Our experienced sedation dentistry team will give you the dream smile you deserve in only one or two pain and anxiety free appointments.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Dr. Cancelliere has extensive experience in cosmetic dentistry techniques and has helped thousands of patients achieve the smile they previously only could have dreamed about. We all realize that having a healthy, bright, beautiful smile enhances our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence. Thanks to the advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, we are able to improve our teeth and smiles with quick, painless and surprisingly affordable treatments.

Cosmetic dental treatments can:

• Change the size, shape, and alignment of certain teeth.
• Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth.
• Improve or correct bites.
• Lighten or brighten the color of teeth.
• Repair decayed, broken, cracked, or chipped teeth.
• Replace missing teeth.
• Replace old, unattractive dental treatments.

Remember, your smile speaks before you even say a word!

Can you really provide painless procedures?

With safe and proven techniques, patients receive a sedative, which works rapidly to create a relaxed state that is maintained and monitored throughout treatment. IV Sedation allows us to complete multiple procedures in one appointment.

What can I expect during my initial visit?

• Examine diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Necessary for finding decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. These x-rays are also used to diagnose developmental problems of teeth growing in.
• Screen for oral cancer: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
• Check for gum disease: Examination of the gums and bone around the teeth to find any signs of periodontal disease.
• Check for tooth decay: Use of special dental instruments to test all tooth surfaces for decay.
• Examine existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, and other restorations

Are dental x-rays safe?

Our everyday environment exposes us to natural radiation all the time. Dental x-rays from a full- mouth series emits the same level of radiation that a person receives on a daily basis from natural sources.

How often should dental x-rays be taken?

We recommend a full-mouth series of x-rays for all our new patients, so we have a better idea of their current dental health. The full-mouth series is typically good for three to five years. Bite- wing x-rays, on the other hand, should be taken once or twice a year during regular check ups.

What can I do to take care of my teeth?

Tooth brushing - You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, especially right before you go to bed. In addition, an ADA-approved toothpaste and soft bristle tooth brush will make a difference in the effectiveness of your routine.

Flossing - Daily flossing allows you to clean between the teeth and under the gum line, while at the same time preventing plaque build up and protecting your gums and teeth from the damage that plaque can cause.

Rinsing - Rinsing your mouth with water after brushing (and after meals if you don't have a chance to brush) is another important step in home dental care. If you like to use an over-the- counter product for rinsing, you can talk with Dr. Cancelliere or hygienist to find out the best one for you.

Depending on your dental health, Dr. Cancelliere might recommend that you also use other dental aidsl, such as tongue cleaners, rubber tip stimulators, irrigation devices, interdental brushes, medicated rinses and fluoride.
