Cosmetic Dentistry

If your smile is far from perfect, Dr. Kathleen Falsey, DDS of Bayberry Dental Care has a solution to turn that around. Cosmetic dental services will improve the appearance of your smile through veneers, whitening, bonding, and more. If your teeth are stained, worn, chipped, cracked, or misaligned, schedule a consultation with Dr. Falsey to discuss your treatment options.

While traditional dentistry addresses the health of your teeth and gums, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your teeth, mouth, and smile as a whole. Cosmetic dental services not only enhance aesthetics, they also help restore function. Today, cosmetic dentistry is more popular than ever, from whitening and shaping to closing spaces and replacing teeth.

Bridges

Bridges are an option for restoring missing teeth without an implant.  Bridges use healthy teeth on either side of a missing tooth to anchor a permanent restoration. Missing teeth wreak havoc on your mouth over time.  Gaps in the teeth can cause problems with eating and speech, and when a tooth is missing long enough the jaw bone is vulnerable and the structure becomes compromised.  Dr. Kathleen Falsey, DDS places permanent bridges to repair patient smiles and restore function to the mouth. 

With a bridge, the replacement tooth is held in place by caps on the teeth on either side.  The process can usually be completed in two visits.  First, an impression of the area is taken so that a dental laboratory can create a bridge that will fit perfectly. On your second visit, the bridge will be cemented into place.  Bridges can be replaced if needed but with proper care, they last a lifetime!

Restorative Crowns

Dental crowns are a restorative option for teeth that have a significant amount of decay or are at risk of being chipped.  Dr. Kathleen Falsey, DDS uses crowns to repair patient smiles and restore function to the mouth.  When a tooth needs a crown, the process can be completed in as little as two visits.

To prepare a tooth for a crown, your dentist will remove the decay from the tooth, and may reshape the remaining tooth to ensure a great fit for the new crown. Once the tooth has been prepared, your dentist will take an impression of the area.  This impression is sent to a dental lab where the crown is fabricated.  Ask us about temporary options to wear while your new crown is being made.  On your final visit, the crown will be cemented into place by your dentist.  The crown fits over the tooth like a little cap, and completely covers the tooth.  It will blend right into your natural smile and can last a lifetime!

Dental Implant Details

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots that provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or all of the teeth. The goal of teeth replacement is to restore function as well as aesthetics. At Bayberry Dental Care, Dr. Kathleen Falsey will examine the area to be considered for the dental implant and make a clinical assessment of whether you are an eligible candidate.

While the primary function of dental implants is for teeth replacement, there are areas in which implants can assist other dental procedures. Due to their stability, dental implants can be used to support a removable denture and provide a more secure and comfortable fit. Dental implant surgery is usually performed under local anesthetic and therefore, no pain should be felt during the procedure. After the local anesthetic has worn off, the post-surgery discomfort will vary with each individual case.
