Teeth Whitening
Statistics reveal that Americans place a high value on their smile. If you are not happy with your smile, teeth whitening may provide the solution! Teeth whitening procedures can help lighten coffee-stained teeth, remove cigarette and tobacco discolorations and correct yellowing in teeth due to aging. Be sure to ask Dr. Olson which teeth whitening treatment is best for you.
Ceramic Inlays and Onlays
On lays and inlays are often used to restore teeth that are severely damaged by decay or wear. They are usually applied to the chewing surface of the back teeth. An inlay fits within the contours of the tooth. An onlay not only fits within these contours, but also covers the chewing surface of the teeth. They are hand crafted so they mold to the uniqueness of your mouth! Onlays and Inlays usually require two visits to restore teeth to their natural health.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Until recently, dental patients have been told that repairing teeth with white fillings was just for cosmetic purposes, and white filings may not be as durable as the metal restorations. This philosophy is now passe with the modern technologies of dental adhesion, resins, and state-of-art ceramics. The restorations are close to rivaling nature in strength, wear, function, and appearance. There are now sixteen-year studies showing that with properly administered techniques, these advanced restorations surpass traditional dentistry.
Diagnostic Wax-Up
A diagnostic wax-up serves as treatment “blueprint.” Models are made from impressions of the mouth and the teeth are contoured in wax to simulate the bite and tooth shapes that are ideal for the individual patient. This wax model allows a preview for the doctor and patient and is used as the guide for temporary restoration for evaluation by the patient, doctor and laboratory.
Invisalign
If you have always wanted straighter teeth but dreaded the idea of a full-metal mouth, Invisalign is the solution for you. These wonderfully invisible aligners are elegantly transparent: no one but you knows they are there. They gently and effectively correct flaws in the alignment of your smile, restoring it to its most comfortable and beautiful position. Invisalign is so discreet, it is like wearing contact lenses on your teeth. Just imagine finally having beautifully straight teeth while continuing your routine as usual. You can even remove your aligners for a special occasion.
