Dental Bonding if You’re Not Ready to Commit

Porcelain veneers are not as expensive as you may think, and thanks to modern dental technology, dental veneers can last a decade or more as long as you practice good oral hygiene. However, porcelain veneers are permanent as are cosmetic dental crowns.

If you are unsure, you want to make a permanent commitment to cosmetic crowns or porcelain veneers, talk to Dr. George Sanchez. about dental bonding. Your Delray Beach cosmetic dentist will evaluate your situation offering you the best advice for your new smile.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding Permanent, But Not Forever

If you haven’t wanted to commit to porcelain veneers or cosmetic dental crowns, but would like your chips and cracks repaired, talk to your cosmetic dentist in Delray Beach. Dr. Sanchez is an artist when it comes to fixing teeth that are chipped, cracked or badly stained.

Bonding is used to fix teeth that are chipped and cracked, but is also used by your Delray Beach dentist to change the shape of teeth. If you have teeth that are too short or too long, Dr. Sanchez uses a technique known as enamel shaping along with cosmetic dental bonding. This completely changes the shape and size of your tooth or teeth without resorting to porcelain veneers or cosmetic dental crowns.

What is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?

If you follow Dr. George’s Blog, you will remember that cosmetic dental bonding is a process that takes place in a single dental appointment. Dental bonding uses a dental resin that is matched to the rest of the tooth. Dr. George will use a conditioning liquid to roughen up the tooth before applying the dental resin. After the dental resin is sculpted into shape, it is cured with a laser or light before being polished to mimic the rest of your smile.

A Beautiful Smile without the Commitment

If you aren’t ready to commit to porcelain veneers or cosmetic dental crowns just yet, schedule a no obligation cosmetic dental consultation with Dr. George. You won’t believe what he can do for your smile. Call for a dental bonding consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Delray Beach today.

From laser dentistry to same day professional tooth whitening, Dr. George Sanchez is the only dentist to consider. Dr. George offers both general and cosmetic dentistry procedures for people of all ages.

Laser Dentistry in Delray Beach

Lasers are used in dentistry for pain relief, dental restorations and more, and is also used for gum disease treatment. Lasers reduce recovery time and eliminate the need for drilling and anesthesia in most patients.

Laser gum treatment is another amazing modern dental technology offered by your dentist in Delray Beach. Laser gum treatment is the fast and easy way to a mouth free from gingivitis and the more dangerous periodontal disease.

Dental Technology and Metal Free Dentistry

Getting rid of mercury restorations is the best way to restore your smile, and with modern dental technology in Delray Beach, you can be assured it is safe.

Your dentist in Delray Beach does not use metal for restorations. While the American Dental Association deems silver restorations safe, Dr. George believes in using other materials as they do not contract and make x-rays possible. Because silver and other metal restorations hide things it is impossible to tell if the tooth has additional decay in a dental x-ray.

Dental Restorations Aren’t Always Forever

Repaired teeth aren’t always free from additional tooth decay. All fillings need to be replaced over time, but sadly, some people are still walking around with 25-year-old silver amalgam fillings.

Keep in mind that teeth contract over time, but metal doesn’t. You can still have cracks and chips in teeth that have been repaired. Metal fillings also lose their seal over time allowing debris and bacteria to seep in under and around the dental filling.

The Best Dental Technology is a Phone Call Away

Dental technology has made a world of difference to billions of people all over the planet, and can make the same difference to you.

Fractured and Cracked Teeth are Never Okay

You may think fractured and cracked teeth will be okay especially if they only give you problems when you eat something hot or cold. Ignoring a cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth is opening you up to all kinds of issues.

dental_implants_Delray_Beach

If you don’t take care of chipped, fractured and cracked teeth, those minor problem will quickly turn major. A tooth that is badly decayed will probably need a root canal. If that is the case, you will also need a crown. Had you scheduled an appointment with your dentist in Delray Beach when you felt some irritation, sensitivity, or pain, you wouldn’t have to spend hours in the dentist’s chair.

It’s Better Safe than Sorry with Cracked Teeth

If you notice something isn’t right when you brush and floss, when you eat or even when you open and close your mouth, it’s time to schedule an appointment with Dr. George Sanchez. Dr. George will thoroughly examine your mouth looking for signs of decay. Sometimes it’s difficult to find decay under fillings. If you follow Dr. George’s Blog, you will remember that it is possible for a filled tooth to suffer from new decay.

Cracked Teeth are Hard to Notice

Hairline cracks in healthy teeth are tough to see. It takes a trained eye to detect hairline fractures in a tooth. Your Delray Beach family dentist can detect tooth decay, even if it is living under an existing filling.

Dr. George recommends that you examine your teeth in the morning and before you go to bed. If you notice anything different, make an appointment with your dentist in Delray Beach. Chipped and cracked teeth will only get worse when left unattended.

Most importantly if you hear anything when you are eating, stop chewing and check it out. Teeth that are already cracked or chipped, will break even further when coaxed along with crunchy foods. It’s not always easy to tell if the sound you just heard was from the almond you just enjoyed or your tooth.

Schedule an Appointment Just to Be Sure

The only way to tell if you have cracked teeth or not is to schedule an appointment with Dr. George. Your Delray Beach family dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums before moving forward with your dental plan.

Call for a comprehensive dental examination with your family dentist in Delray Beach today.

A New Smile in Delray Beach with Cosmetic Dentistry

It’s a new decade and that means it’s time for a new you. Dr. George Sanchez is an experienced cosmetic dentist in Delray Beach who can give you the smile you deserve.

From porcelain veneers to cosmetic dental bonding and dental implants, cosmetic dentistry in Delray Beach will boost your self-confidence with a brand new smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Delray Beach

While the American Dental Association does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a specialty, it does require continued education. While everyone can legally practice cosmetic dentistry, not everyone is equipped or trained to place porcelain veneers or cosmetic dental crowns, but Dr. George is.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin sheets of porcelain that are used to hide stains, repair chips, and cracks and to make teeth longer. Because porcelain veneers require enamel removal, the process is permanent. Porcelain veneers can last a decade or more as long as you practice good oral hygiene. Consequently, you can have a single veneer or more depending on your needs.

Cosmetic Dental Crowns

Just like porcelain veneers, cosmetic dental crowns also require enamel removal, more actually as the crown fits over the entire tooth while a veneer is laid on the front of the tooth. Cosmetic dental crowns are stronger than porcelain veneers and can last over a decade or more as long as you take good care of your dental crowns.

Clear Braces and Cosmetic Dentistry

Unlike conventional wires and brackets, clear braces are removed when you eat, brush, and floss. Clear braces in Delray Beach are provided by Invisalign® and can take from 8 to 18 months to straighten teeth. Conventional braces can take up to two years. Ask Dr. George if you and Invisalign® are a good fit.

If you have been putting off smile design it’s time to call and schedule a no obligation cosmetic dentistry consultation with Dr. George today.
