WHAT IS INVOLVED IN SMILE DESIGN?
Our Smile Design process commences with a personalized consultation led by Dr. Gemian, where he carefully examines each individual tooth and attentively discusses your specific goals and concerns. Together, you will explore all available options to ensure the best possible outcome, taking into consideration your desired timeframe and budgetary considerations.
Based on the comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Gemian and our dedicated team will devise a customized plan tailored to your needs, ensuring that you leave our practice with a smile that you can’t wait to showcase to the world.
We offer a wide range of procedures to help you achieve your smile goals, including Teeth Whitening, Composite Fillings and Restorations, cosmetic contouring, dental implants, porcelain bridges, crowns and veneers, orthodontics (braces and Invisalign), and more. Rest assured, our extensive repertoire of services is designed to cater to your unique requirements, ensuring that you receive the most suitable treatments for your desired outcome.
Our Teeth Whitening procedure offers a completely non-invasive solution that is not only simple and safe but also highly effective in enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. With a variety of teeth whitening options at our disposal, we can significantly improve the shade of your teeth, helping you achieve a brighter and more radiant smile.
When it comes to straightening your teeth, both Braces and Invisalign serve as highly effective options. However, the choice between them depends on your individual circumstances. Braces are visible but tend to be more suitable for addressing severe misalignments. Additionally, they require less frequent adjustments. On the other hand, Invisalign offers a clear aligner solution that is nearly invisible in some cases and may provide faster results compared to traditional braces. However, it’s important to note that Invisalign can be more costly and may not always be the ideal choice. By scheduling a consultation with Dr. Maher, you can determine the most suitable and optimal solution for your specific needs.
Dental Veneers are a cosmetic solution designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth by covering their front surface. These thin porcelain shells are meticulously shaped to harmonize with your mouth, the surrounding teeth, and your facial structure. By using dental veneers, you can achieve a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile while concealing any imperfections or discoloration in your natural teeth.
When applied with expertise, dental veneers seamlessly blend in with your natural teeth, rendering them indistinguishable. This level of precision requires meticulous attention to detail and precise color matching. Rest assured, Dr. Maher will dedicate himself to ensuring that your dental veneers are flawlessly crafted and seamlessly integrated, resulting in a smile that appears entirely natural and stunning.
A dental crown, commonly referred to as a Dental Cap, is a restorative dental treatment that covers the entire surface of a tooth. Unlike veneers, which only cover the front portion, dental crowns provide full coverage. Their purpose extends beyond cosmetic enhancement, as they also strengthen the tooth. Dental crowns are particularly beneficial for damaged teeth that require additional support.
By opting for dental crowns, you can protect weakened teeth from fractures or further deterioration. They are frequently used to safeguard dental implants or teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. Additionally, dental crowns play a crucial role in supporting dental bridges. With the help of dental crowns, the functionality of your teeth is fully restored, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods without limitations.
When expertly fitted, a dental crown is a durable and long-lasting solution that seamlessly blends in with your natural teeth. In certain cases, we may recommend a stronger alloy crown instead of a porcelain one for increased strength, although this decision will be thoroughly discussed with you. Furthermore, a hybrid dental crown may be utilized, considering the unique circumstances of your dental needs.
Dental Implants are primarily used to replace missing teeth, offering a reliable and durable solution. In fact, dental implants can often surpass the strength of your natural teeth while seamlessly blending in with your existing dental structure. By opting for dental implants, you can regain a sense of naturalness, as they restore your ability to bite and chew comfortably, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods once again. Furthermore, depending on the location of the missing tooth, dental implants can contribute to improved speech patterns, promoting a more natural way of speaking.
It is essential to address a missing tooth promptly, not only for achieving a confident smile but also for the overall health of your surrounding teeth. Without the support of a tooth, neighboring teeth may shift, leading to issues with alignment and diminished strength. Additionally, the risk of gum disease may increase. While not all missing teeth will necessarily cause these complications, it is crucial to have a comprehensive assessment of your oral health to receive tailored advice and determine whether dental implants are a suitable option for you.
Dental bridges are an effective solution when one or more teeth are missing. These bridges are designed to fill the gaps left by the missing teeth and span across the space where they once were. It is crucial to address the issue of missing teeth, as their absence can lead to various dental problems, including complications with the surrounding teeth.
The placement of dental bridges involves cementing them to the adjacent teeth, which can either be your natural teeth or dental implants. These adjoining teeth serve as the anchors for the new bridge, ensuring stability and functionality. Similar to dental crowns, the choice of material for dental bridges is a significant decision that requires careful consideration. The most suitable material will depend on factors such as the location of the bridge and your specific circumstances, and our team will thoroughly assess these factors to determine the best option for you.
For the most comprehensive and optimal results, we believe that Cosmetic Dentistry should be approached holistically. To achieve this, we highly recommend a Smile Design consultation, where Dr. Maher and our team will thoroughly assess your current dental situation and provide personalized advice tailored to your needs. By taking this step, we can ensure that your experience with us is exceptional, leaving our dental office with a confident smile.
