Go the Distance
If you are in the public eye or just the apple of someone's eye, cosmetic veneers can really take you the distance. Long-lasting veneers can whiten teeth that have been badly stained or damaged, PLUS they can camouflage many other flaws. When veneers are sculpted to alter the proportions of your smile, they also re-proportion the lower third of your face, improving its esthetic balance. All this can be found at the dentist's office!
In only one or two visits, without surgery or orthodontics, veneers can...
- Repair chips;
- Cover stains and fillings;
- Close gaps between teeth;
- Recontour your gumline;
- Widen your smile to fill in the gaps at the corners of your mouth;
- Plump up your lips and the fine lines that accumulate from time or smoking.
There's more to veneers than esthetics. It's true that veneers are so thin that they reflect light like your natural natural enamel, but they are also so strong that they can actually strengthen your teeth. In addition, they resist bacteria, contributing to oral health.
Cosmetic veneers, the perfect blend of science and artistry, are only a phone call away. Durable, reliable, and long lasting ... they go the distance!
Veneers... blend space-age technology with traditional artistry. Customized veneers improve and enhance your smile by camouflaging flaws, improving color, and re-proportioning your teeth and gums.
A Sticky Subject
Surfactants make it harder for bacteria to stick
The term surfactant was coined from SURFace ACTive AgeNT. The slippery chemistry of these substances makes it harder for bacteria to stick to surfaces... including your teeth and gums. Surfactants have been added to dental mouthwashes, teeth whitening products, toothpaste, impression materials, and even adhesives for veneers.
This is great news. Any method that science can use to keep tooth and gum surfaces bacteria-free is very welcome. Why? Gum disease, the leading cause of tooth loss among adults, is caused by a biofilm of bacteria that live in the mouth and on tooth surfaces. Other bacteria in this biofilm cause cavities.
It is our pleasure to use products and techniques, and to recommend home care routines and products, that can help you to reduce oral bacteria!
