If your smile isn’t what it used to be, call, text or send a message to your cosmetic dentist in East Greenbush. Dr. Craig Alexander has the experience to give you a beautiful and healthy that smile that will boost your confidence and self-esteem.

Damaged Teeth Cause Problems for Other Teeth

Chipped, cracked, and stained teeth are just as much of an embarrassment as missing teeth. However, chipped, cracked, and missing teeth can also cause problems for other teeth.

For example, if you are missing a tooth, the tooth directly below, above, or to either side will try and move into the position where the tooth used to be. This causes all sorts of issues for your teeth and gums and your bite.

Old Restorations are Also Problematic

If you have old silver amalgam fillings, have them checked. Old mercury fillings often crack, chip, and leak. This means the toxic materials are no longer safe and confined to the filling.

Your cosmetic dentist in Albany suggests tooth colored fillings as a replacement for old metal fillings. Not only are tooth colored fillings biocompatible, but they are also natural looking and can last more than 10 years as long as you practice good oral hygiene.

Dental Implants

If you are missing one, a few or all of your teeth, talk to your New York cosmetic dentist about dental implants. Dr. Alexander has the experience to provide you with the best implant for your needs.

From single dental implants to mini dental implants and more, you are in good hands when you replace missing teeth with dental implants. Unlike dentures, dental implants also encourage bone growth as the post of the implant fuses to the bone.

One-Day Dental Cosmetic Dentistry Services

If you would rather not commit to porcelain veneers, talk to Dr. Alexander about cosmetic dental bonding. This safe and reversible cosmetic dentistry solution fixes chipped and cracked teeth and fills small spaces between teeth.

Tooth colored fillings are another same day dentistry option that will give you natural looking fillings.

Teeth that Have Yellowed with Age

If you have most of your natural teeth and few if any dental restorations, you could be a perfect candidate for professional teeth whitening.

The amazing customized tooth whitening system in East Greenbush lightens teeth up to 10 shades and can really give your grin a lift. However, keep in mind that teeth whitening will not work on most interior stains or teeth that are restored. If your restorations are stained, talk to Dr. Alexander about cosmetic dentistry replacement solutions.
