Veneers

If you’re just not sure where to start with your cosmetic treatment, porcelain veneers may be an excellent way to deal with all of your problems at once! Each veneer is made out of beautiful porcelain that has been shaded in a way that seamlessly blends in with the rest of your teeth. We simply attach the veneers over the teeth in question, and just like that, numerous flaws simply disappear, leaving only a brilliant, natural-looking tooth.

Lumineers

As you might have guessed from the name, Lumineers are similar to veneers. The main difference is that Lumineers are much thinner. Because of this, they can usually be attached to the teeth right away; there’s no need for us to remove natural enamel first. Not only does this simplify the process, but it also means the tooth itself is kept fully intact. You can even have the Lumineers removed in the future if you want to.

Metal-Free Crowns

Crowns can be made of metal, but if you want to correct aesthetic damage in addition to restoring your oral health, you’ll want to look into getting a metal-free ceramic crown instead. The ceramic material not only looks great, but it feels much more comfortable in your mouth, and it can last for many years. This type of crown is especially beneficial for those who suffer from some type of allergy or sensitivity to metal.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding, or direct bonding as it’s sometimes called, is proof that the smallest changes can make the biggest difference. A little bit of composite resin is used to conceal chips, cracks, stains and gaps. Unlike veneers, cosmetic bonding can be completed in just one visit and doesn’t involve making permanent changes to the enamel. For those who only have a few flaws to worry about, we may recommend bonding as a quick, yet effective, solution.

ZOOM!® Teeth Whitening

When teeth have been discolored by beverages, tobacco, or old age, the ZOOM! in-office whitening procedure can be used to get rid of the stain particles hiding beneath the enamel. This leaves the teeth several shades brighter – and all over the course of one short dental visit! For those who want to enjoy the benefits of professional whitening but would rather have the process done at home, you can ask us about our take-home kits.

Gum Recontouring

How much thought do you give your gums when you smile? Ideally, the answer should be “not much”, but there are cases where there’s so much gum tissue in the mouth that the teeth end up looking smaller or unevenly sized as a result. Dr. Hegazi can carefully remove the unneeded tissue and reveal more of your natural teeth to restore balance to your grin. Don’t let a naturally “gummy smile” stop you from making a good first impression!

Virtual Smile Design

Do you want to know what your smile will look like after getting veneers or having whitening done? With our virtual smile design software, it’s a simple matter to modify existing pictures of your teeth in order to give you a “preview” of what you can expect from your cosmetic treatment. We hope that this helps simplify the decision-making process for you. If you’d like, you can even show your friends and family members pictures of your potential future smile to get their feedback.
