Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure to correct the appearance of chipped, broken, misaligned or severely stained teeth. High-quality porcelain veneers in Riverview, FL are carefully designed to match the sheen and translucency of your natural teeth for lifelike results. To bond the thin shells to the front surface of your teeth, our restoration dentist needs to remove a minimal amount of tooth enamel to ensure they lay flat and are perfectly aligned with your other teeth.

Our cosmetic dentist will help you decide whether traditional veneers or Lumineers are the best option to achieve desired results. Lumineers deliver a beautiful and completely reversible smile transformation with a simple, painless procedure that doesn’t require removal of any tooth enamel. After your initial smile design consultation, Dr. Byars takes impressions of your upper and lower teeth and sends them to the DenMat Lab in Lompoc, CA where highly skilled technicians fabricate them to exacting specifications.

Inlays and onlays are usually fabricated out of porcelain but can also be made from high-quality composite resin. Inlays and onlays are an option for repairing molars with mild to moderate decay or damage, as well as cracked or fractured teeth that don’t require a crown. The primary difference between inlays and onlays is that onlays are used to restore teeth that also have damaged cusps (raised points).

A crown or cap is a porcelain or zirconia restoration that covers the exposed surface of a tooth to strengthen it or improve its appearance. Crowns are an excellent option for large fillings that comprise most of the tooth structure, teeth treated with root canal therapy and stained or damaged teeth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with an artificial tooth or teeth fused to natural teeth with crowns on either side for support. Although bridges don’t preserve bone in the empty sockets like dental implants, they prevent shifting of adjacent teeth. Our on-site dental lab, milling machine and Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC®) technology enables our restoration dentist to offer same-day crowns and bridges in Riverview, FL.

Over a period of time, coffee, tea, cola, red wine, tobacco products or the natural aging process can cause tooth discoloration. Philips Zoom whitening relies on the powerful whitening duo of a special lamp and a concentrated hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel. When the peroxide encounters the intense light from the lamp, it breaks down, dissolves a thin layer over your tooth enamel and releases oxygen to help flush out and eliminate tooth discoloration. Zoom whitening brightens teeth by many shades in about an hour and it’s easy to touch up your smile at home with custom whitening trays with professional-grade gel.

Invisalign teeth aligners are clear, removable custom-fitted trays made of BPA-free plastic. The process is similar to traditional braces, without the unwieldy metal brackets and painful wires that require tightening. Instead, clear aligners move your teeth gradually and in a gentler manner along a more direct path to target positions. biggest perk is that Invisalign is a highly discreet and invisible solution, which means you no longer have to feel self-conscious and can smile ear to ear while your clear braces work wonders.
