Professional In-Office Teeth Whitening
Professional in-office teeth whitening at Aloe Dental Wellness is the ultimate key to achieving a brilliantly radiant smile with unmatched efficacy and safety. Unlike over-the-counter options, this procedure is supervised by Dr. Cadavid. She and her team can customize the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring a controlled and precise outcome.
The high-concentration whitening agents deliver dramatic results in a shorter time, eradicating stubborn stains and discoloration effectively. The process is not only faster but also minimizes the risk of sensitivity, a common concern with some at-home whitening kits. With in-office teeth whitening, you can confidently leave your Dr. Cadavid’s office with a dazzling smile that is several shades brighter, enhancing your overall appearance and boosting your self-assurance. Choose professional in-office teeth whitening for a safe, swift, and stunning transformation that only your oral health experts at Aloe Dental Wellness can provide.
Composite Resin vs. Porcelain Veneers
Composite resin veneers are crafted from a tooth-colored material made of a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. The application involves the direct layering and sculpting of the composite material onto the tooth surface. This process is not only quicker than porcelain veneers, but typically requires less tooth enamel removal. While composite resin veneers are generally more affordable than porcelain, they are not as stain-resistant and may need more maintenance over time.
Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are ultra-thin shells crafted from high-quality porcelain materials. The application involves a two-step process: first, a thin layer of enamel is removed from the tooth surface, and then custom-fitted porcelain veneers are bonded to the teeth. Porcelain veneers are known for their exceptional durability, stain resistance, and natural appearance. They are a popular choice for those seeking long-term aesthetic improvements with minimal maintenance.
The benefits of composite resin veneers include their affordability, quick application, and conservative tooth preparation. They are a suitable option for minor cosmetic issues. Porcelain veneers, however, offer superior durability, natural aesthetics, and resistance to stains, making them an ideal choice for comprehensive smile makeovers and addressing more significant cosmetic concerns. Aloe Dental Wellness is glad to offer both types of veneers. This way, patients can effectively improve the shape, color, and alignment of teeth, with personalized options based on their budget, preferences, and the extent of their cosmetic needs. If you’re curious about veneers, make an appointment and ask Dr. Cadavid which would be best for you.
Gingival Sculpting
For patients who want to address a “gummy” smile, gingival sculpting with a dental laser is an innovative and virtually painless procedure that transforms your smile with precision and efficiency. This advanced technique allows for the reshaping of the gum line, addressing issues like excessive gum tissue or uneven contours that may affect the overall aesthetics of your teeth. The dental laser ensures a minimally invasive experience, minimizing discomfort and promoting quicker healing compared to traditional methods. Gingival sculpting not only enhances the visual harmony of your smile but can also optimize oral health by creating a more accessible surface for effective cleaning and maintenance.
Complete Smile Makeover
If there are multiple issues with your smile that you’d like to address, speak to Dr. Cadavid about a smile makeover. This bespoke approach to cosmetic dentistry goes beyond a one-size-fits-all solution, ensuring that every aspect of your smile is considered and enhanced according to your individual features and preferences.
From teeth whitening and veneers to orthodontic treatments, a personalized smile makeover crafts a comprehensive plan that addresses your specific concerns, whether it be discoloration, misalignment, or imperfections. Aloe Dental Wellness also offers a number of restorative dental treatments, such as dental implants for missing teeth, and Invisalign for convenient orthodontic treatment with clear aligners.
