Porcelain Veneers are a good treatment option to consider if your teeth have cracks, chips, are worn-down. Uneven teeth or misaligned teeth that are affecting your smile and appearance can look better by using Porcelain Veneers.

Procedure

During your initial consultation, you and Dr. Bajwa will discuss your concerns and determine if porcelain veneers may benefit you. If you need veneers, she will makes an initial impression of your teeth, and have your new veneer created to provide the best fit possible. Veneer is a wafer-thin piece of porcelain or resin that attaches to the front of your tooth. Using advance cosmetic dentistry techniques, the procedures will end up in removing or reshaping of the original tooth structure. This procedure is typically completes in as little as two office visits and nobody but you and your dentist will know you’re wearing them.

Lumineers are thinner than porcelain veneers. They are reversible, semi-translucent and minimally invasive. That means there are no shots and no drilling of sensitive tooth structure.

As with all cosmetic dental options, different factors make you a better candidate for one or the other. Lumineers placement can be done over existing crowns or bridges without having to replace them. Dr. Bajwa will help you evaluate the benefits of Lumineers vs Porcelain veneers and all your other cosmetic dentistry options.

In just a few visits to our Methuen dental office, you can have a custom-made smile clinically proven to last over 20 years. Plus, this treatment it is completely reversible since your natural tooth structure remains intact.

Bonding uses tooth-colored materials to replace missing tooth structure or hide cosmetically unappealing minor defects in a tooth — chips, discoloration, and even minor spacing irregularities. Bonding materials are known as “composite resins”. They contain a mixture of plastic and glass, which adds strength and translucency. The composite actually bonds, or becomes one, with the rest of the tooth.

Dr. Bajwa uses her skills, artistic eye and technology in such a manner that it may be impossible to distinguish the bonded tooth from its neighbors. Though bonding will not last as long as a dental veneer, it also does not require the involvement of a dental laboratory and, most often without drilling of the tooth. It’s a particularly good solution for teens, who often need to wait until their teeth have finished maturing before choosing a more permanent type of dental restoration.

Inlays and onlays are two types of restorations that your dentist can suggest if you have a cavity in your tooth that needs filling. An inlay is a small filling that fits into the biting surface of a tooth while an onlay covers a larger area of the tooth and is suitable for bigger cavities. So, they only cover about ¾ of the tooth rather than the entire surface like a full crown.

At Pleasant Smiles, we use porcelain matched to your teeth, giving you long-lasting, natural protection that will stand up to years of wear and tear just like a filling.

If Dr. Bajwa recommends Inlays & Onlays, she will take impressions of your teeth and get Inlays and onlays custom made in a dental laboratory. In the meantime you will wear a temporary filling. When your Inlay or Onlay is ready she will glue it into place using a special adhesive, after removing the temporary filling
