The following is a list of procedures provided by Convenient Family Dentistry. For more information on these procedures please feel free to call us at (810) 744-3388.

ZOOM! (Tooth whitening)

The ZOOM! chairside whitening system is a safe, effective and fast way to brighten your teeth in a single office visit. The ZOOM! procedure is much more convenient than wearing trays or strips, making it a great choice for our busy patients. ZOOM! is done in the office during one visit of an hour or two. At your appointment we apply a gentle, hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel to your teeth. The gel is then exposed to a high-intensity light. After the treatment, your teeth will be up to 6-10 shades whiter. Dentist-supervised whitening is one of the safest and most conservative cosmetic dental treatments available. The most common side effect is an increased tooth sensitivity to cold for 1-3 days after treatment. We also offer professional-strength take-home bleaching trays for patients who want to "touch up" their treatment.

 

Cosmetic Bonding & Make overs

Cosmetic bonding is a procedure in which teeth are thoroughly cleaned and etched with phosphoric acid. The acid is then washed off the teeth leaving behind microscopic pores. Liquid plastic is then used to fill the pores, the liquid hardens and is then used as a base for white filling. After the tooth is filled and shaped the tooth is then polished and has a natural look.

 

Implant Restoration

Implant restoration is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Implants have become an alternative to conventional bridges and dentures. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. In this procedure a bio-compatible titanium post is inserted into the gums and a crown is connected to the post via a secured screw. Within a few moths the post attaches itself to the bone and the tooth is able to withstand biting and chewing.

 

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns are used to strengthen and improve the shape, size or color of teeth. They can support broken or weak teeth or those with large fillings; provide a smooth, strong, attractively contoured surface for stained, misshapen or otherwise abnormal teeth; and aid in the implantation of bridges and other implants.

Bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements which help maintain facial structure, reduce stress on the jaw and fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth. Fixed bridges are cemented to the existing teeth and do not come out. Removable bridges can be taken out and cleaned at home.

 

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are very thin, tooth-colored shells that are custom-fit and bonded to the front sides of teeth to close gaps, cover stains and discolorations, and correct chipped or misshapen teeth to give you a bright, even, attractive smile.

 

Full & Partial Dentures

Patients who have lost their natural teeth due to decay, periodontal disease or injury can suffer from related problems including further decay, difficulty eating and speaking, and drooping of facial muscles. Full and partial dentures replace the missing teeth both aesthetically and functionally, providing support and restoring the smile. Full (complete) dentures are used when all of the natural teeth have been lost, while partial dentures fill in the gaps between natural teeth. The gums, dentures and any remaining natural teeth will need to be cleaned regularly to prevent staining, sores and plaque build-up.
