Tooth Bleaching and Whitening

As we age, teeth can gradually become darker. This alteration is due to changes in their mineral structure, stains by bacterial pigments, food and drink colors, tobacco, and even certain antibiotics. Dr. Nicolas A. Ravon offers the very latest in cosmetic dentistry services with both at-home and in-office tooth whitening treatments, including Zoom! Teeth Whitening. through our office, you can enjoy a nice white smile for years to come.

Internal Tooth Bleaching

As the name implies, internal bleaching corrects tooth discoloration from the inside out. Internal staining of dentine can discolor the teeth from the inside out. Causes include illness during tooth formation, excess fluoride, incorrect root canal treatment, or the use of certain antibiotics. The result of this cosmetic dentistry is a healthy-looking, naturally white smile from the inside out.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers can be used to improve the color, shape, size, and alignment of your teeth. Whether you have a single tooth that is discolored or small, a gap between two teeth, a damaged tooth, or want to remake your entire smile, porcelain veneers can help.

In the porcelain veneer process, a thin shell of advanced ceramic material is applied to the front and/or top of your teeth, replacing the visible surface of your tooth. The new material is stain resistant, has the luster of natural tooth enamel, is highly durable, and is permanently bonded to the front of your tooth. Porcelain veneers can be expected to last 10 years or more with proper care.

Composite-Resin Bonding

Bonding is an ideal treatment for smaller corrections such as minor decay, chips, cracks, color improvement, or filling gaps between teeth.

This cosmetic dentistry approach provides a far more aesthetically pleasing alternative to metal fillings of the past, composite resins look and feel like natural tooth material.

Reconstructive Dentistry

Whether the result of an accident or heredity, when damage to a tooth or teeth is extensive, Nicolas A. Ravon, DDS, MSD has the cosmetic dentistry that can help you begin again. Through reconstructive dentistry, you can have a healthy, beautiful, correct, and functionally perfect new smile. We offer multiple different treatment options and will work with you to determine the best and most affordable choice for you.

Dental Implants

When the replacement of a tooth or teeth is needed, dental implants are the most natural and durable option.

Like the root of a natural tooth, an implant is anchored into the surrounding bone. It can then be used to support various prostheses options such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. The end result is a natural-looking smile and a tooth replacement that is undetectable and easy to live with.

Crown Lengthening for Functional and Cosmetic Dentistry

  • Cosmetic – Are you unhappy with the appearance of short teeth in your smile? Crown lengthening is a cosmetic dentistry method that can be accomplished by recontouring gum tissue or building up your teeth with porcelain veneers or dental crowns, depending on the cause of your shortened teeth.
  • Functional – Functional crown lengthening is used if you don’t have enough natural tooth crowns to support a dental implant or bridge. This may be due to naturally small teeth, trauma to the tooth, decay, or poor dental restoration. Our crown lengthening procedure means you can get a reconstruction of the tooth in question despite its shortness.

Tooth Reshaping

If you have chipped, cracked or irregularly shaped teeth, tooth reshaping (also known as dental contouring) can be a quick, simple, and painless way to improve your smile through cosmetic dentistry.

It is best used where subtle changes are required, or in conjunction with veneers or bonding. It is commonly used to alter the length, shape, or position of your teeth and in certain circumstances can even serve as a substitute for orthodontic treatments.

Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontics is the treatment of improper bites. These dysfunctional bites are usually the result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. We can provide an appropriate treatment option for both purely aesthetic reasons and purely functional reasons.
