Do you have yellow or brown-stained teeth that don't respond to store-bought whitening treatments? One of the most accessible and most affordable ways to improve your smile is professional teeth whitening. We offer a fast in-office power whitening that takes about an hour or customized take-home kits you can use at your own pace. Both will brighten your smile by as much as six shades. The change and improvement to your appearance can be quite dramatic, and many Aston patients love the impact it has on their self-confidence.
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is a conservative, non-invasive option where Dr. Seger uses a tooth-colored composite material to build up portions of a tooth to improve its color, shape, and size and address spacing issues. If you want to change the shape or size of your tooth, dental bonding is the perfect solution.
Dr. Seger often uses cosmetic dental bonding in the following instances:
- Minor chips and cracks
- Yellow or brown staining
- Fill in gaps between teeth
- Fix misshapen teeth or alter the size of teeth
Dental bonding is made from composite resin, which is the same material we use for tooth fillings. Because of its ability to be custom-shaded and molded to the perfect shape, it can make a big difference in your smile. Dental bonding is also more affordable than other cosmetic dental treatments, and it does not require removal or shaving of your tooth structure.
Porcelain Veneers
A porcelain veneer is a shell of dental porcelain, just a couple of millimeters thick, that we bond to the front surface of your teeth. We recommend veneers for patients who have more complex cosmetic concerns or who want a dramatic smile makeover
Since the veneer adheres to the front surface of your tooth, it can cover any minor smile flaws that pertain to the shape, size, alignment, and even color of the tooth. With proper care and regular check-ups with your dentist in Aston, PA, your porcelain veneer can last as long as ten years, which makes it a long-term investment in your appearance and even your oral health.
If you think that porcelain veneers could be an excellent solution to completely changing the look of your smile, please give The Dental Health Center a call at (610) 494-0404.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Straightening crooked teeth with Invisalign clear aligners improves your smile and your oral health. These clear plastic aligners are removable, making daily brushing and flossing less complicated than with traditional metal braces. Because Invisalign aligners do not have brackets or wires that can potentially cut the inside of your mouth or gums, they are more comfortable to wear.
The best part is that they are virtually invisible, so no one has to know that you are getting orthodontic treatment. Many adult patients hesitate to get braces because they (understandably) don't want unsightly metal tracks on their teeth.
We recommend straightening your teeth for oral health issues, even though many patients are most concerned with perfecting the appearance of crooked teeth and misaligned teeth that can be hard to brush and floss properly. If teeth overlap, it makes it easier for food particles to hide in the little nooks and crannies you can’t reach, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Straight teeth are simply more natural to take care of and keep healthy.
If you have been considering changing and improving your quality of life, give The Dental Health Center a call today at (610) 494-0404. Our highly experienced Aston, PA dental staff are always available to answer questions or schedule a dental appointment.
Porcelain Dental Crowns
Most people don’t think of porcelain crowns as a cosmetic solution, but since they fit over your existing tooth like a cap, we often use them to conceal cosmetic problems like severe staining, misshapen teeth, and teeth with wide gaps and spacing issues. Dental crowns strengthen weakened and compromised teeth, but they also look natural and beautiful.
There are many benefits to dental crowns, including:
- Protect a weakened tooth from tooth decay or infection
- Stop enamel erosion from continuing
- Protect a tooth after a root canal
- Prevent further damage to a chipped, cracked, or fractured tooth
- The tooth portion of a dental implant
- Change the shape, alignment, and size of a tooth
- Change the look of a severely discolored tooth
- Protect a cavity that is too large for a filling
- Anchor a dental bridge
Dental crowns are an attractive long-term investment for your smile; the process is pain- and stress-free and takes two dental visits.
