What is Aesthetic Dentistry?
Aesthetic dentistry is artistry for your smile. At Dental Excellence of Napoleon, aesthetic dentistry includes a variety of procedures, from simple treatments, such as one-hour smile whitening to more comprehensive treatments, including complete smile makeovers that can be completed in two to three visits.
Smile Whitening
Dental Excellence of Napoleon offers two methods of smile whitening: BriteSmile in-office whitening and take-home kits.
Perfect for those with busy schedules, BriteSmile is an accelerated laser whitening system that brightens smiles in only 1 hour.
Take-home kits
For those who prefer to whiten at their leisure, take-home kits are ideal. Kits include custom-made trays and whitening gel. Patients simply fill the trays with the gel, and wear them for several hours for one to two weeks. The result is a dazzling white smile.
Smile Makeovers/Instant Orthodontics
A smile makeover is the enhancement of your smile. There are many procedures available to resolve a variety of problems. What can be done?
- Crooked teeth can be straightened with the application of porcelain veneers
- Chipped, worn or broken teeth can be repaired and restored to their natural size, color and shape
- A missing tooth or teeth can be replaced
- “Gummy” smiles can be contoured to reveal a more attractive gum line
- Stained, discolored teeth can be whitened
- Bites can be repositioned to eliminate pain
- Unattractive metal fillings can be replaced with attractive, healthier restorations
Best of all? Even the most comprehensive smile makeover can be completed in as few as 2 to 3 comfortable visits.
Mercury-Free Inlays and Onlays
Years ago, mercury-silver fillings were used to fill cavities and restore teeth.
Well, times have changed. Unfortunately, some dentists have not. If you still have mercury- silver dentistry in your mouth, your teeth may be at risk.
When placed in the tooth, mercury-silver fillings react with the delicate tooth structure, corroding the tooth wall. This corrosion eventually weakens the tooth wall, causing it to break or chip. It also allows harmful bacteria to get in under the filling, causing further decay.
At Dental Excellence of Napoleon, we practice mercury-free dentistry. We only restore teeth with porcelain inlays, onlays or porcelain crowns. Porcelain inlays and onlays replace metal with safe, strong, attractive restorations that require less drilling, allowing more of the natural tooth structure to be retained.
