Veneers:

Dental veneers are placed over the front teeth to allow changes of color and shape to the teeth. A great smile can be ruined by teeth that are too small, too big, or have craters or bulges. Veneers can fix this problem.

Benefits of Veneers:

• Only a small amount of tooth is touched by the dentist
• Flexibility in color of porcelain to make dark teeth "White"
• Veneers do not change color and are very strong
• Exceptionally strong and durable adhesive

Smile Changes:

Many people have one or more teeth with defects, which ruin an otherwise attractive smile. Other people have one short tooth, or one too long, which again ruins a pleasing smile. A perfect smile can be assured with Porcelain Veneers. We find that people from all walks of life can benefit from the improved confidence of a better smile.

Broken Teeth:

A lot of people of all ages damage teeth, either in home accidents, pool or sporting accidents, which can create a real problem with the front teeth. This damage can be easily repaired with Porcelain Veneers. A tooth repaired this way can, with very little trouble, be made to look like new again. Although veneers were only "discovered" about 15 years ago, it has been found that they are a very reliable solution to dental problems and should last for many, many years.

Childhood Years:

During early childhood, developing teeth are very susceptible to damage from childhood viral diseases, fevers, chemical exposure and antibiotic use. Teeth affected by this may be misshapen, stained or brittle. Either one or all teeth may show some effects from any of these processes. In addition, damage to the baby teeth through accidents, may affect the second or permanent teeth which are developing underneath. Exposure to excessive amounts of fluoride can also lead to unsightly stains and enamel weakening. Many of these injuries cause embarrassment, especially to children at school. In these formative years, some people develop a self conscious smile, afraid to show their teeth. Porcelain Veneers have for many such people given a boost to their confidence and self esteem. Cosmetic dental services for developing personalities has proven to be one of the most rewarding endeavors.  

Tooth Whitening is actually a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin. The system uses a mild solution retained in a custom-fitted tray that is worn over your teeth while you sleep or during the day.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

There are many causes. The most common include aging, consumption of staining substances (coffee, tea, colas, tobacco), trauma, tetracycline (antibiotic) staining, excessive fluoride, nerve degeneration, and old restorations.

Who May Benefit From Tooth Whitening?

Almost everyone. However, there are some cases where the treatment may not be effective. A dentist may determine viable candidates for the process through oral examination and diagnosis. The tooth-lightening system is ideal for patients who have healthy, un-restored teeth and would like to have a whiter, brighter smile.

Is it Safe?

Research indicates that whitening teeth with carbamide peroxide under the supervision of a dentist is safe for teeth and gums.

How Does it Work?

The 'Nite White' gel is placed in a thin bleaching tray that fits over your teeth. As the active ingredient in the gel, carbamide peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin and bleaches the colored substances. The structure of the tooth is not changed; only the tooth color is made lighter.

How Long Does it Take?

Results are usually seen in the first night. Maximum results generally occur when the process is continued for 10 to 14 nights.

Are There Any Side Affects?

Some people experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold during the treatment. These symptoms always disappear within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment. Patients experiencing tooth sensitivity should use Nite White® EXCEL and inquire about using Nite White® nsf

How long do Results Last?

The teeth will always be lighter than they were. However, some patients may need periodic re-whitening for one or two nights every six to twelve months.

Note of Assurance:

Millions of people have whitened their teeth using Nite White®. In addition, the solution that is employed has been safely used for many years in the treatment of gums and other oral soft tissue.

The whitening process is most effective on mildly discolored teeth. Darker stains, such as those caused by antibiotics, take longer to respond to treatment. the degree of whiteness will vary from patient to patient, depending on the structure of the teeth and the duration of time that the system is used.
