You will have several options to consider for your dental cosmetic treatment:

• Dental Implants:

Before the development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing missing teeth or a tooth. Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the original tooth. The artificial tooth is anchored to the jawbone as a foundation for the new tooth crown, permanent bridge or to attach dentures. Dr. Morrissey will test your jawbone density, to establish if you are a good candidate.

• Veneers:

These are thin pieces of dental porcelain cemented over the front of your teeth. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or chipped, discolored, oddly shaped and crooked teeth. Several steps are performed before cementing the veneer in place.

• Snap-On-Smile:

This is a new hi-tech dental appliance that fits directly over your natural teeth. The result is an instant new white smile. This treatment is essentially a bonded veneer. You can eat and drink with this dental device. The care is easy; can be temporary or long-term; and available for upper and lower teeth.

Also, consider dental cleaning as part of your treatment plan. So don’t delay and get that smile back. Call Village Dental of Wilsonville in Wilsonville, OR for an appointment today at (503) 582-8255 and learn which dental cosmetic procedure is right for you.
