Porcelain Veneers
Of all the methods available today for changing and improving the look of your smile, veneers are among the most popular and successful with our patients. The process involves removing a small amount of tooth structure to make room for the veneers. Dr. Chase's master ceramist then fabricates the veneers on models of your teeth. After placement, the veneers look like natural teeth. Some advantages of porcelain veneers include: increased longevity, natural beauty and resistance to staining. Let us create your perfect smile and you will see what distinguishes Dr. Chase and his team from the rest in the field.
Aesthetic Inlays & Onlays
In the past, large restorations or large areas of decay, required placing a gold or porcelain crown (cap) on a tooth to provide enough strength. Now, with modern materials and adhesives, teeth can be restored with aesthetic Inlays or Onlays. Unlike a crown, these restorations are minimally invasive, retaining as much of the original tooth enamel as possible.
- The procedure requires only removing any existing
old restorations or decay. - Taking an impression for a laboratory model.
- Fabricating the restoration on the model.
- Then bonding the restoration in place.
Inlays and Onlays provide a healthy, beautiful, and more importantly... a conservative way to restore your smile.
Smile Design
If you are embarrassed by chipped, worn, broken, discolored, or missing teeth;if you have gaps between your teeth or a gummy smile... Smile Design can restore your smile to a healthy, attractive appearance. We will design your smile to complement your features and look completely natural. Now, with modern imaging technology, you can preview your redesigned smile before deciding upon treatment. Dr. Chase will then discuss treatment options with you to determine which treatment alternative best suits your goals.
Teeth Whitening
If you are unhappy with the dull, yellowish shade of your teeth, consider teeth whitening as the perfect solution! Teeth whitening is safe, effective, and an efficient way to dramatically improve your overall appearance. Dr. Chase can help you choose the most effective and convenient method of whitening for you. We offer in-office whitening as well as take-home kits. These processes can actually make your natural tooth color from seven to twelve shades brighter than it is right now! You too, can have the bright, white smile that you've always dreamed about!
Non-Metal Fillings
Metal Fillings are obsolete. Amalgams (silver/mercury) expand and contract with temperature changes. This movement weakens the tooth wall and can cause fractures. It also allows bacteria to enter and cause decay. Composites are more constructive restorations than metal, bonding directly to the tooth, requiring far less drilling of healthy tooth structure. Today’s tooth-colored composites, when used to replace small silver fillings or restore small areas of decay, are safer, stronger and more attractive than metal.
Implants
Implants completely simulate a natural tooth in form and function. Placing implants involves a surgical procedure that replaces the missing teeth. A titanium cylinder secured in the bone functions as the root of your tooth. Then a crown is attached to the cylinder, giving the appearance of a natural tooth. A dental implant is ultimately a replacement for the root of the missing tooth. Implants are often the first choice when replacing missing teeth because they are so strong and natural in appearance.
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 gumline. 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 gumline so common with porcelain-metal crowns.
Invisalign
If you have always wanted straighter teeth but dreaded the idea of a full-metal mouth, Invisalign is the solution for you. These wonderfully invisible aligners are elegantly transparent: no one but you knows they are there. They gently and effectively correct flaws in the alignment of your smile, restoring it to its most comfortable and beautiful position. Invisalign is so discreet, it is like wearing contact lenses on your teeth. Just imagine finally having beautifully straight teeth while continuing your routine as usual. Eat, brush and floss as usual. You can even remove your aligners for a special occasion.
