Summertime is here! Whether you plan to lounge by the pool, go hiking in the woods, or take a vacation to a luxurious resort, a beautiful smile can serve as the perfect accessory for all of your sunny weather adventures. But what if you dislike some aspects of your smile’s appearance? Dr. Makadia and our team are here to help with top-quality cosmetic dental treatments. We might suggest that you get veneers/Lumineers, dental crowns, or Invisalign.

Veneers/Lumineers

Veneers and Lumineers are thin, custom-crafted pieces of porcelain that we use to help patients hide aesthetic imperfections in their teeth. They are durable, natural-looking, and versatile. Plus, treatment takes just a few appointments!

Veneers or Lumineers might be right for you if you are dealing with any of the following issues:

  • Cracks and chips
  • Discoloration
  • Small gaps between the teeth
  • Teeth that appear too short
  • Asymmetrical teeth

If you are curious about the differences between veneers and Lumineers, our team will be happy to share information with you. Basically, Lumineers are a particular brand of veneers. They are known for being very thin.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover the entire portion of a tooth that protrudes above the gumline. They are often used to renew the function and strength of damaged teeth. However, they also have some cosmetic advantages. For example, a crown can enhance the shape of a badly worn-down tooth.

We use lifelike materials to create beautiful crowns that are virtually indistinguishable from natural tooth enamel. Plus, our office features the advanced CEREC system, which uses CAD/CAM technology to allow us to create gorgeous restorations in just a few hours.

Invisalign

If your teeth are significantly misaligned, it can affect both your appearance and your oral function. You might be a candidate for Invisalign, which uses custom clear aligners to correct issues like crowding, gaps, crooked teeth, and malocclusions (bad bites).

The aligners have a discreet appearance, so you will be able to smile confidently in all of your summertime photos. They are also removable, allowing you to enjoy all of your favorite sunny weather treats, including grilled meats, corn on the cob, and other foods that can be challenging to consume with traditional metal braces.

Are your teeth ready for summer? The team at Sunrise Dental Service would love to help you achieve a beautiful and confident smile that lasts for years to come.
