Bonding
So you want to enhance your smile, but you have concerns about procedures and cost. Cosmetic bonding is the perfect solution! Affordable and conservative, bonding can be used for a variety of enhancements, including whitening stain-resistant teeth (including tetracycline stains), repairing chips and closing gaps between teeth. The procedure is simple: a composite material is placed on the tooth, then shaped to the desired result. Finally, the material is hardened and polished, creating a natural appearance.
Inlays and Onlays
To repair damage to the tooth’s biting surface, rather than using a simple filling, or a crown, a dentist will often use an inlay, or an onlay. Inlays and onlays can be made from porcelain, gold, or composite or ceramic resin, although porcelain is now becoming the material of choice because of its strength and potential to match the natural color of your tooth. An inlay is similar to a filling and lies inside the cusp tips of the tooth. They are custom-made to fit the prepared cavity and are then cemented into place. An onlay is a more extensive reconstruction that covers one or more cusps of a tooth. Onlays are indicated in situations where a substantial reconstruction is required. However, more of the tooth structure can be conserved compared to the placement of a crown.
Orthodontics
There was a time when orthodontics was considered a treatment for mainly the pre-teen and teenage set. Not anymore. Although it pays to start orthodontic treatment early, close to 30% of orthodontic patients in the U.S. are adults. No matter what your age, orthodontics can protect your bite, maximize your teeth's performance, and create a beautiful, well-aligned smile. Orthodontic treatment can also rejuvenate your facial appearance by reshaping the jaw, neck and lips. In addition, well-aligned teeth make oral hygiene easier to maintain. Contact Dr. Torbati's office today to find out how orthodontic treatments, such as braces, can improve your appearance, improve your health and make you feel beautiful.
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. Eat, brush and floss as usual. You can even remove your aligners for a special occasion.
Endodontics
With today's modern dental techniques, having root canals done by a dentist is no longer a scary experience. Dr. Torbati is experienced in performing root canal therapy. Extensive decay, an accident, tooth fracture, or gum disease can kill teeth and cause a root canal symptom such as root canal pain or a dental abscess. However, regardless of the root canal cause, your teeth can be saved using modern therapy to do root canal treatment.
Periodontics
Periodontal treatment starts with prevention: regular cleanings and good hygiene habits are excellent precautions to take to avoid gum disease. The main cause of periodontal disease is bacteria in the form of a sticky, colorless plaque that constantly forms on your teeth; however, other factors can cause the disease or influence its progression. Scaling, root planing and local delivery of antimicrobials can treat and prevent the progression of the disease. In some cases, surgical therapy or cosmetic solutions may be necessary to correct the damage from gum disease physically and cosmetically. Dr. Torbati can evaluate your situation and present the best treatment options for you.
