Dental Veneers in Miami, FL

A veneer is an extremely thin shell made from composite and porcelain materials. Here are some of the most common reasons people opt to have a dental veneer attached:

• Disguise a chipped or cracked tooth
• Disguise a tooth with deep staining that didn’t improve with professional teeth whitening
• Cover a misshapen tooth

When you receive a veneer, your dentist removes a small portion of the enamel from the tooth with a minor defect to ensure that the veneer will remain in place without protruding further than the rest of your teeth. Your dentist applies a strong adhesive to the veneer and then places it on your tooth.

Using a curing light toward the end of the procedure speeds up the process of the veneer adhering to your tooth. People most often choose veneers for one of their front teeth, although your dentist can place one on any of your teeth that you use to tear food but do not chew with them.

Professional Teeth Whitening

When you want your teeth to be noticeably whiter, buying a tooth-whitening kit at a drugstore is often not enough. The dentists at America Dental Clinic use a professional strength bleaching product to remove stains below the top level of tooth enamel for an impressive shine. Your teeth could be up to 10 shades brighter after completing our in-home or in-office professional teeth whitening procedure.

You need to have an impression made of your top and bottom rows of teeth with either treatment option. For in-office teeth whitening, you remain in the dental chair while one of our dentists pours the bleach into each impression and places both of them in your mouth.

The total treatment time is 30 to 60 minutes, at which point our dentist removes each impression and asks you to rinse your mouth. Your dentist may also use a curing light to force any gel remaining on your teeth into deeper layers of tooth enamel.

With the home-based treatment method, you take the two trays and bleaching chemicals home with you and prepare them yourself. You should wear the trays and gel while sleeping for several consecutive nights for the best results.

Dental Crowns

Receiving a dental crown can be either a cosmetic procedure to disguise a tooth with a minor defect or a restorative procedure, such as when your dentist applies a crown after a root canal. Dental insurance companies typically don’t cover elective procedures meant to improve appearance, but you should always check with your provider before scheduling an appointment with us.

Dental crowns fit over the entire tooth. It can be a great choice to hide a decayed, chipped, cracked, or misshapen tooth without drawing attention to the treated tooth.

The above are just some of the cosmetic dentistry services we offer at America Dental Clinic. Please contact our Miami practice to request a consultation to learn more about each service.
