RD Teeth Whitening in Enterprise, AL

This is the procedure of making teeth whiter, and therefore more attractive. Our office uses several methods: LED Assisted, passive tray whitening, and professional strength white strips are a few we can help with.

We offer several safe, effective and fast options that can fit your goals & budget. In just over an hour, your teeth will be dramatically whiter.

Our Premier Offering is In-Chair Whitening

Before starting, we will make a record of the current shade of your teeth. Your teeth would then be polished with pumice, a grainy material used to remove any plaque on the surface.  Your mouth will be isolated with gauze to keep your teeth dry.  Retractors may be used to keep your cheeks, lips, and tongue well away from the whitening solution.  A barrier would next be placed along the gumline to further protect it from exposure to the solution.  Next, the teeth would be coated with a whitening solution on the front surface only. The solution typically includes either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as the bleaching agent.  We use a curing light or laser to activate the peroxide. Once applied, the solution would be left on the teeth for up to 60 minutes.

Once the optimum shade has been reached (or the maximum time has passed), the teeth would be rinsed. A fluoride application may be used to help ease any tooth sensitivity, which is a common side effect.

Additional visits can be scheduled until the desired shade is reached.

The tray method involves having impressions taken from which laboratory fabricated custom vinyl trays are made. A carbamide peroxide gel is placed in these trays and the trays with gel are worn for about 3 hours, or overnight. The entire process takes 3-4 weeks of daily use. Three different strengths of gel may be used, however the higher the strength the greater the likelihood of reactions or tooth sensitivity. The tray method is recommended for badly stained teeth, such as tetracycline staining, and it may take several months of use to see significant color improvement. For maintenance of whitened teeth the trays should be used every several months.

WHAT ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for dramatically improving your smile & can be done as quickly as a single visit to Restoration Dental.

Placing custom porcelain veneers requires a high degree of technical skill and attention to detail. Here at Restoration Dental veneer cases are routine.  We have the experience technology, and skills required to deliver a great smile.  We design each case individually to improve and enhance the individual characteristics of each patient’s unique smile.

DO VENEERS LOOK LIKE NORMAL TEETH?

When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually unnoticeable and highly resistant to stains from things like coffee, tea, or even smoking stains. Their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unmatched by other restoration options.

ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS DURABLE?

With proper care, porcelain veneers will keep you smiling for well over a decade.

Dr. Love will use proven techniques as well as the highest-grade porcelains & bonding compounds to ensure your veneers will last & stay as beautiful as possible for as long as possible.

What Are CEREC® Same Day Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a protective cap covering a damaged tooth to prevent further infection. Traditional crowns require multiple visits to your dentist in Enterprise. However, CEREC same-day crowns allow patients to walk out of the dental office with a newly restored smile after the first visit.
CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. By utilizing CEREC technology, your dentist in Enterprise can create a custom dental crown within a single visit rather than waiting on a third-party lab.

CEREC® Same Day Crowns Procedure

The CEREC same-day crown procedure starts with the dentist taking digital impressions of your teeth. A digital teeth impression is more comfortable and accurate than traditional dental putty.

Dr. Michael E. Love then uses these impressions to create a custom dental crown using our in-office 3D milling machine, before placing the dental crown, the dentist will remove the decayed parts of your tooth to prevent the spread of infection and make room for the crown. Once the crown is ready, we ensure that it fits comfortably in your mouth then safely secure it.

The result is a newly restored smile and bite with a dental crown that can last up to 15 years.

RD Dental Implants in Enterprise, AL

Dental implants are a three-step process that provide replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. There is absolutely no better or longer lasting restoration option available beyond Implants. The first step is the initial exam and consultation to ensure that the implant procedure is right for you.  The second step of the implant process involves removal of any remaining tooth or root material and in that same visit – tiny titanium posts are placed into the jaw bone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating an incredibly strong foundation for the replacement teeth. In addition to their unmatched strength and appearance, dental implants will preserve facial structure & prevent excess bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.

Dental implants are changing people’s lives! With implants, people are regaining the ability & confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life again.

EVALUATION FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS

If you feel dental implants could be the right choice for you, we will start with a comprehensive dental health checkup and 3D Panoramic X-Ray.  During the consultation visits, your individual needs and desires will be addressed by Dr. Love.  Your questions and concerns are important!  We with work with you very closely to help make your implant procedure something you will be smiling about!
