Typically veneers are difficult to stain, making veneers a very popular solution for many people seeking that perfect smile. Strong and very durable, veneers last from ten to fifteen years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth without the worry of them changing color. Veneers are typically done in only two one and a half hour long appointments, and can actually strengthen your tooth.

In many situations, dental implants can give back patients their confident smile.  The benefits are improved esthetics, the ability to eat comfortably and a clean, healthy oral environment for the patient.

Dental Implants are small prosthetic posts that are placed into the bone of the upper or lower jaw.  They act as replacements for the root portion of lost natural teeth and also serve as an anchor for replacement teeth.  Dental implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth -- in fact, no-one  will be able to tell the difference.  Dental implants are appropriate for almost anyone who is currently missing teeth or is at risk of losing teeth.

Before	After

There are many different types of dental implants available.  Our dentists have extensive experience in dental implants and would be pleased to discuss the benefits of implant prosthetics with you.  Ask about implant restorative treatment at the time of your consultation.

What are Dental Implants?
The implants themselves are titanium cylinders which are inserted into the jawbone where teeth are missing and act as tooth root substitutes.  They are surgically placed into the jawbone.  The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.  Small posts are then attached to the implant which protrude through the gums.  These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.  Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

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. Bridges may be made of porcelain, gold, alloys or a combination of these. Removable bridges can be taken out and cleaned at home, while fixed bridges are implanted in the jaw and bonded to the teeth with crowns or caps and cannot be removed.

Root canals can prevent tooth decay and loss when the pulp (soft core of the tooth that provides nutrients) is damaged due to bacterial infection in a deep cavity, crack or other problem. Despite its reputation as a painful ordeal, a root canal is actually not very uncomfortable. During the procedure, the damaged pulp is removed, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off, and a crown is bonded to the tooth (sometimes a temporary filling is placed first) to maintain strength.

Education and prevention are the cornerstones for the dental health of children.  Early detection of problems as well as a comprehensive prevention program can help your child maintain a healthy smile for a lifetime and help prevent the need for extensive, costly dental treatment.

In addition to teaching parents about dental care for their child, checkups are an appropriate time to comfortably and easily evaluate:

For most fillings on back teeth we use a natural looking, cosmetic resin.  This is a strong, plastic material that is easy to apply and difficult to detect.  This material produces a long lasting, natural looking filling.

When the size of a cavity is too large for this material, we are then able to use ceramic, tooth colored partial crowns called onlays.  These onlays are made in 2 visits to the office and are also a durable, cosmetic solution.

Invisalign® is a remarkable system of  invisible aligners that help straighten teeth comfortably without metal bands, brackets or wires. The pieces are easily removable so you can eat, drink, brush and floss. Best of all, no one will know you’re wearing Invisalign aligners unless you tell them.

Now you can enjoy the smile you have always wanted without the annoyance of metal in your mouth. No huge brackets darkening your smile. No irritated lips or cheeks. No worries about mouth injury while playing sports.

Invisalign can eliminate crowding or large spaces between your teeth. Even complex cases such as overbites, underbites and crossbites can be treated.

Typically, Invisalign cases take about a year from start to finish. You will see Dr. Brigati and staff every 6-8 weeks to review your progress. You will receive additional aligners every few visits. Treatment time and the number of aligners you receive will vary case by case.

How do I begin?

1. Make an appointment with Dr. Brigati and staff. During your visit you can decide on your course of treatment. Impressions of your bite will be made and sent to Invisalign for processing.
2. Your aligners will be made using advanced 3-D computer imaging. Your bite impressions are used to construct a custom-made series of clear and removable aligners.
3. You will receive your aligners.
4. You will wear your aligners day and night, according to Dr. Brigat's instructions. They will only be removed to eat, drink, brush and floss.

We are now providing oral cancer screenings for our patients using the ViziLite System. Oral cancer, when detected early is one of the most curable diseases. This is why Dr. Brigati recommends an annual ViziLite exam in combination with a conventional visual examination. ViziLite uses technology that has been proven successful in identifying precancerous and cancerous abnormalities.

It is oral lesion identification and marking system. It helps Dr. Brigati examine oral lesions at their earliest stages of development. When premalignant lesions or early stage cancer is found, treatment is simpler, less invasive and more than 90% successful. Patients that are from age 18 or older that are sexually active, tobacco users and alcohol users, or have a history of oral cancer are at risk and would benefit from this test.

Please ask Dr. Brigati and her team about this wonderful new way to detect oral cancer in your mouth.
