Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry has become one of our specialties at Scott C. Earp DDS, DDS ICI PA and we have equipped our office with the latest in technology to provide all of the high-tech cosmetic dentistry procedures available today in a comfortable, friendly environment.
Crowns
A dental crown is one of the most common procedures people hear about in a dental office. A crown is a rather simple procedure to "cover" or "cap" a broken or decayed tooth. When a crown is cemented into place, it covers the entire tooth surface that is above the gum line. When effectively placed, this restoration could possibly last you a lifetime.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers, also called dental veneers, are thin shells of porcelain that cover the front side teeth to create a more cosmetic look for the teeth. Veneers are most commonly used to make cosmetic changes of teeth that are discolored, misaligned, chipped or thin. In many cases, these conditions are caused by accidents, genetics and illnesses which can cause you to lose self-esteem as well as sacrificing a beautiful smile. The technology of porcelain veneers has made it simple for us to give you the gorgeous smile you have always wanted.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a customized false tooth or set of teeth that is cemented permanently between two healthy teeth. This fills the space left by the missing tooth or teeth. This procedure allows patients to limit the shifting of the other teeth, correct bite problems and reduce the risk of gum disease.
Partials/Dentures
Partials and dentures are great alternatives for those people who are missing teeth but do not want to go through with bridges or implants. Partials are used to replace multiple missing teeth. There are two types of partials - acrylic and cast. Both are great appliances; cast partials are just longer lasting. Dentures are to replace an entire arch of teeth. Dentures are custom made to fit you perfectly, giving you a smile you will love.
Teeth Whitening
Many patients indulge in soda, coffee, wine and cigarettes, which can leave their teeth with stains that dull their smile. One of the most common questions patients continually ask is, "How can I get my teeth whiter?" The answer is simple: with teeth whitening or "bleaching trays." Whitening trays have become one of the most cost-effective ways for patients to get the brighter smiles that they desire without harmful effects to enamel like more aggressive technology. Whitening trays can be made by taking a simple impression of your teeth and making customized plastic trays for your teeth. With your customized trays, you will receive your whitening or "bleaching" gel to place in the trays. If you follow our instructions, you will have a beautiful white smile in a short period of time.
