1. Dental Bridges

A bridge is a dental restoration used to replace one or multiple missing teeth. A bridge is made of two crowns and a false tooth in the middle. If you have missing teeth, a dental bridge will allow you to eat, speak and laugh with confidence. Porcelain bridges look terrific and match the natural teeth well. With a dental bridge, you will enjoy the confidence of having an attractive smile.

2. Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening can give you a bright-white smile in a flash! There are two ways to professionally whiten teeth. For in-office bleaching, your dentist serving Camden County, NJ, will combine bleaching gel with light to speed up the process. In-office bleaching yields dazzling results, giving you teeth that are up to 8 shades whiter after a one-hour session. Or, you can be fitted with a custom-made whitening tray that you wear for a few hours every night. You apply the tooth-bleaching kit yourself, meaning you can get a bright-white smile when and where you want.

3. Dental Veneers

Dental veneers can renew your smile with no shots, no drilling and no pain! These wafer-thin, porcelain shells fit over the teeth changing their size, length, and shape. Dental veneers are used to repair teeth that are crooked, worn-down, misaligned, fractured. It's also possible to fix gapped teeth through the use of dental veneers. The process of applying dental veneers usually involves two visits to your dentist.

4. Dental Bonding

The bonding process involves applying a tooth-colored resin to the surface of your teeth. Bonding is routinely used to fix teeth that are discolored, decayed, cracked, or chipped. Bonding is also used to make the teeth look longer and close gaps between teeth. The procedure is virtually painless and usually requires one appointment. completed in one visit. However, complex cases may require several appointments.

5. Dental Implants

Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants. A dental implant is a small anchor made of titanium that is placed in the jawbone to take the place of your missing tooth root. The benefits of dental implants include improved comfort, improved appearance, easier eating, improved speech, and durability. Dental implants have made such a difference in the lives of many people.

6. Cosmetic Fillings

You can have a healthy, natural-looking smile with cosmetic dental fillings. Cosmetic fillings are used to restore decayed, chipped, cracked, and worn-down teeth. Cosmetic fillings are the most popular type of fillings, because they blend with natural teeth. Amalgam dental fillings are less popular than cosmetic fillings because of their silver-like appearance. Your cosmetic filling can be completed in just one dental visit. The treatment will be completed quickly and you will leave the same day with your filling.
