Non-metal Fillings
If your teeth are filled with dark metal amalgam fillings, your smile is aging your appearance. Your discolored teeth may also cause embarrassment. Of the most concern, however, is the fact that metal fillings can also damage teeth. Amalgams expand with heat and contract with cold. This movement weakens the tooth wall, leading to fractures and allowing bacteria to enter and cause decay. Amalgam fillings contain mercury that may have negative long-term health effects. Tooth-colored composite fillings are a safer, stronger, more attractive and more enduring alternative to metal. They conservatively restore your teeth to strength and your smile to beauty.
Inlays and Onlays
Dr. Flamer cares about your health and offers only metal-free dentistry with beautiful and healthy porcelain inlays and onlays. Dr. Flamer uses inlays and onlays in place of traditional metal fillings that can shift or crack, leaving you vulnerable to bacteria and further decay. Inlays and onlays are a more conservative treatment, because less tooth material is removed. Unlike fillings, these procedures strengthen the structure of a tooth and leave your smile whiter and healthier than ever before.
Gum Contouring
Healthy and even gum lines are an essential part of any beautiful smile. Attractive gums make your smile look healthier and more attractive by framing and complementing your teeth. Red and swollen gums can detract from your smile. Your teeth may look too small or too short because of the disproportionate size relationship between your teeth and gums. If you suffer from either of these issues, then gum contouring may be the solution for you. Gum contouring can give you the consistent, even gumline you need for a healthy and attractive smile.
Teeth Whitening
If you are unhappy with the dull, yellowish shade of your teeth, consider teeth whitening as the perfect solution! Teeth whitening is safe, effective, and an efficient way to dramatically improve your overall appearance. Dr. Flamer can help you choose the most effective and convenient method of whitening for you. We offer ZOOM In-Office Whitening, as well as take-home kits. These processes can actually make your natural tooth color between seven and twelve shades brighter than it is right now! You too can have the bright, white Hollywood smile that you've always dreamed about!
