About

Teeth Whitening

Why Teeth Whitening?
The bright white of your teeth can change due to several factors. Food, drink, tobacco use, age, and even some medications can cause your teeth to become yellowed over time and cause a loss of original whiteness to your teeth. Teeth whitening is a simple process whereby whiteners are used to break stains into smaller pieces so that they aren’t as noticeable. We use peroxide bleach gel which is refrigerated to prevent breakdown and give the best clean for the brightest smile possible.

Do you need it?
If you find you’re smiling less because you’re self-conscious about the color of your teeth then you may want to think about a tooth whitening system. Perhaps you recently quit smoking and you want to remove all remnants of that habit a tooth whitening can help you move on. Overuse of teeth whiteners can cause sensitivity to the teeth and gums and even some damage if the whitener is used for too long. We’ll help you choose the treatment that’s best for you.
Our Advanced Technology

Teeth Whitening Systems

We use a whitening gel that is refrigerated from creation to application. This advanced technology allows for optimum whitening because the whitening agent does not break down. We can work in-office or send you home with a whitening kit.
If you don’t have time to spend in our office we can send you home with a pre-packed whitening kit and instructions.
Look for a toothpaste that has the ADA seal of approval They will get rid of stains and give you a nice polish as well. They are also safe for extensive use.
These products, such as pastes or strips, have a lower concentration of bleach than you’ll find in our offices. Again, look for the ADA seal of approval.
This involves using a specific frequency of light to whiten teeth. It is not recommended as, like getting a sunburn, UV light can damage your teeth.

Crowns

Used for restorative and cosmetic purposes, a crown can help an ailing tooth regain strength and integrity while also returning its natural beauty. We approach crowns with a level of precision and skill rarely seen in the industry.

A crown will give good support to a tooth damaged by decay
If a tooth is worn away or starting to wear, a crown will offer protection against further decay.
If the tooth is severely cracked or broken, a crown will hold the tooth together, preventing more destruction.
A crown can improve the appearance of a tooth by changing its shape or even the color of the tooth.
About

Bridges

What is it?

A dental bridge will, quite literally, bridge the gap where a tooth or teeth are missing. Using the teeth on either side of the gap we anchor a pontic, a false tooth, in the opening bridging the gap.

dentist explaining bridge procedure to patient
WHAT DOES IT DO?

When a tooth or teeth are missing the jawline can look aged, your bite can be affected and your smile can look off. Teeth can become crooked moving toward the gap and decay can result from teeth shifting.

Do you need it?

If you’re having trouble chewing properly or speaking clearly, that may be the result of missing teeth and a bridge will help. If you’re shy about your smile due to missing teeth a bridge will help that as well.

Our Advanced Technology

Bridges

Missing teeth can cause the face to sag, the lips to flatten, look thin and lead to decay and pain. A bridge is a treatment option to fill in gaps and avoid further problems with your teeth and gums.

Gaps from missing teeth can make you self conscious about your smile. Lose the gap, take your smile back and regain confidence with a bridge.
Missing teeth can change the shape of your face, add age. Jowls can form, your lips can thin and flatten. A bridge prevents all of that.
Teeth can drift toward the gaps left by missing teeth, making your smile less attractive. A bridge keeps your teeth where they should be.
When teeth are missing the force of your bite can be unevenly distributed. A bridge fills in gaps and allows the bite force to cover all the teeth in an even fashion.
About

Botox & Filler

What is Botox?

Botox is most commonly used for the reduction of wrinkles, however, it has many therapeutic properties. Botox can be used for muscle relief therapy, TMJ disorders and relieving migraine headaches. When responsibly used by trained doctors, its neurotoxic effects can be harnessed therapeutically by temporarily blocking the nerve stimulation to specific muscle fibers. Backed by 15 years of clinical studies, Botox has been shown to prevent up to 9 headache days per month and is proven to reduce symptoms of TMD as well.

WHAT ARE FILLERS?

Fillers are products such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite, that add fullness to parts of the face and reduce the look of wrinkles. Usually, these injectable fillers can be applied in a single visit and they can last up to six months at a time depending on location. Fillers can be used to add plumpness to lips that appear thin and flat. They can also relax the wrinkles and soften the worried look that can come from lines between the brows.

Our Advanced Technology

Botox & Filler

Both Botox & Fillers can be used for cosmetic as well as therapeutic purposes. Relaxing migraines, smoothing wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead or plumping lips, when administered by trained professionals, the results are lasting and beautiful.

