Cosmetic dentistry

Veneer:

Dental veneer is a fast, effective way to deal with many small dental defect such as small gaps between neighboring teeth, shallow caries in the enamel, small chips, or discoloration that does not respond to teeth whitening.

Dental veneer is a thin covering of porcelain or composite over the enamel of a tooth.

Veneers are common for teeth that are too small, too big, or have uneven surfaces. It is very useful for people to have cosmetic improvements (i.e.: shade, shape, lip support, cheek support, etc.).

Veneers are recommended for imperfect teeth, either oddly shaped teeth, some malpositioned teeth, chipped teeth, crooked teeth, teeth with small holes in them, or an inappropriate sized tooth. Veneers solve such irregularities and create a durable and pleasing smile.

We use Empress Type of all-ceramic veneer which is long lasting and has high aesthetic value. It is also hardly distinguishable from natural dentition. Also you can select the desired level of teeth color as you wish.

BriteSmile Tooth Whitening:

BriteSmile is the best way to safely whiten your teeth with the most advanced technology available in tooth whitening today.

BriteSmile has revolutionized tooth whitening with the state-of-the-art technology that is safe and effective.

BriteSmile is gentle. There's no laser, no heat, and no scraping. Our whitening system uses only two simple elements: gel and light.

The patented BriteSmile light is not a laser. It's a specially designed lamp that shines a gentle, blue light on your teeth. It works in tandem with our proprietary whitening gel to accelerate the whitening process. This light has been clinically proven safe for tooth enamel as well as skin, gums, and other soft tissues. It emits virtually no heat and no harmful UV (ultraviolet) light. Our lamps are uniquely shaped to illuminate and whiten all "smile line" teeth (top and bottom) at the same time, ensuring natural and uniform results.

The BriteSmile light is used in combination with our patented whitening gel, which has been optimized for patient safety and maximum results. While other whitening gels contain as much as 35%-50% hydrogen peroxide,

BriteSmile's proprietary gel contains only 15% peroxide and is buffered at a near-neutral pH value that is compatible with tooth enamel. The gel also contains other ingredients such as glycerin and highly purified water to prevent tooth dehydration and to further ensure safety. The gel is specifically engineered to respond to the blue wavelengths of our light system. When the light illuminates the gel, it activates and safely accelerates the whitening process, achieving amazing results in just one hour.

The BriteSmile tooth-whitening system is protected by numerous patents and therefore only available at BriteSmile whitening spas and the dental offices of trained BriteSmile professionals.

Tooth Straightening (Braces):

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of problems in the alignment of teeth and jaws.

The technical term for these problems is malocclusion, which means bad bite.

Common problems include teeth crowding, protruding of upper teeth, spacing, open bite, deep overbite, cross bit and lower jaw protrusion.

These problems can be solved by the use of corrective appliances such as braces, plates, headgears, functional appliances and retaining appliances.

Crown lengthening:


Crown lengthening is a procedure for improvement of “gummy smile”. Your teeth may not be too short as its appearance but they are covered with too much gum tissue. In order to uncover more natural tooth, excess gum and excess bone tissue is lift. This can be performed to a tooth, to your gum line, or to several teeth. Of course, crown lengthening creates your beautiful smile.

Crown lengthening is sometimes recommended for a patient whose tooth is decayed, broken the gum line or whose tooth has insufficient structure for restoration (crown or bridge). It adjusts gum and bone level before getting bridge / crown done properly.

Crown lengthening brings you a nice smile.
