Smile Makeover

Just about everyone wants a beautiful smile. Your smile is usually the first thing people notice about you. Unfortunately, tooth decay, staining, discoloration, and even slight shifting as a result of aging are almost inevitable. These imperfections can make you self-conscious and afraid to smile and often times make you rethink your entire expression. However, it is my goal, as a certified LVI Cosmetic Dentist to rebuild your confidence while giving you the picture perfect smile with a Molldrem Family Dentistry Smile Makeover.

Smile Makeovers can involve restoring chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth and restoring your bite.

A smile makeover may include any combination of porcelain veneers, white fillings, porcelain crowns, porcelain bridges, or as little as teeth whitening.

Cosmetic Dentistry can include:

• Zoom 3 Whitening
• Porcelain Veneers
• Porcelain Inlays/Onlays
• Porcelain Crowns
• Porcelain Bridges

Zoom 3 Whitening

Your smile is important. It's one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful - it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression.

Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine or smoking.

Whitening can get your smile looking its best. You should look for a whitening procedure that is:

• Fast and convenient
• Long lasting
• Low sensitivity
• Proven to be safe and effective
• Performed by a Dental Professional

If you are just the slightest bit unhappy with any of the items listed below, then porcelain veneers may just be the right fit for you. Today's advanced cosmetic porcelain veneers can enhance your smile to its whitest, straightest most beautiful best.

Did you know that porcelain veneers can:

• Whiten stained or discolored teeth
• Close unsightly gaps between teeth
• Repair chipped teeth, broken or worn teeth
• Smooth rough or jagged edges on front teeth
• Fix teeth that are too small or large in proportion to rest of the mouth
• Straighten crooked teeth
• Lengthen or shorten uneven teeth

What is a porcelain Veneer?

A porcelain laminate (often called a veneer) is a thin shell of porcelain that covers the front of each tooth. They bond directly to the front of the tooth. Each porcelain laminate is a work of art, carefully crafted in a laboratory to fit your individual smile. In the hands of a highly skilled dentist, porcelain laminates can provide you with an incredibly natural, beautiful smile. They are virtually undetectable and can dramatically improve your appearance. They are durable and long-lasting when compared to other cosmetic treatments. Dr. Molldrem has attended an elite training called LVI Smile and is training specifically for Cosmetic Smile Makeovers that include Porcelain Veneers. He is one of only 3% of dentists who attend this highly unparalleled training.

Porcelain Inlays and Onlays

Dental inlays and onlays are restorations used to repair rear teeth that have a mild to moderate amount of decay. They can also be used to restore teeth that are cracked or fractured if the damage is not severe enough to require a dental crown. Inlays and onlays are usually made from porcelain, or composite resin. Because they can be created from tooth-colored materials, inlays and onlays are often used to replace cracked or old silver fillings for patients who desire a more natural looking smile. Since dental inlays and onlays can be made from durable, tooth-colored porcelain, they offer much more enduring and natural-looking results than silver fillings. In addition, their customized nature allows dentists to securely bond them to the tooth surface, adding structural integrity and preventing bacteria from entering and forming cavities.
