Invisalign

A beautiful smile allows you to express your personality and seize new opportunities. However, many people hide their smiles from the world due to the embarrassment of crooked teeth and don't want the inconvenience of traditional braces. Thanks to advancements in cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign allows our patients to straighten their teeth comfortably and discreetly, in half the time of fixed orthodontic braces.

Thinking about getting braces as an adult? Invisalign are clear plastic aligners that gently guide your teeth into proper alignment without your surroundings noticing you're undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Your Invisalign treatment will consist of a complete evaluation of your mouth. Then, our team will take impressions of your teeth using 3D imaging technology to personalize your clear aligners. You'll receive smooth aligners that won't irritate your teeth or gums. Still have questions about Invisalign? Download our Invisalign infographic for answers.

Using Invisalign offers many advantages over brackets and metal wires, including:

You can remove the aligners whenever you want
Allows you to eat and drink whatever you want
Brush and floss normally to maintain good periodontal health
Fewer office visits
Virtually invisible teeth straightening

Porcelain Veneers

Dr. Raya recommends porcelain veneers for various dental health and aesthetic issues, including uneven teeth, worn enamel, discoloration, chipped teeth, and irregular spacing.

Porcelain veneers, one of the most popular and effective developments in cosmetic dentistry, are thin, custom-made layers that cover the front of teeth. In some cases, veneers can have a restorative function and protect a damaged tooth from further harm.

Porcelain veneers are permanent, durable, and stain-resistant. With good oral hygiene and preventive dental care, they can last up to 20 years.

Why choose porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are highly sought after because they can address nearly all aesthetic problems you may face. For discolored teeth, we match their color to the shade you desire.

Advantages:

Stain-resistant
Durable (10-15 years)
No special care required (maintain like natural teeth)

Veneers can fill small gaps between teeth while maintaining a natural look. They can also address multiple different aesthetic issues simultaneously. You can regain confidence in your smile.

Porcelain veneers can correct:

Spaces between teeth
Irregular tooth alignment
Short teeth
Discoloration

Porcelain veneers are just one facet of Dr. Raya's cosmetic work that can change your life. They are created with the technical and artistic skills of a master ceramist. With unparalleled precision, the ceramist incorporates a myriad of details into designing your smile.

Veneers can be placed on as many or as few teeth as you wish, and our results speak for themselves.

Composite Veneers

Dental veneers can be a restorative and cosmetic dentistry treatment option for patients with damaged, misshapen teeth or gaps between teeth. Dr. Raya may also recommend dental veneers for teeth with discoloration or stains that don't respond to teeth whitening treatment.

Today, there are several types of dental veneers, each with different advantages, costs, and durability. It is important to understand your personal concerns, dental health goals, and budget to make the right treatment choice.

For patients seeking an affordable or temporary solution, Dr. Raya offers composite resin veneers. Composite veneers are ideal for patients not ready for the permanent and more expensive option of porcelain veneers.

What do composite veneers treat?

Like porcelain veneers, composite veneers address various aesthetic dental issues. One of the most common dental problems is tooth discoloration. Professional teeth whitening is usually the solution to this problem. However, it can't address all discoloration. If discoloration is due to trauma or deeper stains, you need another solution. We match the veneer color to the shade you desire.

Each composite veneer is custom-made, making it an excellent choice for closing gaps between teeth. If the issue is minor, we can use composite veneers to fill gaps while giving you the impression of a balanced, natural smile.

Composite Veneers VS. Porcelain Veneers

Both types of veneers are excellent options for addressing aesthetic issues. The biggest difference between the two is that porcelain veneers are more permanent than composite veneers. Porcelain veneers last around 10 to 15 years, compared to 4 to 8 years for composite veneers. Once you receive porcelain veneers, you will always need a restoration on your teeth due to the preparation required.

Composite veneers are more affordable. It's a great way to try out if you like the look and want the permanent restoration that porcelain offers. Composite veneers are also quicker to complete. They don't need to be specially crafted in a lab. Typically, they are sculpted directly onto your teeth and made while you wait at the office.
