Unlock Your Best Smile: Comprehensive Dental Services with Dr. Nhu Le

If you visit a pharmacy or your local big box discount store, you’ll see over-the-counter options for achieving a whiter smile. But are these treatments effective, and are they even safe? The short answer is that these one-size-fits-all whitening products are neither effective nor safe. With professional teeth whitening, you know your teeth and gums won’t be damaged. Only dentists can access prescription-strength whitening gels, and your results will last much longer. Equally important, when you visit your dentist to make your teeth whiter, you’ll receive a thorough exam to screen for other issues. 

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin pieces of porcelain that your dentist bonds to the front of your teeth. Veneers are custom-made for your unique smile and match the shape and color of your natural teeth. Veneers can camouflage any of these problems:

• Broken teeth.
• Discolored teeth.
• Chipped teeth.
• Misaligned teeth.
• Worn-down teeth.
• Gaps between teeth.

In most cases, dental insurance doesn’t cover cosmetic dentistry. However, most dental offices offer financing options that match your budget.

Restorative dentistry consists of dental procedures performed to replace or repair a tooth. Restorative procedures include root canals, cavity fillings, dentures, and dental implants. 

There are two primary types of dentures:

partial dentures and full dentures. Patients who have lost all or most of their teeth find full dentures an affordable solution. These removable dentures replace all of the teeth that are missing from the lower and upper jaws. Like complete dentures, partial dentures are removable. However, they work with your remaining healthy teeth. They’re similar to bridges, except that bridges are permanently fixed in place, while partial dentures are designed to be removed. 

General dentistry refers to preventing, treating, and diagnosing oral health conditions. It includes dental exams and checkups, teeth cleaning, tooth extractions, and more.
