When to Consider Using Porcelain Veneers

ocdentalcenter — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 11:43:01 +0200

According to the Consumer Guide to Cosmetic Dentistry, a web portal providing consumer-friendly information on dental health, dental veneers are custom-designed shells of tooth-like ceramic material that, when applied over the surface of a tooth, can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing and chips or cracks. Launched in April 2007, Consumer Guide to Dentistry provides reliable, up-to-date information on cosmetic dentistry, dental specialties, procedures, conditions and diseases, oral hygiene, dental advances and how to choose a cosmetic dentist Orange County. The articles are reviewed by a group of leading dental professionals.

Dental veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry Orange County because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Even better, the translucent ceramic quality of today's veneers provides a more natural look than what’s been available in the past. Regardless of what causes unattractive teeth, dental veneers may solve most or even all of your cosmetic dental issues, including:

Worn enamel
Wear and tear
Genetics
Uneven teeth

The two most common materials used in the manufacture of dental veneers are composite resin and porcelain veneers Orange County. Both porcelain veneers and composite veneers can be fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory; composite veneers can also be directly fabricated inside your mouth at the dental office. Of the two options, porcelain veneers are longer lasting and more expensive.

Teeth whitening Orange County may provide a white smile for mildly discolored teeth. Some people who are interested in veneers will find that their cosmetic dentist will steer them to the simpler alternative of whitening, perhaps combined with some simple orthodontic alignment. If you have a severe case of dull or discolored teeth, you may have to opt for dental veneers.

After recent troubles in the economy, many Americans refuse to sacrifice so called “luxury” purchases. Plastic surgery and cosmetic dentistry Orange County are still in high demand, as Americans continue to ask for the Hollywood makeover. Perhaps it is this trend, combined with newer more affordable technology, as well as aging baby boomers, that has the cosmetics industry so busy. The most recent survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry shows cosmetic procedures have increased nationally 12.8% since 2005. Numbers are expected to continue climbing. The most popular procedures are various forms of teeth whitening Orange County, and the pricey, yet trendy porcelain veneers Orange County. At the OC Dental Center, a popular tooth whitening system is the Waterlase treatment. This is a gentle and non-invasive procedure that requires just two visits to the dentist. Porcelain veneers have a much wider range of cosmetic dental restoration. From fixing crooked or misshaped teeth, bonding chipped ones, filling gaps, and restoring brightness of severely discolored teeth, porcelain veneers may be the pricier choice, but they are the best choice for getting that beautiful long-lasting smile you’ve always dreamed of.

The Value of a "Smile Makeover"

ocdentalcenter — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:20:28 +0200

From a consumer perspective, most people may not want to spend a lot of time and money working on several dental imperfections all at one time. Many of us choose to take the "one-tooth-at-a-time" approach to fixing a less than perfect smile. Many dentists like those at OC Dental Center, specializing in Cosmetic Dentistry Orange County, suggest taking a "complete dentistry" approach as it is a much better investment. Poor or delayed dental health often results from the "one-tooth-at-a-time" or "piecemeal" method. These types of patients tend to have many more dental emergencies as well as suffer long-term pain and accelerated tooth failure and other serious dental conditions. Of course there are also psychological effects which can be taken into account on those who suffer from delayed oral health. Embarrassment, low self-esteem, and frustration from tooth pain, an incomplete or imperfect smile, and other problems can affect patients in social situations, like career success.

On the other hand, patients who opt for "complete dentistry" often have life-changing results, an exceptional confidence boost, and become less likely to suffer from long-term or serious health conditions like periodontal disease, tooth decay, gum disease, loss of teeth and oral pain. Orange County cosmetic dentists at OC Dental Center suggests "complete dentistry" because they cover all the necessary dental procedures from corrective dentistry, to orthodontics, veneers Orange County, oral surgery, and cosmetic dentistry, including tooth whitening Orange County. And while the thought of a spending a day at the dentist's office may give us the shivers, one can find comfort in the state-of-the-art offices at OC Dental Center, which makes the whole experience more like a day at the spa.
