Veneers

Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made porcelain laminates of tooth-colored material designed to cover the front surface of teeth. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size or length and resulting in a greatly improved appearance.

This popular procedure can permanently whiten and perfectly align your teeth. Like LUMINEERS, veneers mimic light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Veneers may also fix spaces between teeth, chipped, broken, crooked teeth, stains, or fillings- all resulting in a great cosmetic smile makeover!

Porcelain Crowns

Salt Lake City Porcelain Crowns Murray UT Dental Crowns

When a tooth is cracked, decayed, or damaged, a dental crown may need to be fitted onto the tooth. A dental crown is a permanent covering that fits over the original tooth. Porcelain crowns have a realistic appearance, realistic feel, and give strength back to the tooth. Dental crowns can whiten, reshape and realign existing teeth, adding to a healthy and vibrant smile. All porcelain crowns look totally natural and brings back a youthful, strong, and long-lasting smile.

Bridges

A dental bridge is a device used to fill the space where there is a missing tooth. A typical dental bridge consists of a pontic (a filler tooth) that is attached to two surrounding crowns (abutments). Once complete, this bridge structure is cemented into the mouth. Without the use of a bridge, spaces in the mouth from missing teeth can cause multiple teeth to shift, lead to malocclusion (bad bite) and/or jaw problems, and may spur periodontal (gum) disease. Dental bridges safeguard the integrity of existing teeth and help maintain a healthy, vibrant smile.

Tooth Colored Fillings

Salt Lake City White Fillings Murray UT Cosmetic Dentists

When a filling is needed, a white filling, or direct resin, is the way to go. A well-done white filling can beautifully enhance one’s smile. There are many advantages to white fillings. They can change the appearance of teeth, strengthen teeth, and more conservatively treat teeth - all things that silver fillings cannot do.

White fillings are bonded to tooth structure - this means that they actually integrate with the tooth, thereby sealing the gap between tooth and filling and adding their strength to the tooth. This allows for the more varied uses of resin beyond just regular fillings - like placing thin layers over front teeth to change their color, shape or general appearance; or repairing small chips or fractures in teeth; or even being placed in the grooves of teeth to prevent decay from ever occurring. Bonded white fillings are an extremely beautiful advance in the creation of fantastic and healthy smiles.

Tooth Whitening

Salt Lake City Teeth Whitening Murray UT Teeth Whitening

Teeth can often be whitened by several new techniques of "bleaching" available today. The most common method used is the "in-office" method where a strong bleaching agent is placed over the isolated teeth and a special light (ZOOM) is used to assist the bleaching material in lightening your teeth. This method is generally more controlled and probably better for people who have tetracycline stains or streaks on their teeth. The "home" techniques involve making trays which fit into the mouth and these are then filled with bleaching materials. When worn for an hour a day, noticeable results are seen generally within a few days to a couple weeks.

Results vary from individual to individual and we will be happy to to help you decide which method works best for you. Some of the factors involved include the intensity of the stains, whether or not you have fillings or crowns on your front teeth as well as what may have caused the stains.
