A beautiful smile is more affordable than you think!

Results of a single whitening session vary from one person to another due to initial color, degree of staining or discoloration, enamel quality and previous dental work.
No matter what is said, expectations should always remain realistic, not everybody is lucky to have teeth that become that white, and after all, not all that you see on TV is real.
Sparkling bright colors could be obtained after several whitening appointments or with different dental treatments.

A porcelain veneer is essentially a conservative crown. It covers part or all the biting surface, as well as the visible part of the tooth.
The porcelain is an extremely durable material with a color, translucence and texture that is similar to tooth enamel. It is not susceptible to decay and resists staining while maintaining a natural appearance.
Veneers can effectively:

• whiten teeth,
• close diastemas (gaps between the teeth),
• lengthen and reshape teeth,
• repair chipped, broken, or misshapen teeth,
• cover stains and discolorations,

to provide desired smile and occlusion (bite).

Orthodontic treatments without metallic wires or braces, using a series of invisible and removable aligners are now available.
INVISALIGN® can help you get the great smile you have always wanted because it’s:

• Invisible, so no one can tell you’re straightening your teeth.
• Removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment.
• Brushing and Flossing , as easy as always.

If time is a real issue and a several month INVISALIGN® orthodontic treatment would be too long for you, then an alternative solution is available.
Imagine that in less than a month, in just a few office visits you could have a custom made smile, straight and in optimal occlusion, designed to fit the proportions of your face.
The combination of porcelain veneers, crowns and bridges in an artistic and functional fashion can provide what has been referred to as Instant Orthodontics.

I have to admit that there are situations where extractions are necessary, but...
When there is not enough space on an arch for all the teeth, the easiest solution (teeth extraction) it is not always the smartest. If tooth extraction becomes an option in the planning of an orthodontic treatment, there are several functional and aesthetic elements to take in consideration, such as:

• Is there enough tongue space left once the teeth have been moved in their final position?
• Can the space created with the extraction be filled without compromising the lingual inclination of the teeth?
• Has the lips support been compromised? We would not want to crush in you face and make you look older than you are.
• Has the vertical dimension of the Occlusion and implicitly the Temporo-mandibular Joint been affected? How?

If these elements have been taken in consideration on top of all fundamentals of diagnosis and treatment in orthodontics, the teeth extraction should not worry you.

Our office has had numerous patients who have had all necessary teeth prepared in a single day. However this may not be the best treatment for you.
In addition to having a beautiful smile, it must function properly. The jaw joint, the ability to speak without a "whistle", and chewing food without your teeth clunking together cannot be compromised. If your functional needs are not met you will regret having had any work done on your mouth.
When the functional and cosmetic needs are met the results are spectacular for the patients. This also results in the fastest treatment time because the dental work does not need to be redone.

One of the most common symptoms of Temporo-Mandibular Joint (T.M.J.) is the tension headache. Many people who suffer from this type of headache describe it as a ring of pain around the head or like wearing a hat two sizes too small. Others will refer to it as a migraine headache.
T.M.J. related headaches are caused by a complex mechanism; essentially, there is a constant contraction of the muscles in the jaw, this creates a tension or pressure in the face, head and neck. When someone is clenching and /or grinding their teeth, which are T.M.D. symptoms, they are creating a constant contraction of the muscles, which results in pain.
To conclude, by using neuromuscular dentistry techniques, we are able to rebuild the bite into a relaxed, comfortable position and decrease the muscular tension to an optimal level and most of the times the headaches or the migraines disappear.

Cosmetic dentistry is no longer the preserve of models and film stars. With new minimally invasive techniques and painless treatments, cosmetic dentistry is now readily accessible for almost anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their teeth.

This depends on how radical the changes are, but usually people who know you well will notice the improvement to your smile. Others will notice how good you now look, but often find it hard to tell why. And those who have never met you before will just think you have a Great Smile!

Porcelain veneers and crowns don't stain and are designed to take as much wear as your natural teeth. But you should never use your teeth as tools - such as cracking nuts or opening bottles. Clients should follow a normal oral hygiene routine and visit the dentist for regular checkup and cleaning appointments, as we all should do, to maximise longevity of their own teeth and any new restorations alike.
