Porcelain veneers are the most conservative esthetic restorations available in dentistry today. A thin layer of the front of the tooth is removed to allow a veneer of porcelain to be bonded to the tooth without making it any thicker. Similar, in a way, to a false fingernail, the veneer covers dark or yellow teeth, fills unsightly gaps, lengthens short or stubby teeth, straightens crooked teeth, and in general creates a more attractive smile. Unlike a false fingernail, veneers are more permanent. The veneers are attached to the teeth using the most advanced methods of bonding principles.
The benefits of a beautiful smile involve not only the body but also the spirit. Your smile is an important interaction, a form of communication that plays a vital role in our everyday life. Confidence and articulation are achieved through a Smile Makeover. You may not have been born with the smile you deserve, but it can be attained through the skill and experience of Dr. Hodgins. Those who value and take pride in their appearance, from all walks of life, have felt the difference a new smile has made in their lives.
Modern dental technology can reshape uneven teeth and veneer them with high-tech ceramic. The result will give the appearance and function of a symmetrical smile. The effectiveness of this approach can depend on how crooked and crowded the teeth are to begin with. What we can do is absolutely amazing. For many adults this option is better than traditional orthodontics, and treatments can be complete in as little as two visits.
Full Mouth rehabilitation involves restoring the teeth, bite, and muscles back to a natural looking and youthful feeling condition, thereby improving self esteem.
Using computerized technology and an artistic eye, full mouth restoration may be the answer to many problems, such as heat-sensitive teeth, sore jaw muscles, and recurring headaches.
Crowns are a type of dental restoration which, when cemented into place, fully cup over the portion of a tooth which lies at and above the gum line. Crowns encase the entire visible aspect of a tooth. A dental crown in effect becomes the tooth's new outer surface.
"TMJ" stands for temporomandibular joint, or the jaw joint. The TMJ's are the small joints in front of each ear that attach the lower jaw to the skull. They allow you to perform such functions as opening and closing your mouth, chewing, speaking, and swallowing. TMJ conditions are manifested by pain in the muscles along with limitations in the ability to make the normal movements if you suffer from such pain neuromuscular dentistry can help!
