Braces and Invisalign

For the younger crowd, there may not be a huge push for clear braces, as there is with adults. Teens often opt for traditional braces, as there are many braces colors that are fun and show off one's personality. For the adult who wants to straighten their teeth in the South Charlotte area, we typically receive requests for Invisalign cost.

Tooth Fillings

In our Charlotte offices, we see a fair amount of cavities. Cavities are really just tooth decay that develops when plaque damages the outer surface of the teeth, the enamel. It is very important to have cavities treated by a dentist right away, as they will only worsen if left untreated. Through regular check-ups with your South Charlotte dentist, you can stay on top of your oral care and receive treatment right away if a cavity is discovered. Treating cavities early may prevent extensive tooth damage that will require cosmetic dental surgery to fully correct.

For decades, there was one option for tooth fillings and that was amalgam. Amalgam is still widely used today, but there are other options as well. The components of Amalgam are elemental metals, and may include components of mercury, silver, tin, copper, and others. You may know Amalgam fillings as "silver fillings" and may also know them because of the controversy surrounding the exposure to mercury. It is important to know your options for fillings. Tooth decay can advance rapidly and you want to have cavities filled quickly. As a treatment for cavities, Amalgam has been deemed safe by the FDA and other organizations as it is thought that the other metals used in the compound stabilize the mercury and reduce risks.

Root Canal

Root canal is the term which describes the natural cavity within the center of the tooth. The pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area within the root canal. In the root canal is where a tooths nerve is. The nerve is not vitally important to the health of the tooth; it is only present to provide the sensation of hot or cold. Therefore, when root canal therapy is called for, there is very little downside to the procedure.

Crowns and Veneers

At our Charlotte offices we have seen an increase in the popularity of cosmetic dentistry and is now a familiar dental treatment around the world. This type of dentistry, which includes treatment with a dental crown, dental bridge, teeth whitening and other services, has become synonymous with confidence and radiance. Should you seek to improve the look of your smile through visiting a cosmetic dentist, North Carolina offices are here to serve you.

Your face is what shows your personality; what is shining through your heart and mind. Your smile is the avenue in which you project your happy feelings. When your smile is dull, it shows the signs of aging that you may not want the world to see. Many people with dull, chipped or crooked teeth will hide their smile and thus hide their warmth and personality from those they encounter. Needless to say, the stealing of confidence that comes from a yellow smile is great and lasting. Thankfully, our cosmetic dentists in South Charlotte can assist you with obtaining the bright, white, straight smile you deserve!
