Ensuring healthy teeth for everyone in the family can be a tough job when all of them use different dentists. For instance, many parents like to take children to the specialist even though most of the techniques these specialists use are the same as those used by all Family Dentistry Services in Garden City, NY. Plus, bringing everyone to the same office makes it easier to know what to expect when it comes time for routine appointments such as oral checkups or teeth cleaning. These two processes are important for healthy teeth and gum tissue and for catching cavities before they become a problem.
As children get older, It is important that they have a great impression of themselves. One way to boost their self-esteem is to invest in cosmetic dentistry. Procedures in this line include dental whitening, the application of veneers, bonding and shaping teeth and the installation of caps and crowns. Although not officially in the cosmetic category, options are available like bridges and implants to handle problems such as missing teeth. In some cases, one process may not provide the results the dentist intended and an alternative will be required. Case in point, dental whitening. This procedure works great on natural teeth, but if the teeth have been bonded, filled or use a crown the color results may vary. This is often known as the rainbow effect.
Out of the many procedures that family dentistry services in Garden City, NY can provide, veneers may be the best for overall functionality. Veneers can be used to cover blemishes on the teeth, severe stains, crooked teeth or uneven teeth. Plus, a veneer can cover small gaps between the teeth leaving a nice even smile. For veneers to work properly, the dentist requires a material with a specific look. Porcelain fits this bill and it is extremely durable. The latter is important because the veneer is securely attached to the teeth and cannot be removed while eating. This means the veneer must be able to handle some tough pressure while biting into food. If it’s time for a new family dentist then contact us for more details.
