Contributed by DentalROI
Dental veneers, also known as porcelain veneers, are extremely thin, custom-designed and fitted prosthetic devices that are made to cover the surface of the teeth in order to improve the way the natural teeth look. They’re made from resin composite materials or porcelain and they’re bonded to the front of the patient’s teeth to change the size, shape, color, or even the length of the teeth. At Washington State Prosthodontics and Dental Implant Center, we regularly use dental veneers to fix a variety of cosmetic dental issues.
Dentists vary in terms of their proficiency with using advanced technologies, so finding a dentist who knows how to use cutting edge tools is important! Advanced technologies in dentistry can make the difference between discovering dental issues early and a procedure that goes smoothly or one that ends up causing additional problems. But how do the latest technologies in dentistry really affect patients? Below is a discussion of some of the most important benefits that patients enjoy when they go to a dentist who’s well-versed in dental technologies.
All-on-4 implants are a teeth replacement option that supersedes the need for traditional dentures. This same-day teeth replacement treatment is superior to traditional dentures because it alleviates problems associated with chewing and speaking. While traditional dentures can be uncomfortable, inconvenient, and poorly fitted, All-on-4 implants are a state-of-the-art technology that offer attractive final results that are customized to fit securely in your mouth.
Do you have stained or discolored teeth? Have you been unsatisfied with the results of doing at-home teeth whitening kits? At Washington State Prosthodontics and Dental Implant Center, we have a lot of patients who come to us for a whiter smile because nothing beats the results of professional teeth whitening. We offer patients treatment options that produce striking, long-lasting outcomes.
Oral prosthetics like dentures are an important investment in your health and well-being. Dentures imitate the form and function of our natural teeth, allowing us to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. As such, it’s important to carefully maintain your dentures so that they fit comfortably and beautifully for years to come.
Lost teeth can completely change the appearance of your smile. Perhaps even more importantly, lost teeth can also compromise your health. In the case of missing teeth, patients generally have two options: a dental bridge, or a dental implant. While both options will hide the appearance of missing teeth, they’re very different from each other.
