Bonding Not happy with the way your teeth look? Bonding may be the answer. For some, it can help restore the natural look of your teeth. Bonding is a process where the dentist attaches or ìbondsî materials directly to your tooth. Your natural tooth enamel and dentin are fused together with bonding materials such as porcelain and resins to create a strong structure that looks great.

Will You Need a Crown? Due to wear and tear, many patients can find themselves in need of a crown. Decay or general wear can break a tooth down over time. If you have a tooth that has too much damage for a filling, we will place a crown over it in order to save and even strengthen it. We use only the highest quality materials to construct your crown. A crown will be so beautiful you won’t be able to distinguish it from a natural tooth.
Making Your Best Smile Look Even Better! A healthy, brilliant smile can be made even better by reducing facial wrinkles and age lines. As fast as one visit, Dr. Bessonet can erase lines and wrinkles from around the mouth, and also eliminate pesky crow’s feet and stress lines on your forehead. Ascension Premier Dental now offers BOTOX® treatments to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, in the forehead, and around the eyes.
We offer an additional solution for restoring youthful contours to the skin. Juvéderm™ is an FDA-approved cosmetic filler that is injected into the skin to soften creases or folds, support areas of volume loss, or contour specific facial areas. Local anesthetic may be used to maximize your comfort during the procedure.
Veneers Veneers are thin shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. Unlike bonding, it is necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth to accommodate the shell. Based on a model of your mouth, they are meant to look like your natural teeth.

No Mercury! No Metals! No Kidding! Many patients have become used to standard fillings made from silver-mercury amalgam, the material many dental practices still use. While they are a reasonable restoration, amalgams have certain shortcomings. Decay can and does eventually leak into the tooth because metal doesn’t bond well to the tooth surface. But the biggest reason many of our patients are choosing the white bonded fillings has to do with the way they look. Many people just don’t want an ugly black plug in their teeth. We offer modern restorations that are a natural-looking white, contain no metals, and can actually strengthen your teeth. They also bond very tightly with the healthy part of the tooth so there is much less chance of decay in the future. Ascension Premier Dental Calvin G.

Crowns A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. Crowns can also be used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that’s already broken. The above article is from: MouthHealthy.org Ascension Premier Dental Calvin G.
