Premium Partial and Full Dentures

Dentures can be economical, ordinary or temporary but they can also be part of a "Complete Make-Over"

Not all removable appliances are created equal nor should they be called "plates".

On the contrary, removable partial or full dentures can be part of a complete "make-over". Any denture, even the most economical and temporary variety will provide a better look than multiple missing teeth or rampant decay and infected gums.

While temporary, first dentures placed immediately after extractions are certainly an improvement over the previously poor teeth and gum conditions, they are only average compared to what can be created when a second, customized appliance is made. Once the gum and bone tissues have adequately healed, new impressions are made which assure a better fit to the current conditions. When the second denture is made there are several benefits that were not feasible when the initial denture was made:
1. Impressions made with the "guess work" removed on how the fit will be after tooth extractions
2. Second denture can be made without rush and tried in before finish
3. Time is allowed for treatment of other remaining teeth and problems within the same arch as well as the opposing arch.
4. Some changes in the bite (occlusion) are possible (and highly desired for optimum stability) when the mouth is now considered as a whole and modifications are planned
5. Some changes in shade and size and arrangement of the teeth are possible
