Services
LUMINEERS®:
Extremely-thin LUMINEERS are a type of dental veneer that is customized to provide the stunning smile you have always dreamed of. In contrast to conventional veneers, there are usually no injections, no drilling of sensitive tooth structure and no pain. They are even reversible, so you don't have anything to lose and a phenomenal smile to gain. LUMINEERS is a revolutionary veneer made from patented Cerinate® Porcelain, the strongest ceramic on the market today. The LUMINEERS procedure is fast and painless. Due to the strength and thinness of LUMINEERS veneers, they can be bonded directly over existing teeth to create a new, beautiful smile without discomfort for your patient. Incorporating LUMITray™ technology provides even greater efficiency. This advanced, full-arch tray delivery system allows placement of up to 10 LUMINEERS in one step.
Features of LUMINEERS •Convenience - LUMINEERS can be placed in only 2 dental visits
•LUMITray Advantage - Significantly enhanced efficiency and accuracy
•Longevity - Clinically proven to last over 20 years**
•Versatility - Can be placed over existing restorations, including crowns
•Quality - Available exclusively through LUMINEERS Smile Design Studios
•Guaranteed - 10-year limited warranty
My patients say: "I just can't believe what a change it makes in my whole appearance"
What I say: I've had them on my own teeth now for 5 years. I wouldn't have had it done if I wasn't convinced how well it works. I always like to brag, "Lumineers take 10 years off your looks!" So, just look at me!
LumiSmile™:
LumiSmile gives you a before and after picture of the proposed final result of your dental treatment. Seeing an image of your new smile will help you understand the dramatic improvements dental treatment can provide. When you first come into the office we take your photo. It is then sent via an internet portal to the Lumineeers Smile Design Studio for a team of artists to recreate what you would look like with Lumineers. In 20 minutes they return to us another photo of you. We then print them and present the before and after photos to you to see the improvements in your smile. This is a free service. Just give us a call and we can schedule you for an exciting transformation.
Sapphire® Lesion Detection:
Sapphire Lesion Detection permits our office to potentially uncover oral lesions early. Without assistance from Sapphire Plus Lesion Detection (Velscope), cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions might go undetected and possibly spread causing pain, disfiguration or death. The sooner cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions are detected, the better the probabilities of successful prevention, therapy and recovery.
When we examine your teeth, we also exam your mouth for any sign of cancer or other lesions. The use of Velscope helps us to find and identify problems early (and with cancer, the earlier the better!). We shine the Velscope light throughout your mouth. Normal, healthy tissue will fluorescence (or glow) naturally when viewed under the right lighting conditions. Unhealthy tissue will lose the ability to fluorescence . Velscope will allow us to visualize the tissues for this fluorescence. This enhances our ability to examine the oral mucosa and screen for tissue abnormalities, potentially leading to the earlier discovery of pre-cancer, cancer, and other disease processes. This is particularly important, considering the overall five-year survival rate for oral cancer is only 50-60%, but it can be as high as 80-90% when the disease is discovered and treated in its early stages. This early detection is one of the best mechanisms for enabling treatment success, increasing survival rates, and maintaining a high quality of life.
In addition, Human papillomavirus (HPV), the sexually transmitted infection commonly assiciated with 95% of cervical cancer, has been liked to oral cancer. HPV has caused an increase of cases in young, non-smokers who previously had a low incidence of oral cancer. It is also true that about 25% of oral cancer has no known risk factors.
I do this Velscope exam every two years. Oral cancer screening is now the standard of care....it is so important! Every adult patient in my office gets this done.
Snap-On Smile®:
Snap-on Smile's distinctive, proprietary system of hi-tech dental resin make it very thin but extremely strong. It fits right over your own teeth to provide you with a stunning, natural looking smile – even if you have stains, chips, gaps or missing teeth.
Snap-On Smile is a patented, easy and painless way to obtain a beautiful smile. It was invented by a dentist who realized that not everyone can afford thousands of dollars to get a Hollywood smile make-over. After years of extensive research and development, we can now provide you with a Snap-On Smile that is thin and strong with the look of natural teeth. You can eat and drink with your Snap-On Smile.
