Cosmetic Dentistry
At Dr. Harold's office, our passion is designing beautiful and comfortable smiles. In the process of achieving this we provide excellent restorative, preventative and cosmetic dentistry. Our commitment to these goals provides to you unparalleled service with a high standard of dental care in a comfortable pampering environment. Let us help you explore the possibilities that are open to you.
Porcelain Veneers
Mike never smiled. He is a middle-aged man with a fairly debilitated smile. Not the least of his problems was a huge implant on his front tooth. Luckily, when he smiled, which wasn't often, he didn't show up by the gum line. We did eight veneers on Mike, including a veneer that covered the implant. We got a terrific result and Mike is now smiling more that ever. Veneers over implants can be tricky, but if done right can result in a great smile.
Instant Ortho
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 Restoration
Imagine being able to turn the clock back 20, 30, 40 years or more. Full Mouth restoration involves restoring the teeth, bite, muscles and self-esteem back to a natural looking and youthful feeling condition.
You do not have to be dissatisfied with the way your smile looks and feels. You do not have to be uncomfortable when you chew or not be able to eat hot or cold foods. You do not have to awaken in the morning with sore jaw muscles or live with recurring headaches.
Our quality of life is greatly affected by our oral health. The older we get, the more important it becomes.
Using computerized technology and an artistic eye, full mouth restoration may be the answer to many of these problems.
Whitening
Temporary Bleaching is a whitening process that involves placing a bleaching solution in contact with the teeth causing oxidation of stains and subsequent lightening. There are a variety of systems available to whiten teeth. These include tooth whitening done in the dental office or dentist supervised "At Home" systems. Current data and research has shown that "At Home" tray bleaching is one of the most effective modes of bleaching.
Bonding
The application of tooth colored filling material (composite) to the teeth has been a dental technique for many years. Recent advances have increased the strength, durability, and longevity of these restorations. Bonding material can be molded and shaped to achieve outstanding results including tooth lightening, closing spaces between teeth, making teeth appear straighter, and repairing chips and cracks. When polished it gives the appearance of natural tooth structure.
