It's no secret that your face and smile are the
first things people notice about you. Having
yellowed, missing, misaligned or cracked teeth is
unflattering and tends to lower one's self-esteem.
Today there are so many technological advances in
dentistry, that you no longer have to suffer wtih
stained, chipped or misshapen teeth. There are many
affordable choices that can help you smile with
confidence. Enhancing your smile will not only make
you look better, but you'll feel better too.
One of the quickest and easiest ways to improve
your smile is by having your smile professionally
whitened with ZOOM! Whitening. A procedure
made popular on ABC's Extreme Makeover, Dr. Baumler at Dental
Care Associates is one of very few dentists in the WNY area who
is capable of performing this procedure.
Even the most subtle of changes in your smile can
have a dramatic effect on your appearance and how you feel about yourself. If you are in a profession where you are constantly interacting with people, enhancing your smile can have a profound effect on you present yourself to your customers and colleagues.
Here are some other common cosmetic procedures that can help you improve your smile.

Bonding
Bonding is a procedure that can help chipped, brokeen or cracked teeth, as well as teeth that have spaces between them or are stained. It involves a tooth-colored material being applied, or bonded to the tooth surface to regain proper color and shape.
Contouring
Contouring involves reshaping teeth to improve their appearance. The results are immediate and the process is often combined with bonding. Even the smallest of changes with contouring can make a profound difference in the look of your smile.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the fronts of your teeth. Veneers are made of tooth-colored materials and are used to permanently whiten your teeth, or to treat spaces between teeth. Veneers could be your solution for worn, chipped or poorly shaped teeth.
At-home Whitening
Professional, at-home whitening is a great way to
brighten your smile. The procedure involves two visits to us. At your
first visit, we'll take impressions of your teeth. From your impressions, we make plastic trays
that will fit your teeth snugly. At your second visit, you are fitted with your
trays and instructed on how to use them. You will fill your trays with
a professional-strength whitening gel, which is much stronger than
over-the-counter products, and wear your trays for at least 30 minutes
each day for up to 3 weeks, or until your desired whitening result takes effect. The downside to this procedure is that it takes up to 3 weeks and some patients may find it messy and hard to commit to. For these patients, we recommend our in-house ZOOM! Whitening method.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics are not just for kids! More and more
adults these days are finding out the dramatic difference
orthodontic care can have on their dental health and appearance.
There has been dramatic improvements in recent years in the field of Orthodontics and Dr. Bonnevie is a certified provider of Invisalign™ - the invisible braces. That's right! Adults can benefit from Orthodontic care with virtually invisible braces.
If you suffer from missing teeth, you might be a perfect candidate for implant dentistry.
