Dentists work hard to ensure their patients have access to a selection of treatments that not only improve the appearance of their smiles but their oral health as well. Dr. Monti Harpalani of Houstons My Vivid Dental encourages patients to take the time to learn about the many ways in which they can achieve a beautiful appearance while ensuring their smile is free from periodontal disease and cavities. Below is a sample of the many family and cosmetic dental services provided through his state-of-the-art dental facility:
Many over-the-counter whitening products fall short of providing real results, which is why Dr. Monti Harpalani uses the KR whitening system to rejuvenate smiles with take-home whitening trays and prescription-strength bleaching gels.
Covering imperfections can be done simply with the placement of a porcelain veneer over the front of a tooth. Veneers look like natural enamel and cover issues including permanent staining, misshapen teeth, and breakage.
Replacing missing teeth can be done with the use of dental bridges, an alternative to implants or dentures. Dental bridges use the adjacent teeth for support of a porcelain restoration that includes false teeth and crowns for repair.
Gum disease can wreak havoc on the smile and cause a number of issues, so it is important to avoid its development. Early diagnosis is key to effective treatment, which is why patients are urged to visit their dentist every six months for an examination
