Cosmetic Dental Services in Fall River, MA
Restore your healthy smile
with dental care from
Donald J. Dufour DDS and Joseph A. Reidy III DMD.
Cosmetic dentistry is a field in which
tremendous strides have been made in recent years, mainly attributable to
improvements in dental materials and adhesives. A smile is one of the first
things noticed when meeting people, and beautiful teeth are certainly a source
of confidence. We have years of experience providing a wide variety of cosmetic
services to our patients ranging from cosmetic bonding and dental bleaching to
Lumineers and incredibly esthetic crowns that appear to be as natural as what
nature intended. Here is a brief overview of what we can do to make your smile
"Hollywood perfect"...


Dental Bleaching
We provide two unique
ways to whiten even the darkest of teeth in a conservative, convenient way with
results that are sure to dazzle. One bleaching system involves making
customized trays that resemble mouth guards, each fitting precisely onto the
patients upper and lower arches. A strong bleaching gel, comprised mainly of
hydrogen peroxide, is placed into the trays, inserted into the mouth and worn
by the patient for approximately six consecutive hours (usually at night). A
noticeable improvement is rapidly made after about three to four days of
wearing the bleaching trays nightly. For those patients who prefer instant
bleaching gratification, we offer the ever-popular Zoom! Dental Bleaching
System. After isolating the teeth and covering any exposed gum tissue, a
concentrated bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and a high intensity light
is focused onto the patient's mouth to activate the gel and rapidly whiten the
teeth, making them several shades whiter in a short period of time. Needless to
say, this is a very popular method and produces dramatic results in a very
short period of time! Prior to any type of dental bleaching, we recommend a
consultation to verify whether or not a patient is a candidate for this type of
procedure.
Cosmetic Bonding
Although this type of
procedure has been performed for years, it still provides for an affordable,
esthetic way to alter the size, shape and color of the front teeth to make
one's smile sparkle. The newer materials that we use when bonding the teeth are
more color stable than those used years ago and so with proper maintenance, are
less likely to stain.
Lumineers and Veneers
Porcelain veneers and
Lumineers are very thin layers of porcelain that are custom made by a dental
lab and subsequently cemented by the doctors onto the teeth using very strong
adhesives. The size, shape and color of a patient's teeth can be dramatically
altered in a relatively conservative, color stable and highly esthetic manner.
Traditional veneers require a small degree of preparation (drilling) of the
teeth in order to accommodate the thickness of the veneers so that the final
results are perfect cosmetically. Lumineers, on the other hand, require
virtually no preparation and result in a beautifully designed smile that's sure
to sparkle! As with any cosmetic procedure of this nature, not every patient is
a candidate and a consultation is first recommended.
Crowns
Crowns, or
"caps" as laymen may refer to them, are a strong, long-lasting
and esthetic way to alter the appearance of a patient's smile. The dentist must
first reduce and reshape the patient's teeth in order to accommodate the crown,
which is made in a dental lab according to the specifications recommended by
the dentist. The crowns are made of porcelain or other high strength, durable
and extremely esthetic material and are cemented over and onto the prepared
teeth by the dentist. Porcelain technology has changed considerably in recent
years, and so a perfectly cosmetic result is easily acquired. Never before has
a perfect smile been so easily achieved!
