Like so many of today’s families, yours is probably a very busy one. Sometimes, taking care of ourselves gets pushed to the background to make room for so many other responsibilities. Then one day, you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, and it is immediately evident that you’ve been neglecting a few things. Would you be surprised to know that going to the dentist is one of those things?

It’s true. Going to the dentist for regular care, or perhaps for a complete Smile Makeover, is sometimes sent to the bottom of the list. But taking care of yourself is one of the best ways to take care of those you love, right? Let’s find out more about a Smile Makeover to see if it can put the spring back in your step.

Instant Orthodontics is a wonderful example of how the latest dental technology can solve issues that only a few years ago would have remained untreated.

Instant Orthodontics uses porcelain veneers and other advanced cosmetic dentistry procedures to transform a smile that is crooked, uneven or misaligned. Best of all, it takes only a few short visits to the dentist to create the smile of your dreams without the use of braces.

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells placed on the front surfaces of the teeth for an incredibly natural look and feel that is virtually undetectable. Porcelain veneers can dramatically change your tooth’s length, width, color and shape for a beautifully white and straight smile you never thought possible.

During your consultation with your dentist, an impression is made of your teeth. This impression is sent to the dental lab, where a wax model of your new smile is created. After you and your dentist have approved your new look, the lab creates your porcelain veneers, and your dentist will permanently bond the veneers to your natural teeth.

Your dentist may use a variety of dental technologies to assist in the creation of your new smile, including:

• IntraOral Camera - a small, pen-like camera that helps the dentist diagnose necessary treatment for each tooth
• Digital Imaging - See your new smile before the procedure begins!
• Soft Tissue Laser - Used to recontour your gum line or surgically eliminate gaps between front teeth
• The Wand - A computer controlled anesthesia device for painless injections

If you’ve spent years suffering from the discomfort and low self esteem that comes with an unattractive smile and wearing braces, consider instant orthodontics. Why not contact Drs. Doolin and Haddad of Rochester Advanced Dentistry today to find out if instant orthodontics is the right solution for you?

As we age, our teeth are affected. They may change color, change appearance, and become loose due to bone loss. But aging itself does not have to be a reason for our teeth to lose their function. With excellent dental care, your teeth can continue to look good and function well far into the aging process.

Many things can stain teeth over time, including:

• Smoking
• Coffee and tea drinking
• Certain food, such as berries, that can stain the teeth
• Wine drinking
• Certain medications

But let’s say for a moment that you somehow managed to avoid these substances. What else could affect your teeth? Well, teeth enamel begins to thin with age, causing a gray color and less lustrous appearance. Thinning enamel causes greater risk of decay as well. This alone is good enough reason to seek a solution.

Regardless of your age, you’re never too old to enjoy a beautiful new smile. Porcelain veneers are the perfect solution to aging teeth. Wafer-thin, lustrous shells of porcelain affixed to the front of your teeth, porcelain veneers can create a gorgeous set of pearly whites that will make you look younger and feel younger, as well as helping to restore teeth function and preventing decay.

Porcelain veneers are completely safe, easy to apply and affordable. If you’ve been considering a fast, pain-free way to bring back your youthful smile, porcelain veneers may be exactly the solution you’ve been seeking. Please contact Rochester Advanced Dentistry today to schedule your free, private consultation with Dr. Jeffrey Haddad or Dr. Kurt Doolin to find out if porcelain veneers are the right solution for you.
