smile can be the most eye-catching feature of a face. With dentistry's
many advances, you no longer have to settle for stained, chipped, or

confidence.Even
the most subtle change in your smile can make a dramatic difference in
the way you look and feel about yourself. Talk to Dr. Bell about the
options most suitable for you, what your expectations are and the
dental fees involved. Some options are:
- Tooth whitening
( bleaching) brightens teeth that are discolored or stained. Bleaching
may be done completely in the dental office or the dentist may dispense a
system for you to use at home.
- Bonding
can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked,
stained, or have spaces between them. With bonding, tooth-colored
materials are applied, or bonded, to the tooth surface.
- Enamel shaping
involves modifying teeth to improve their appearance by removing or
contouring enamel. The process, which often is combined with bonding,
usually is quick and comfortable and the results can be seen
immediately.
- Veneers
are thin custom-made shells designed to cover the front side of teeth.
Made of tooth-colored materials, veneers are used to treat spaces
between teeth and teeth that are chipped or worn, permanently stained,
poorly shaped or slightly crooked.
- Braces
are not just for kids. Orthodontics may be needed if teeth are crooked,
crowded or do not meet properly. If Dr.
Bell thinks you should see a
specialist for treatment, he or she will refer you to an orthodontist. - Dental Implant Restoration-Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may not be your only
options when replacing missing teeth. For some people, dental implants
offer a smile that looks and feels very natural. Surgically placed below
the gums over a series of appointments, implants fuse to the jawbone
and serve as a base for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a
denture.Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone.
Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement
teeth feel more natural and some people also find the secure fit more
comfortable than conventional substitutes.
- Crowns-If you want a smile that's your crowning glory, you may need a crown
to cover a tooth and restore it to its normal shape and size. A crown
can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance.It can cover and support a tooth with a large filling when
there isn't enough tooth left. It can be used to attach a bridge,
protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that's already broken.
A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly
shaped. It's also used to cover a dental implant.
- Bridges- If you're missing one or more teeth, you may notice a difference in
chewing and speaking. There are options to help restore your smile.Bridges help maintain the shape of your face, as well as alleviating the stress in your bite by replacing missing teeth.Sometimes called a fixed partial denture, a bridge replaces
missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges
the gap where one or more teeth may have been. The restoration can be
made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials
and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.Unlike a removable bridge, which you can take out and clean, a fixed bridge can only be removed by a dentist.An implant bridge attaches artificial teeth directly to the
jaw or under the gum tissue. Depending on which type of bridge your
dentist recommends, its success depends on its foundation. So it's very
important to keep your remaining teeth healthy and strong.
