Few people realize the importance a smile can play in everyday life. Misshapen or crooked teeth can negatively impact your appearance, possibly resulting in fewer job offerings, less opportunity for relationships and bad first impressions. With cosmetic dentistry becoming more affordable for the average consumer, more people are deciding on teeth straightening procedures at Aesthetic Dentistry of Bernardsville in New Jersey to improve their smile.

When Sally first came to Aesthetic Dentistry of Bernardsville, she was upset about her smile, knowing that her misshapen teeth was aging her face, making her appear older. After talking to Dr. Cheryl Tauriello about possible options including Invisalign, Sally ultimately decided on porcelain veneers to repair her smile.

After the porcelain veneers were placed, Dr. Tauriello decided that Sally would also require gum recontouring to achieve the smile she wished.

To accomplish this, Dr Tauriello created a model of Sally's teeth to determine the most aesthetically correct position of her gum line. After finding the best gum contour in relation to her teeth, Dr. Tauriello used the diode laser to recontour the gums into the aesthetically correct position resulting in fantastic results and a satisfied patient.

Instant Orthodontics and Sleep Dentistry Smile Makeover

San Francisco Sleep Dentistry Patient PhotosSara had several discouraging visits with a previous dentist while growing up. She started to become nervous and afraid to go to the dentist. Because of this, her teeth started to become unhealthy.

She decided to visit San Francisco Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Berstein's office. Sara wanted her entire mouth restored to its original healthy state. This reconstruction took two visits to complete.

Dr. Bernstein wanted Sara to be as relaxed as possible while he worked on her smile makeover. He discussed sleep dentistry with Sara and expalined how it would help her be comfortable.

Sleep dentistry uses a simple sleeping pill, which is taken an hour before you come to your dentistry appointment. It is important to have someone drive you to and from your appointment. Taking the pill before you arrive will ensure that you are relaxed when you walk through the door. Another sleeping pill may be taken when you arrive if necessary. You will be covered with a blanket when you are lying in the dentist chair and your vital signs are checked frequently. All of your cosmetic dentistry procedures are completed while you are asleep. You wake up relaxed after everything is finished.

Before the Smile Makeover

San Francisco Instant Orthodontics Before Patient PhotoSara was unable to maintain her healthy smile due to her anxiety at the dentist's office. She needed a lot of work to restore her teeth. Dr. Bernstein used instant orthodontics to create a beautiful, healthy smile.

Instant orthodontics were used instead of traditional braces for a rapid result and to create a full front tooth that was partially missing. Instant orthodontics use porcelain veneers to create strong, white teeth.
