You will be able to talk, eat and drink just as you normally would, and no one will even notice! Tooth Colored Fillings are also compatible with dental sealants, so your tooth can be filled and sealed at the same time to prevent any further complications. http://www.bellairefamilydentistry.com/Bellaire-Dentist-tooth-whitening-enamel-teeth-Services-Procedures#service164 Sat, 19 May 2012 12:50:17 PM PDT Our teeth are protected by enamel that helps ward off the effects of chewing, gnawing, and exposure to elements like acid and sugars found in many drinks and foods. Over time, however, the enamel weakens, causing tooth discoloration and a dull appearance.& ; Tooth whitening procedures, both in-office and at home, can make your teeth brighter and whiter.& ; http://www.bellairefamilydentistry.com/Bellaire-Dentist-invisalign-braces-metal-teeth-Services-Procedures#service167 Sat, 19 May 2012 12:50:17 PM PDT Invisalign is a great alternative to metal braces so you don't have to sacrifice your smile while realigning your teeth! You now can straighten your teeth without metal, braces or wires! Invisalign trays are also clear so no one will even know you're wearing them (unless you tell them)! & ; & ; http://www.bellairefamilydentistry.com/Bellaire-Dentist-crowns-used-tooth-covering-Services-Procedures#service280 Sat, 19 May 2012 12:50:17 PM PDT A crown is a covering used for a tooth that is misshapen or discolored or has a large filling that needs support. & ;Thus, a crown may be used to restore a weak tooth or for cosmetic reasons. & ;Crowns generally require two office visits. & ; http://www.bellairefamilydentistry.com/Bellaire-Dentist-veneers-teeth-tooth-stirneman-Services-Procedures#service168 Sat, 19 May 2012 12:50:17 PM PDT Dr. Stirneman can customize veneers to cover all or part of your tooth or teeth. Veneers give you a straighter, whiter smile without removing much of your natural tooth structure. Their bond is extremely strong, so you can use them just as you would your own teeth, and you won't even notice the difference! http://www.bellairefamilydentistry.com/Bellaire-Dentist-teeth-surface-cause-pain-Services-Procedures#service169 Sat, 19 May 2012 12:50:17 PM PDT Many people grind their teeth, whether they are aware they are doing it or not. This can cause a number of problems, including jaw pain, headaches and tense muscles. Teeth grinding can also hurt your teeth by wearing down the surface and enamel, leaving you vulnerable to cavities and other irritations. http://www.bellairefamilydentistry.com/Bellaire-Dentist-implant-crown-patients-stirneman-Services-Procedures#service279 Sat, 19 May 2012 12:50:17 PM PDT Dr. Stirneman is available to restore our patients' implants. & ;When a patient loses a tooth and chooses to replace it with an implant, the implant needs to be covered with a crown. & ;After the implant has been placed and given ample time to integrate with the bone in the jaw, restoring the implant with a crown is the next step. & ;& ; http://www.bellairefamilydentistry.com/Bellaire-Dentist-their-children-teeth-stirneman-Services-Procedures#service171 Sat, 19 May 2012 12:50:17 PM PDT Our children and their teeth are constantly developing, changing, and very special.
