Porcelain Veneers

Ultra-thin porcelain veneers can correct broken, weakened, or discolored teeth. No more yellow. No more gaps or embarrassing chips. And veneers can return real structural integrity to damaged teeth, while leaving them looking as good (or possibly better) than the originals. Veneers are custom made to fit over your natural teeth, with a finish more translucent to blend in with surrounding teeth. So people won’t notice your tooth, they’ll simply see your beautiful, natural smile. Dr. Lovan is a certified Lumineers® Dental Veneers provider.

Porcelain Crowns

For teeth that are damaged or decayed, crowns can be the perfect solution. Porcelain crowns fit over damaged teeth, restoring their strength, health, and beauty. Crowns can be matched to your natural tooth color so the fact that you have had dental work is easily concealed.

Section 2

Porcelain Bridges

Sometimes a beautiful smile takes work that is a bit more involved. If you notice strain when biting down, pain during chewing, or difficulty in speaking due to misaligned or missing teeth, bridges might be the right option for you. They work by literally bridging the gaps between missing teeth, closing spaces with durable, injury-resistant, realistic-looking artificial teeth. Because they are semi-permanent, bridges can be removed only by a dentist but are long lasting and strong.

Dental Implants

If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants may be the perfect solution for you.

Dental implants are replacement teeth that look like and can be cared for like your original teeth. Dental Implants can also be used to secure dentures. In the not so distant past constant denture relining and shifting, dietary restrictions and jaw shrinkage was what many people with missing teeth had to look forward to. For our patients who want to avoid these problems, we believe implants are the best dentistry has to offer. Dental implants can restore complete functionality and natural beauty.

Implants are secured with an amazingly strong titanium post that can last 25 years or more. They don’t interfere with speech, eating or comfort. Recent advancements make implants easier and more affordable than ever.

When you are missing teeth, the jawbone weakens and recedes. Implants act like a tooth root, keeping your jaw strong and youthful looking.

Composite Bonding

A less expensive and invasive remedy than crowns or veneers, bonding is a great way to mask chipped, stained, injured, or otherwise imperfect teeth. During the procedure, a thin layer of plastic is painted onto the damaged teeth, adding strength and making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Natural Tooth-colored filling

Nonmetallic composite “fillings” are a natural looking healthy alternative to metal fillings, which can fill an otherwise bright smile with dark shadows. Conventional metal amalgam material can hide decay and weaken the natural tooth. Metal fillings are placed after removing large parts of the healthy tooth. Over time, a crown may be needed because the tooth is weaker and subsequently cracks.

Modern composite fillings are bonded to the tooth, avoiding the need to remove large portions of healthy tooth that saves more of your natural tooth for many years to come.

Tooth Whitening

If you have noticed that your teeth are becoming dull or stained, tooth whitening can restore them to a dazzling, bright, white again. Over time our teeth may become stained from foods, beverages and smoking. Also, as we age it is natural for our teeth to become duller. Whitening your teeth can improve your appearance and give you a younger looking smile. The Sapphire Whitening System uses professional grade teeth whitening gel and a powerful light to quickly and safely whiten your teeth. For your convenience we offer both Sapphire in office or take home whitening systems.

Clear Braces

Clear braces that we provide–such as Clear Correct–straighten your teeth without the need for uncomfortable and unsightly metal wires and brackets. While braces produce beautiful results, many patients never wear them for fear of looking unattractive or having many cavities at the end of the treatment. Clear Correct is an alternative way to produce results—and is nearly invisible. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Clear Correct straightens your teeth right before your eyes. Change them about every two weeks, and your teeth will move—little by little, week by week—until they have moved to the final position your dentist has prescribed.
