What are veneers and who do they suit?
Veneers is a cosmetic procedure that basically changes the shape and color of your natural teeth. These are usually best for patients that have relatively good oral health, very few cavities, and come to their regular dental appointments. This would be the best treatment for that patient.
What are the options for whitening?
We offer several options for whitening. We have an in-office whitening system with Zoom, which I'm sure you've probably heard of. We also offer a take-home system as well.
What is a smile makeover, and what treatment does it involve?
A smile makeover is where we completely change the structure of the patient's mouth. It can include several different treatment options, from bridges to crowns to implants, and even dentures in some cases. A smile makeover is just what it says: we are completely making over your smile.
How do you choose the right cosmetic dentist?
The best way to choose a cosmetic dentist is to find somebody that you're comfortable with. I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to be comfortable with your provider. I know people have a tendency to shop around, but here at Turner Family Dental, I can assure you that you will receive high-quality treatment at an affordable price.
Tell me the difference between crowns and veneers.
The difference between crowns and veneers is the surface of the tooth that each structure will cover. Veneers usually cover just the outside of the tooth. We remove just a shell of the enamel and bond it to the outside of the tooth. A crown, on the other hand, covers more surfaces of the tooth. Typically, a crown will wrap all the way around the tooth and give that restoration a little bit more retention.
