By Arthur Kezian

Dental offices are experiencing a wave of lava crowns today. These are the latest type of dental veneers that one can change your smile completely for the better. These are the types of veneers city is taking on today.
These veneers are made of porcelain that can make you feel that you have natural teeth but they are better, stronger and whiter. Hence, these veneers are now very popular and are known as being the most natural dental veneers.

The product
These veneers are only 0.5 millimeters thick; they are small but can impact your appearance greatly. Porcelain dental veneers are used widely today to enhance the teeth’s position, shape, size and their color; you get beautiful and brighter smiles immediately.
It only takes about a week to get the veneer procedure completed. A small 0.5 millimeter is shaved off your teeth to cater for the veneers which feel like your natural teeth without feeling too thick.

The process
It is painless unless you have sensitive teeth. When your veneers are waxed and crafted by the dental lab, they are ready to be put on. Some lightweight dental cement is used to stick the veneers onto your teeth with a special light beam to harden the cement for a permanent positioning. Hence, there is no reversal to this procedure.
The strong cement keeps all bacteria at bay which eases your fear of tooth decay under your dental veneers.

Veneer care
As these are costly treatments, you would want to do your best to take care of your veneers. Avoid biting ice or fingernails; floss them regularly with good brushing. Adopt a good oral hygiene at home as well as regularly visiting your dentist for checkups and cleanings.

They not only make you look great with even perfect teeth, they are permanent with their perfectness. They cover all gaps in your teeth and hide any tooth that is chipped or broken. Crooked teeth can look straight and colored teeth are brightened up.
The procedure takes only a week from start to finish; from removal of a thin film off your teeth to waxing and crafting before applying your veneers.
They feel very natural without any extra thickness. There is no pronounced difference that is visible or noticeable by any person. This procedure need not be performed on every tooth. You only need to treat those teeth that are considered problematic.
The procedure of a dental veneer should not be too costly that it becomes unaffordable. A single problematic tooth can consider a single veneer.  It will not stand out like a sore thumb. Consult your cosmetic dentist for the best treatment.
When you have veneers, you must take care of them properly as there is no repair works. A broken veneer must be replaced with a totally new one. Hence, be careful what you bite with your veneers so that they do not chip or break.

The Role of Emergency Dentists

By Arthur Kezian
It can be quite stressful when your tooth hurts like crazy after office hours or during the weekends when dental service is not available. An emergency dentist is often a welcome sight if he/she is willing to take the extra mile for a desperate patient.
Urgent dental care can help fix problems which include a strong negative impact on the mouth, teeth or gum. Chipped or broken teeth, bleeding gums or knocked out teeth may want to be attended to quickly. There must be some emergency dentists who are willing to make house calls or open up for these stressful moments.
Classification of Dental Emergencies
Tooth aches
Some tooth pain is so severe that no painkiller can ease it. It could be caused by a broken tooth, a new cavity or an old filling decay. Other reasons include damage from excessive grinding on the tooth. The only solution is to consult the dentist immediately while taking some temporary painkillers.
B1
Sore/swollen gums
These are caused by plaque or gum disease infection; it could also be caused by food stuck between your teeth. Gentle brushing or flossing may ease the pain as you try to dislodge the pieces stuck while rinsing with warm water with salt. If that simple treatment does not ease the pain, call the emergency dentists.
Broken tooth
A broken tooth happens from accidental falls, fighting, sports-related injuries, car accidents or biting hard food. When cavities are old and weak, broken tooth can occur causing chipping or even fractures. Large broken portions can be very painful caused by internal damage and exposed nerves.  
B2
Lost crown
A dropped crown warrants attention. Meanwhile, you can apply some dabs of clove oil onto your tooth’s sensitive area to ease the pain. The dentist may use a coat of dental cement to stick your crown back into secure position.
Salvaging knocked out tooth
If you have your tooth knocked out for any reason, you should get to an emergency dentist immediately to save the tooth. A knocked out tooth means that it is avulsed which can be re-implanted if it were handled by a professional emergency dentist within an hour.
Salvaging a broken tooth
An emergency dental visit with a dentist can assist in advising you if the broken tooth can be repaired looking at the cavities and nerves. You can save all the broken pieces and put a cold icepack to your lips or cheeks to reduce swelling or pain.
 A clean break can be re-cemented; otherwise a root canal is required to save the tooth nerve.

Salvaging fractured or cracked tooth
These are difficult to be detected as they are not visible in x-rays and they seldom cause pain. Extreme pain happens when the crack or fracture is very severe or outside irritants have entered. You will feel the pain upon eating hot or cold stuff which is a warning on nerve damage.
Emergency dental work does occur, but there is an emergency dentist who is available to assist you. Do your best to stay calm and apply the simple measures you can while waiting for the emergency dentist’s instructions or service.
If you are active in sports, wearing a mouth guard will lessen the possibilities of mouth or teeth injuries.

Teeth Whitening - A Simple But Effective Way to Restore the Natural Good Looks of Your Teeth

By Arthur Kezian

Teeth whitening treatment are an effective way of removing stubborn stains and improving the way your teeth looks. They are of course the most effective way to improve your smile.
Staining of the teeth is caused by a number of factors. While age is a natural teeth darkener because of years of accumulation of stains that build up on the teeth it is also important to know that your teeth are genetically predisposed to a certain color range.

Your natural teeth color will deepen with time. Teeth that are thin and translucent are the ones on which stains show up more prominently. With the passage of time these stains become more obvious. Thicker teeth respond much better to teeth whitening procedures.

There are many other reasons for staining of the teeth including regular use of certain types of food and drinks, medications, teeth grinding and trauma to the teeth. Teeth whitening can be carried out in many ways. Quick whitening procedures employed at the office include using a high concentration of peroxide gel which is applied to the teeth directly for whiter teeth. Care is taken to protect the gums so that they are not affected by the gel during the teeth whitening process.

While teeth having stubborn stains may require a second visit, excellent results are usually achieved during a one hour teeth whitening session at the best dental clinic. Dentists may also give patients a teeth whitening kit for use at home. This kit consists of bleaching trays and low concentration of peroxide gels that remain on the teeth for one hour at least. Sometimes the trays need to be left on the teeth overnight.

Teeth bleaching products when used properly can change the color of your teeth anywhere from five to seven shades. In some instances, it is even possible to make the teeth brighter by twelve shades.
It is important to get your teeth evaluated by expert cosmetic dentists because not everyone is an ideal candidate for bleaching. In some cases where the teeth is discolored extensively or pitted, it is better to go in for veneers because bleaching may not work and may in fact cause further damage to the color of your teeth. Moreover, patients who have crowns, bridges and fillings cannot get a comprehensive bleaching.

Teeth whitening may appear to be a simple dental process but when done by experienced dentists can make a huge difference to the looks and quality of your teeth. Approaching the right dentist is crucial for best results.

Dental offices additionally strive to keep you healthy by emphasizing preventive dental care and treating smaller problems before they become serious ones. Dr. Arthur Kezian specializes in cosmetic, general, surgical, and implant dentistry.
