BRITESMILE
A way to bleach teeth is called BriteSmile, a new laser system
which dramatically lightens stained teeth in a single office visit.
San Francisco Cosmetic Dental Specialists, Berkeley CA, is one
of the elite dental offices in the United States certified to
use the new system. The procedure lasts only about two hours and
leaves teeth noticeably lighter.
The system begins with a bleaching gel solution applied to stained
teeth. Then two different types of lasers, blue-light argon and
heat-intensive CO2, activate the gel which lightens discolored
tooth enamel.
PORCELAIN VENEERS
The Veneer Option may be considered for patients: unhappy with
the shape of their teeth, with chipped or cracked teeth, with
deep stains, and with misaligned and/or open spaces present.
FACTS ABOUT PORCELAIN VENEERS
They increase strength, comfort, and resistance to chipping,
cracking, and staining while retaining the appearance of natural
tooth structure.
Porcelain laminates are thin shields that are cemented to the
front of the tooth.
Porcelain veneers are much stronger and more durable than plastic
composite bonding. Sometimes composites will stain or shrink with
age. Veneers, on the other hand, retain their beautiful luster
and vitality.
There are no age group limitations. Everyone can benefit, young
and old alike.
INVISALIGN ORTHODONTIC
SYSTEM
The Invisalignú Orthodontic System is a combination of yesterday's
theories of tooth movement with the latest advances in 3D technology.
Together they provide efficient tooth movement with an appliance
that is both clear and removable. It is truly not visible. This
technology is not for everyone but the limitations are not a great
as you may think. It is specially useful for adults that want
limited tooth movement, i.e." a few teeth fixed."
