When you are faced with dental trauma, our Mill Valley emergency dentists are here to help right away. Here are some of the treatments and technologies that we use to deliver results in a short period of time…
Composite Resin Bonding
Composite resin is a popular material in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, because it is so effective and convenient. This metal-free material is made from a mixture of ceramic and plastic compounds. When initially combined, this mixture takes the form of a soft and moldable paste. Once it is cured with a light, however, composite resin hardens and bonds to the tooth below it…
Composite resin bonding is used to:
- Repair or replace damaged enamel
- Lengthen disproportionately short teeth
- Improve bite surfaces, so your top and bottom teeth come together evenly
- Cover discolored or unsightly dental enamel
Porcelain Restorations
Porcelain is another tried and true material when it comes to repairing and enhancing your smile. Porcelain dental crowns are custom-crafted to rebuild missing tooth portions, while veneers are exceptionally thin slivers of porcelain that are used to cover and resurface natural enamel.
Patients and dentists love porcelain restorations because porcelain looks just like natural dental enamel. Plus, these restorations are sturdy enough to stand up to the wear and tear of daily life. Depending on the state of your smile and your treatment goals, it may take anywhere from one to three appointments to complete treatment with porcelain restorations.
Improving Gum Tissue
It may be helpful to think of your gum tissue as the frame or border of your smile. When portions of gum tissue are damaged, overgrown, or uneven, your smile as a whole can appear unbalanced. The good news is that it is simple for our dental team to refine this tissue and improve the appearance and functionality of your smile.
