Painless & GentleThe Zoom WhiteSpeed procedure uses a blue LED light and hydrogen peroxide gel to gently and safely break up stains and discoloration on your teeth. This LED light also can be adjusted in intensity and duration to match your comfort level during the procedure. No harsh chemicals, no fussy strips.
1: PrepareYour dentist applies a thin layer of hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth, which reacts with the Zoom LED light to brighten your teeth. A protective coating is also applied over your gumline to shield your gumline from the blue LED light.
Not only are dull teeth going to keep a patient from smiling, it could also be an indicator that more serious health issues are taking place that may need to be addressed. Over time, material that lingers on ones teeth due to a diet or other habits will begin to erode the outer layers of enamel. This can mean serious health issues as well as an unsightly smile, but there are solutions out there. With some of the most advanced tools and techniques currently available today, our team can quickly restore your smile using Zoom or other common whitening procedures.
Invisalign is a teeth straightening technique that doesnt involve any annoying metal wires, bands or brackets. Invisalign incorporates the use of clear, removable aligners that lead the teeth into the desired locations over time.
The Invisalign process is straightforward and convenient. Patients will have multiple sets of Invisalign trays, wearing each set for roughly two weeks. The trays are easily removable when brushing, flossing, eating and drinking. This entire process is designed to slowly and surely move teeth into the right positions within the mouth.
If youre frustrated with crookedness, an underbite, overbite or overcrowding in your teeth, then you dont have to feel dissatisfied with your less than perfect smile for much longer. You dont even have to commit to conspicuous metal braces.
If you want all of the perks of correcting your smile without having to endure any of the discomfort of brackets and wires, then Invisalign might be exactly what you need in your life. (And your mouth!)
Invisalign treatment typically lasts for anywhere between 9 and 15 months, depending on the patients personal requirements. Invisalign patients have routine checkups during the course of treatment to ensure progress.
Eissens Dentistry is a proud owner of the iTero Element digital impression system using 3D scan technology and high-resolution imaging to accurately visualize your smile for your Invisalign treatment.
A crown is a cap that is installed on top of a damaged tooth. It is made out of porcelain, and it is designed to closely match the appearance of a persons natural tooth in order to make the capped tooth nearly indistinguishable from the teeth around it.
It is very important for a tooth that is damaged to have a crown applied because it can allow that damaged tooth to avoid having to be removed. A crown is essentially a way of improving the structural stability of the tooth by providing an additional level of support. It is also a way to protect the tooth from being damaged any further by trauma or by bacterial invasion.
Other types of teeth that could use a crown application are teeth that have a large cavity in them which could let in bacteria and make it weaker, teeth that are very weak and need extra support, and teeth with a large existing restorations.
A bridge will be created on a patient-by-patient basis to ensure that a close match between the bridge and the teeth of the patient is achieved. We design our bridges specifically to blend with your natural smile.
