Instant Orthodontics

For many adults, changing their smile through cosmetic dentistry has significant advantages over choosing traditional orthodontics. In as little as two appointments, your smile can be straightened, teeth length can be restored and color, shape and contour can all be corrected and balanced to harmonize with your face and smile. Many busy adults today just don't have the time for the many office visits required with traditional orthodontics. The option of "instant orthodontics" through cosmetic dentistry certainly is a treatment to consider for the best and most convenient overall results!

Invisalign

Invisalign is a groundbreaking way to straighten your teeth without uncomfortable braces or unsightly metal appliances. Invisalign uses a series of removable aligners that are virtually invisible, so you don't have to worry about your appearance. You can take them out for daily necessities like eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. Comfortable, convenient and complementary to your smile, Invisalign is the preferred method of teeth alignment for patients. Call us today to find out more about Invisalign, invisible braces.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers solve a multitude of dental issues. They can make your teeth appear more even, straighter and whiter. They will cover and strengthen cracks and chips or close gaps and spaces. Porcelain veneers have become an extremely popular method of achieving a beautiful smile. The veneers are fabricated in a lab from impressions taken by the dentist. A small layer of enamel is removed from the tooth to make room for the veneers, then they are bonded permanently to the tooth. Many prefer veneers to bonding because they last longer and are more resistant to staining. Additionally, the veneer material reflects light in a more tooth-like manner, making them appear more naturally beautiful. To inquire more about how you may gain a lovelier, natural smile with porcelain veneers, please call Dr. Chaffin's office today.

Porcelain Crowns

The most common crown restoration placed today utilizes a metal lining covered with porcelain. These types of restorations are not as natural in appearance because light is not able to pass through porcelain-metal crowns as it does with a natural tooth. The result is an opaque or flat-looking tooth. Often, these types of traditional crowns leave a dark or gray line next to the gum line. Our talented team is proud to offer a natural-looking alternative: all-ceramic, non-metal crowns! With these newer restorations you will notice the "life-like" appearance that mimics natural teeth and does not produce the black line along the gum so common with porcelain-metal crowns.

Gum Contouring

Healthy and even gum lines are essential to any beautiful smile. Attractive gums complement and frame your teeth, making your smile look healthier and more attractive. If your gums are red and swollen or if your teeth look too small or too short because of the disproportionate size relationship between your teeth and gums, then gum contouring may be the solution for you. Gum contouring can give you the consistent, even gum line you need for a healthy and attractive smile.

Bridges

A bridge is a custom device anchored to neighboring teeth that replaces one or more missing teeth. When a lost tooth is replaced with bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing one are prepared as crowns to serve as abutments to hold the prosthetic (replacement) tooth in place. Crowns and bridges are most commonly prepared from high quality materials such as semi-precious or precious metals, porcelain or a fused combination of the two. Aesthetics, function and tissue compatibility are considered when selecting the material most suitable for you.

Laser Dentistry

An unattractive smile is not only embarrassing, it affects confidence and self-esteem. To keep your smile healthy and attractive, start with the gums. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss and has been linked to heart disease, stroke and premature and low birth-weight babies. Periodontal laser therapy treats the disease more effectively and comfortably than ever, removing scar tissue in periodontal pockets, killing disease causing bacteria and promoting the re-attachment of the gum to tooth.

Bonding

Chipped, discolored or teeth with gaps can be embarrassing and can affect your self-esteem and confidence. Bonding is the perfect solution. Inexpensive and conservative, bonding uses a tooth-colored composite material to restore teeth and enhance smiles. The composite is placed on the tooth, then shaped and molded to achieve the desired results, including: whitening, closing spaces between teeth, making teeth appear straighter and repairing chips and cracks. The material is then hardened and polished, creating a natural appearance.
