Teeth Whiting: Modern methods of teeth whitening can improve appearance of stained and yellow teeth. Dr. Cohn’s office provides several teeth whitening services to brighten up your smile. Call to schedule an appointment with our hygienist today.
Dental Implants: Dental implants are an attractive option to dentures or a dental bridge and can last a lifetime. No longer do patients have to struggle with loose-fitting dentures that can cause difficulty chewing and make it uncomfortable to smile, nor do healthy teeth have to be cut down to accommodate a dental bridge. With our dental implant procedure, you can leave our office with a natural-looking healthy smile that you can call your own.
Bridges: Bridges are a way to permanently attach restored or newly created or false teeth to adjoining teeth. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
The following are benefits of bridges:
- Restore your smile
- Restore your ability to properly chew and speak
- Maintain the shape of your face
- Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
Crowns: A dental crown is a tooth – shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth. This covering restores the shape, size, and strength, while improving its appearance.
A crown may be needed:
- To protect a weak tooth from breaking or cracking
- To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
- To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left
- To hold a dental bridge in place
- To cover misshapened or severely discolored teeth
- To cover a dental implant
