Cosmetic Dentistry in Mount Vernon, NY
Are your teeth uneven or chipped? Or do you have crooked teeth you’d like to straighten? For more than two decades, Sparkle Dental has helped patients get a more attractive smile using cosmetic dentistry.
Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells used to improve the appearance of your teeth. With porcelain veneers, we can:
- Fix teeth that have become stained, yellowed, or discolored
- Fix teeth that are uneven in length
- Correct the size of teeth that are too large or too small
- Repair chipped, cracked, broken or worn teeth
- Close gaps between teeth
Veneers usually take two office visits. The procedure for placing veneers starts with preparing your teeth so the veneer will fit properly. A small amount of enamel is removed from the surface of the teeth that will get veneers. Then impressions are taken of your teeth so the veneers can be custom-made to fit your teeth, the color shade is selected and this information is sent to the lab so your veneers can be made.
On your second visit, the veneers are checked for color and fit and then bonded to your teeth, giving you a new smile.
Teeth Whitening
When we were young, most of us had bright, white teeth. But over the years, food and beverages caused our teeth to lose their whiteness and become yellowed or discolored. Another cause of yellowed teeth is smoking or chewing tobacco. You can try to whiten your teeth at home with over-the-counter products, but they will not whiten your teeth as effectively as our professional in-office treatment.
Our whitening procedure is done in one office visit and you will see noticeable results immediately.
Invisalign
Sparkle Dental has helped hundreds of people achieve a better smile by straightening their teeth with Invisalign clear braces. Most people who want straighter teeth would like to avoid the unattractive look of metal braces. Now you can get straighter teeth using the Invisalign clear aligner trays.
Invisalign uses aligner trays made from a clear plastic which is difficult to detect in most instances. With metal braces, food particles can become lodged in the wires, making cleaning your teeth difficult and time-consuming. But with Invisalign, you can easily remove the trays while eating, brushing and flossing.
The Invisalign system works by putting pressure on your teeth in the right areas to gently move them into alignment. As your teeth are gently straightened, you will change the aligners about every two weeks. On average, it takes about 12 months to straighten your teeth with Invisalign, compared to an average of 24 months for metal braces.
Not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign clear braces; there are some situations where Invisalign will not be the best choice to correct your misaligned teeth. Call us at (914) 668-1722 for an appointment to see if Invisalign is right for you.
Dental Bonding
Chipped or broken teeth make your smile less attractive. And rough edges from chipped or broken teeth can cut the inside of your mouth when you eat. Dental bonding is a procedure used to repair chipped or broken teeth.
The same type of composite resin used for cavity fillings is used to repair your broken or chipped teeth. The resin is a special plastic used in dentistry and it has glass or quartz mixed with it, providing a strong, durable material which can be shaped, making it ideal for repairing your teeth. Call us for an appointment to find out how we can restore your chipped or broken teeth.
