Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening at an oral and maxillofacial surgery office involves professional-grade bleaching agents to brighten your smile. Here's what it entails:

• Examination: Your oral surgeon will examine your teeth and gums to ensure they're healthy enough for whitening and discuss your desired shade.
• Preparation: Your gums and lips will be protected, and a retractor may be used to keep your teeth exposed.
• Whitening gel application: A powerful whitening gel containing peroxide is applied to your teeth.
• Activation (optional): Some offices use a special light or laser to activate the gel and accelerate the whitening process.
• Multiple applications (if needed): The gel may be applied multiple times in one session, depending on the desired level of whitening.
• Post-whitening care: You'll receive instructions on how to care for your teeth after the procedure, including avoiding certain foods and drinks that can cause staining.

Why choose professional whitening?

• Stronger whitening agents: Oral surgeons have access to stronger bleaching agents than those available over-the-counter, resulting in faster and more dramatic results.
• Customized treatment: The procedure is tailored to your individual needs and desired level of whitening.
• Safe and effective: Professional whitening is performed under the supervision of a trained oral surgeon, minimizing the risk of complications and ensuring safe and effective results.
• Long-lasting results: With proper care, professional whitening can last for several months or even years.

Who might want this procedure?

• Patients with stained or discolored teeth from age, smoking, food, or drinks.
• Those seeking a brighter smile for a special occasion or to boost their confidence.
• Individuals who want a safe and effective alternative to over-the-counter whitening products.

While teeth whitening can significantly improve the appearance of your smile, it's essential to consult with an oral surgeon to determine if it's the right option for you. They can assess your oral health and recommend the best course of treatment to achieve your desired results.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are indirect restorations used to repair moderately damaged or decayed teeth. They are considered a more conservative alternative to dental crowns because they preserve more of the natural tooth structure.

• Inlays: are similar to fillings and are used to repair the chewing surface within the cusps (raised points) of a tooth.
• Onlays: are more extensive and cover one or more cusps, acting as a partial crown.

Why See an Oral Surgeon for Inlays and Onlays?

While general dentists often place inlays and onlays, there are situations where an oral surgeon's expertise might be beneficial:

• Complex cases: If the tooth damage is extensive or involves the underlying jaw bone, an oral surgeon's advanced training in facial structures and surgical procedures can ensure proper placement and restoration.
• Patients with anxiety or special needs: Oral surgeons are experienced in providing sedation and anesthesia, making the procedure more comfortable for anxious patients or those with special healthcare needs.
• Combined procedures: If you need additional procedures like bone grafting or wisdom tooth extraction, an oral surgeon can efficiently address multiple issues in one visit.

Reasons why someone might choose inlays or onlays:

• Durability: Inlays and onlays are typically made of strong, durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, providing long-lasting results.
• Aesthetics: They can be matched to the color of your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
• Preservation of tooth structure: Compared to crowns, inlays and onlays require less removal of healthy tooth structure.
• Protection: They help strengthen the tooth and protect it from further damage.
• Improved function: Inlays and onlays restore the tooth's chewing surface, improving its function.

Facial Implants

Fillers are a great option if you are new to cosmetic surgery or want to explore your options for enhancing your facial contours and appearance. While the body absorbs fillers over time and requires recurring treatment to maintain results, facial implants can last a lifetime. Facial implants are made of silicon or inserts compatible with human tissue. They can provide more volume or contour to the chin, cheeks, or jaw. This option is ideal for patients seeking a solution for a weak or receding chin, an undefined jaw or cheekbones, or who wish to enhance their features.

Dental Implants

Even if you've experienced complete tooth loss, modern dentistry offers effective solutions. Dental implants provide a permanent and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. These small titanium posts are surgically placed into your jaw bone, acting as artificial tooth roots. They create a stable foundation for individual dental crowns or, in cases of multiple missing teeth, for a full-arch restoration like All-on-4^®. Implants look and function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. With proper care and regular dental hygiene, they can last a lifetime.

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is a versatile cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-colored resin material to improve the appearance of your teeth. This resin is a durable plastic material that can be sculpted and shaped to match your natural teeth. It's a popular choice for addressing a variety of dental imperfections, such as chipped or cracked teeth, gaps between teeth, discoloration, and misshapen teeth. During the procedure, the dentist applies the composite resin to the affected tooth, then carefully shapes and polishes it to blend seamlessly with your smile. Composite bonding is a minimally invasive, cost-effective option for enhancing your smile and boosting your confidence.
