Bonding is a rather fast and inexpensive solution to lengthen teeth, mask discolorations and close unsightly gaps. In this procedure, a safe putty-like bonding material is applied in layers with different color combinations. Finally the applied layers are then hardened with light and shaped using polishing discs. Cosmetic Bonding can usually be done in a single office visit. The small negative side to this process is that cosmetic bonding materials do not offer the strength, translucency, or longevity that porcelain veneers provide. However, this can be a good option for people with budget limitations. This works out well for people who want only minimal changes done to a few teeth.
This is ideal when you want to alter the shape of your front teeth. This is a simple inexpensive way to correct chipped, cracked or irregularly shaped teeth. Teeth that appear too long can be made shorter by selectively reshaping the enamel. Teeth that appear too sharp can be rounded, chipped edges can be smoothened the front portion of a tooth can be altered to make it look narrower. Often these procedures can be done in a single visit without the use of anesthesia.
Dental Caps or Crowns cover the entire tooth that has been severely cracked or decayed. Crowns are mostly made of porcelain, a durable, metal free material that gives them a natural appearance. There are also porcelain crowns affixed on gold or a semi-precious metal base.
This has been a revolutionary technique that is most effective for replacing missing teeth. It is a two part procedure. Firstly a screw-like titanium fixture is placed inside the bone underneath the gum tissue. It takes about an hour, and is done using local anesthesia and is generally painless. During the second part a special crown and abutment is placed on the titanium fixture. Unlike in conventional fixed bridgework, implants don’t require adjacent teeth to be shaved down. Several implants can be installed to support a bridge. Even dentures can be permanently fixed to the jaw bone using this technique. Talk to our specialists to find out if implants can help you.
If there is financial constraints or if implants are not practical, removable dentures are the best option. There are times when dentures serve as a temporary measure while waiting for dental implant placements to heal. Dentures are a permanent treatment option as well. At Dr32 we offer a wide range of full and partial denture solutions. Partial dentures help replace one to several missing teeth, while full dentures will replace a complete upper or lower arch of missing teeth.
This is used when gum tissue is uneven or overly visible when you smile. Our periodontist can enhance its contour and craft a more aesthetic smile.
When dramatic changes to the shape, length, in-between spacing or color of teeth are required, dental veneers or laminates are used. Veneers or otherwise known as Laminates are very thin shells of durable porcelain that are bonded to the front of a tooth. Can be completed within two to three visits. Whether it is a single veneer or a multiple veneer, the result will be a dramatic change in your smile. Initially we take photographs, models as well as a custom wax-up impression of your teeth. Your teeth are then constructed; impressions and bite relationships are taken and temporaries are prepared. The temporaries are made to mimic the final teeth. This will help you to study them at home and discuss any changes you might require. Our ceramist will then shape and color matcheach individual dental veneer. During the next visit they are tried in. Furtherrefinements can still be made to their shape or color at this stage. Once you are happy, we will bond them to your teeth with safe and long-lasting cement.
If you require major dental re-construction, Doctor thirty two can help.

Zoom Bleaching
This is the most popular and can be done within a 90 minute visit. Before treatment, photographs are taken and the teeth to be whitened are isolated using special materials to protect lips, tongue and gums. Then a series of three 15 to 20 minutes bleach treatments are applied to the teeth. After that the protective barriers are removed; ‘after’ photographs are taken to show the startling improvement.
Home Bleaching
