Types of Cosmetic Dental Treatments Offered

Here in Toms River, NJ, Dr. Manela offers the following cosmetic dentistry treatments:

• Dental bonding: Bonding can be used to repair minor damage to teeth, such as small chips or cracks. After matching the shade of your teeth, Dr. Manela will apply a composite resin to the affected tooth. He will then reshape the tooth to match the shape and size of your existing teeth.
• Crowns and bridgework: These are treatments that can be used to replace missing teeth and restore the structure of your face. A crown is a restorative treatment that completely covers a tooth to the gum line. In combination with bridgework, crowns can also be used to replace a missing tooth. In this case, Dr. Manela will place crowns over the healthy teeth on each side of the gap to support the third crown that will be placed between them.
• Dental implants: Dental implants are a permanent solution to one or more missing teeth, along with a very popular cosmetic dentistry treatment in Toms River NJ. One or more titanium posts are implanted within the jawbone. An abutment is attached to the post and then a prosthetic tooth is bonded to the abutment.
• Porcelain veneers: Veneers can be used to cover teeth that are weakened by decay or have become fractured or broken. A veneer is a thin porcelain sheath that is fitted to the front of the damaged tooth. It is customized to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth.
