Cosmetic Bonding
While used to repair decay in both front and back teeth, composite can also be used for simply cosmetic reasons. Small changes to repair cracks, chips or close spaces between teeth can make a huge difference in your overall smile. This can be a very minimally invasive procedure, comparatively low in cost, and done in just a small window of time using composite bonding just as a sculptor would use clay. After preparing the tooth (or several teeth) Dr. Mulroy will apply custom shaded resin, then sculpt, shape and polish it to create a natural and beautiful smile. Be sure to mention any changes you may wish to see next time you are in our office. You may be surprised how achievable results can be!
Porcelain Crowns
When a tooth has lost a great deal of structure to decay or trauma, crowns are used to strengthen teeth and may serve as an alternative when the tooth may otherwise require extraction. An artistic eye for detail in your dentist can achieve more beautiful results than perhaps others. Unsightly dark margins near the gumline can be due to the underlying metal of a porcelain-fused-metal crown. Dr. Mulroy uses porcelain crowns in this area which creates a more natural attractive smile line, The dramatic results he has achieved for his patients make this one of his favorite areas of dentistry. He uses only the best materials and local laboratories for fabrication, and is known for his unwillingness to acccept anything less than perfection in the function and beauty of his crowns and bridges.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers apply the finishing touches to many great smiles. You have probably seen them in some gleaming smiles of people you know or have met, but didn’t know they were veneers. Your cosmetic dentist in Holden area, Dr. Thomas Mulroy, understands how to artfully implement porcelain veneers. When Dr. Mulroy is creating porcelain veneers, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes communication between him and our local lab, which ensures the best fit, function and beautiful aesthetic appearance. You know you have come to the right cosmetic dentist serving Holden, Paxton Princeton & Sterling, when the right materials, size and shapes are carefully calculated give you the most ideal, natural look possible.
Veneers are not just for cosmetics. When offered by our Holden Dentist, veneers (as well as crowns) maintain your ideal bite in order to function well over time. In addition to looking great, they are also extremely stain resistant and will boost your confidence in ways you cannot fathom.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is highly effective in lightening natural tooth color to a desired shade and removes coffee, wine, tobacco and other stains. Dr. Mulroy will create custom whitening trays for you to take home to be used with a professional grade gel that far surpasses the “whitening” treatments available in your local drugstore. Custom trays are completely reusable so you can touch up your smile at any time.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are becoming the tooth replacement option of choice for many people. Because they are permanently inserted into the jaw, implants are truly the next best thing to having one’s own teeth. Greater satisfaction is reported for implants than for bridgework because they look and feel completely natural and are easy to care for. Dr. Mulroy works with the best periodontic specialists to place a small titanium implant into the bone where the implant retained tooth will be placed. A strong and natural looking tooth is then secured onto the implant. Implants are not only used to replace one missing tooth, but can be used in patients where multiple implants are needed.
