Cosmetic Dentistry Cosmetic dentistry has skyrocketed in popularity over the past few decades. At Mid Valley Family Dental, we specialize in several cosmetic services aimed at improving the appearance of your teeth and overall smile. From minor cosmetic changes to full-tooth restorations, we have got you covered!Teeth WhiteningTeeth Whitening is undoubtedly the most popular and most conservative way to improve your smile. You may have seen TV advertising for toothpastes that whiten your teeth. The results can’t match what we can do for you. Professional tooth whitening by Dr. Horn and his team effectively lightens brown and yellow enamel discoloration using a special gel inside a custom-made tray that covers your teeth. The treatment can be completed in just over an hour in our office. Porcelain CrownsA dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that completely covers the visible portion of a damaged or decayed tooth. In previous years, a dental crown was fabricated using a gold or silver amalgam. These days, porcelain is usually the material of choice. Porcelain is a ceramic compound that mimics the light-reflective properties of natural enamel. It can also be textured and color-matched to your existing teeth. Thanks to porcelain and other ceramics, crowns can also be used to fix the aesthetics of an unsightly tooth. Dental VeneersVeneers change the shape, color and length of your teeth giving you a strong, beautiful new smile. The veneer is made and bonded to the tooth, incorporating the desired changes in shape and color. Since the veneer is so thin and there is no metal in it, the aesthetic potential is very high. Veneers can be made of two different materials, either composite or porcelain. Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded over the front your natural teeth. Veneers look so good you will wonder why you waited so long! Dental BondingPatients looking for a less-invasive and more cost-effective solution may benefit from dental bonding. Dental bonding is used to sculpt individual teeth with a special tooth-like material that looks, acts and feels like your own tooth enamel. Bonding can be used to lengthen small or misshapen teeth, whiten dark or stained teeth, or close spaces between teeth. Bonding can usually be completed in just one appointment. It is an affordable, quick and painless way to improve your smile. Tooth Colored FillingsTooth colored fillings are created using a composite material, it is a blend of quartz and resin that can be adjusted to match your natural tooth color. In the past dentists would shy away from tooth colored fillings in high bite pressure areas, but the material used today is stronger and more durable, helping you have better results. Best of all, composite material is more natural looking and have no known health risks, which is a concern for some patients with silver amalgam fillings.
