Bonding
We all look in the mirror every day of our lives, but sometimes we see only what we want to see. Or perhaps we just get used to things the way they are . . . old tooth restorations that have turned gray or those slightly chipped two front teeth. Take a good hard look, and if you want any of those little flaws corrected, or if you decide you simply want to brighten up your smile, we can help you easily and efficiently with a procedure called composite resing bonding.
Composite resin is a tooth-colored plastic ceramic mixture that is used mainly for two different application in composite resin bonding. One use is as a filling material that replaces old silver (mercury-amalgam) fillings. It's available in a wide variety of shades and colors to match your own teeth. The second use is for cosmetic purposes, to correct chipped teeth or gaps between teeth.
Bonding is a versatile, easy, and effective way to improve your smile. It's this simple: at your next appointment, tell Dr. McKim exactly what you'd like to change about your smile. We can then explain various procedures and make a treatment plan.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Regain a Functional Beautiful Smile!
Imagine being able to turn back the clock 20 years or more. Full Mouth reconstruction involves restoring the teeth, bite and function back to a natural looking and youthful appearance. People who's teeth are in very poor health and have worn them excessively, are candidates for this treatment.
You do not need to live your life embarrassed and dissatisfied with your current “aged” smile. Dr. McKim’s goal is to fully restore your teeth and give you the beautiful, comfortable smile you have always dreamed about!
Implants & Bridges
Everyone deserves a beautiful smile!
With tremendous advances in aesthetic dentistry, there is no need to put up with anything less.
Implants are a great way to replace missing teeth, whether it is a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full set of implant retained dentures. Dentures, bridges or individual teeth attached to implants provide stability, more secure fit, and a more natural look and feel.
Dental implants are small titanium cylinders that are surgically inserted into the bone of the jaw. A restoration is then anchored to the implant. Since the implant is inserted into the jaw, surrounding teeth are not affected. Also, bone levels are preserved...an added plus.
Bridges
If you are missing one or more teeth, you may notice a difference in chewing, speaking and appearance. Bridges help maintain the shape of your face, as well as alleviating the stress in your bite by replacing missing teeth.
Sometimes called a fixed or partial denture, a bridge replaces missing teeth, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth are missing. The restoration can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto the surrounding teeth for support.
Gum Lift
A Bigger, Brighter Smile Uncovered!
A symmetrical and even gum line is one of the most important aspects of achieving a beautiful smile. Your gum tissue frames the top of your tooth, giving it is shape. When you have excess gum tissue, teeth may appear shorter, resulting in the notorious “gummy smile”. In a procedure called gum contouring (or lift), or gingival contouring Dr. McKim can trim excess or uneven gum tissue to make teeth look more proportioned using laser surgery
Laser surgery eliminates the discomfort of scalpel surgery, does not cause bleeding and heals quickly. This procedure is performed at the same time as your other restorative treatment.
The result is teeth that appear longer, more even and gums that don't steal the show.
Zoom! 2
Get ready to Zoom!
We have a treatment that offers maximum results! It’s called teeth- whitening, and it will complement your lifestyle and pocketbook. Tooth whitening is the #1 requested cosmetic dental procedure. It can be completed in one office visit, or with a few at-home treatments. A whiter, brighter smile is a great long-lasting investment.
Today, professionally administered tooth whitening systems such as Zoom 2, use innovative procedures and higher bleaching concentrations to produce faster, more dramatic whitening results. A 30 to 50 percent hydrogen peroxide solution is applied to teeth and activated by a high-intensity light or laser. Your natural tooth color contributes to the outcome of your whitening procedure.
Custom bleaching trays are another alternative to at home bleaching. A visit to your dentist is required for the preparation of thin, custom-molded plastic trays that fit over the teeth. The trays are filled with a solution ranging from 8 to 20 percent carbamide peroxide and then worn for one to three hours per day for several days.
Microscopes and Lasers
Technology is emerging in all fields and professions at a rapid pace. Dentistry is no exception.
The use of the surgical microscope in dentistry is now widely embraced by dental specialists. Cosmetic restorative dentists are quickly beginning to use the microscope to enhance their procedures.
The surgical microscope leads to heightened fine motor skills. The results are improved visibility from the magnification and illumination, which leads to improved clinical results.
The most precise restorative margins (cuts) are viewed and fine-tuned with enhanced patient rewards. Patients know that dentistry must be precise. When a dentist uses additional sources of magnification and illumination by investing in a surgical microscope, patients are assured that the dentist is committed to providing the most precise dentistry possible.
