From Barely Noticeable To Breathtakingly Bold!
It seems that “looking good” has never been more in style than today! Personal fitness and healthy lifestyles have become a way of life for many Americans. Beautiful, healthy smiles are everywhere we turn!
Not everyone was blessed with such a smile naturally, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have one! Adults of all ages can benefit from a wide range of smile-enhancing options available today.
Modern dental techniques mean you no longer have to settle for stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth. In fact, there is almost no dental condition that cannot be improved with safe and effective dental treatment.
What are YOU waiting for? A bright new smile could be only a few dental visits away. Why not schedule an appointment to speak with Dr. Dettmer about the choices available to enhance your smile?
Simple Enhancements
Enamel Shaping: The appearance of teeth that are slightly crowded or uneven can be quickly improved by enamel reshaping. This procedure is generally done in one visit and does not require anesthesia. The teeth are carefully reshaped by removing or recontouring the enamel to achieve a more pleasant appearance. While enamel recontouring cannot solve all cosmetic problems, dramatic results are often attainable.
Tooth Whitening: Today tooth whitening is an “everyday” procedure. It is a safe and economical way to have whiter teeth in a short period of time. Most teeth can be whitened, however, there are some conditions that do not lend themselves to this process. Dr. Dettmer can determine if you would likely benefit from tooth whitening.
Other Choices
Bonding: Bonding is a cosmetic procedure that adds tooth colored materials to your own teeth. Bonding can reshape malformed teeth, close spaces between teeth and mask defects in the tooth enamel to create a more pleasant smile. Bonding can often be performed in one visit with little no drilling and often without anesthesia.
Minor Tooth Movement: Often teeth must be moved slightly to achieve an ideal result. This can sometimes be done without metallic “braces” or years of treatment. Minor tooth movement, used in conjunction with bonding can often eliminate the need for complete orthodontic treatment. Dr. Dettmer can help you decide if this option is right for you.
Veneers: “Capping” teeth is often no longer necessary in order to achieve a sparkling smile. Today veneers offer a conservative alternative to full tooth coverage. Veneers are an irreversible procedure and do require tooth preparation and anesthetic, however, they result in an extremely natural and vibrant appearing tooth. Ask Dr. Dettmer if veneers would be the right choice for you.
Tooth Replacement: It is sometimes necessary to replace teeth that are simply unrestorable or unmanageable in order to achieve an ideal outcome. Today we have many excellent options for replacing missing teeth. Fixed bridgework and implant-supported replacements remain most favored by patients and dentists alike as they function, feel, and look most like “real teeth”. Would you like to replace a removable bridge with one that that is attached to your remaining teeth and bone? Ask Dr. Dettmer what options are available for you.
Expecting to lose teeth as we age has been proven to be a myth! With the recent advances in modern dental treatment we are also proving that you can have bright and beautiful teeth throughout your life!
Why not call Dr. Dettmer today to schedule a check-up and to discuss revitalizing your smile!
