The state of our smiles can greatly affect our self-esteem. When we notice that our teeth have cosmetic issues, these problems can cause us to feel shy or anxious, affecting the quality of life overall. Dental care addresses most, if not all, of these concerns to renew confidence.
If you have dental features that you wish to have corrected, contact Dr. Parvaneh Sajjadi, a skilled cosmetic dentist. She offers the following solutions that make the smile bright and beautiful once again:
Zoom!® Teeth Whitening: This rapid and convenient treatment lifts stains to reveal a smile’s natural brilliance. Patients generally receive professional whitening two ways - in-office with Dr. Sajjadi or through the use of take-home kits and custom-fit trays. The latter option gives patients full control, allowing frequent touch-ups if stains resurface. In either case, patients are given information about the whitening process.
Veneers: Teeth whitening and composite bonding have their limits; they cannot address aesthetic issues that are internal in nature or affect the shape of a tooth. Veneers are layered porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of teeth, covering up the cosmetic defects that can affect self-esteem.
Crowns and Bridges: When decay has diminished dental structure extensively or has reached the inner pulp chamber, a crown restores the affected tooth to full health and function. Once the sites of infection have been addressed, this porcelain cap is fitted over the treated surface to make a tooth complete again.
Bridges fill the spaces left by one or more absent teeth, using the remaining, healthy neighbors for support. With crowns applied to the support teeth, the porcelain pontics serve as replacements and fill the gaps.
Dental Implants: If teeth are lost, or if previous restorations begin to fail, dental implants represent a comprehensive option to renew appearance and function. Anchored by titanium posts placed directly in the jaw tissue, restorations with implant support will last for many years with proper care.