Muscle movement can cause wrinkles. These are known as dynamic wrinkles or sometimes “expression lines”. Botox only works on these types of wrinkles.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons considers Botox to be safe. There are some minor side effects but most of these are only temporary.
Calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a mineral-like compound found in bones. Hyaluronic acid, which is found in some fluids and tissues in the body, Polylactic acid, which stimulates the skin to make more collagen, Polyalkylimide, a transparent gel that is compatible with the body.
There are, however, most cosmetic specialists suggest temporary fillers as permanent ones cannot adjust to the changes in bone structure and skin that occur with the aging process and end up looking very bad.

Invisalign

DO YOU NEED THEM?

Those who have crowded teeth, gaps that need to be closed or help to reduce a gummy smile. These are not the best option for more complex cases but they will correct many smile defects.

ARE THEY EFFECTIVE?

Invisalign has advantages over metal braces; they are more comfortable, fewer risks to teeth and gums, they are virtually invisible so there are no self-confidence issues and they create a beautiful smile quicker.

Our Advanced Technology

Invisalign

The Invisalign clear aligners look better than the usual metal brackets, wires, and rubber bands. Because they are virtually invisible they are perfect for adults, who don’t need to look like teenagers and kids as well.

The trays are removable so that means you’re not limited in what you can eat or what activities you can partake in.
Cleaning around traditional braces can be difficult. Because the Invisalign can be removed, you can easily brush and floss as usual.
Unlike traditional braces, there are no wires to break and cut the gums and there is no pain from sharp brackets and harsh tightening.
The Invisalign system does cost more than traditional braces but most agree it’s worth the cost. You achieve your optimal smile quicker, easier and there is no embarrassment of a “metal mouth” while your smile comes in.

Bonding

up close of patients mouth with a chipped tooth
What is it?

Bonding or dental bonding is a precise technique where white, tooth-colored composite filling material is used to fill or repair minor defects in teeth. Bonding is used for improving the aesthetic appeal of your smile. Fill in a gap between teeth or slight lengthening of teeth for an enhanced look. Applying bonding requires precision and attention to detail and that’s where we at Areté shine as bright as your smile. Detail, experience, and care all go into making your bonding experience the best possible.

Do you need it?

Basically, there are two groups that are good candidates for dental bonding. Those who are looking for restoration; fillings, repairs of chips, cracks or breaks and those who are in need of cosmetic help. This would include no-prep veneers, small gaps between teeth or an oddly shaped tooth. The bonding material can be applied to the teeth to fix dark or white spots. Also, if you have a small, old mercury filling, composite binding is a perfect replacement or for repairing an otherwise healthy tooth.

Bonding

Bonding works to improve the appearance of teeth, change the shape, sharpen the color and generally make your smile brighter and more attractive. We believe that achieving your perfect smile will give you confidence and improve your self-esteem.

Bonding can improve the shape of a tooth which will add to the betterment of your entire smile.
Bonding comes in a variety of colors so you can brighten your smile, cover white or dark spots and make you want to smile more.
With proper care, bonding can last for years, without any need for touch-ups. Which, in many cases, means your bonding lasts longer than bleaching or most other whitening regimes.
If you compare dental bonding to other cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers, you’ll find bonding costs less.

Gum Lift

What is it?

A gingivectomy, or “gum lift” is a simple surgical procedure that removes any excessive soft tissue from around the gum line. Underneath this excessive tissue is your natural tooth. The procedure is quick, safe and effective with lasting results.

How is it done?

With our advanced soft tissue surgical technology, the procedure is relatively painless. We use a Radiosurge electrosurgery unit that is specifically designed for delicate and intricate soft tissue removal and management. No scalpels or harsh cutting is involved.

dentist explaining gum lift to patient
Who would benefit?

Anyone with excessive soft tissue build-up or someone whose teeth inadequately erupted from the gums when they were growing up. In either case, a “gummy smile” is easily rectified with this procedure. The procedure gives you a much clearer smile.

Our Advanced Technology

Gum Lift

A gingivectomy raises the gum line, resulting in a balancing of the tooth to gum ratio for a fuller, brighter smile. This can build self-confidence giving you a boost in your self-esteem. Never underestimate the power of a beautiful smile.

If you have too much gum covering your teeth the results of a gum lift will be immediately noticeable and there is no lengthy healing time.
The results of a gum lift are permanent. Because the soft tissue is removed, there’s no need to repeat the process once it’s been done. Your post gum lift smile will remain.
The procedure is purely cosmetic. Although we do use it to remove hollows that could harbor bacteria, it is not a cure for gum disease. That is best confronted with a strong oral hygiene regimen.
In the past, this procedure could only be done with a scalpel, now, with our advanced Radiosurge technology, there is no cutting so there is no pain.
