Have you ever caught yourself staring at the perfect smiles seen on TV, in the movies, and in magazines . . . the smiles of Hollywood actors and actresses, and models? Have you ever wondered, "How did they get that perfect, white smile? Odds are, those celebrities were not born with pearly white smiles. These smiles were likely designed and created just for them with the help of a cosmetic dentist. The good news? Anyone can enjoy the perfect Hollywood smile, with the assistance of a cosmetic dentist and porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers (also referred to as porcelain laminates) are super thin, custom fabricated shells of tooth colored porcelain designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your smile's overall aesthetic appearance. These shells are adhesively bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, width, and/or length. Versatile and very strong, porcelain veneers are used in a variety of ways to transform your smile, from complete smile makeovers to repairing a chipped tooth. Porcelain veneers are custom made from a high quality dental porcelain that has similar light reflecting properties as our natural teeth. Porcelain veneers are excellent at resisting stains and they mimic our natural teeth's light reflecting properties. They are the cosmetic dentist's greatest tool for elevating a normal smile to a Hollywood smile. Porcelain Veneers are regularly used to fix the following issues: -Teeth that are stained or discolored. Teeth can become stained or discolored from root canal treatment, from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride, or the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored over time. -Teeth that are worn down from use or grinding of teeth. -Teeth that are broken or chipped. -Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped. Porcelain veneers are sometimes referred to as "Instant Orthodontics". -Teeth with gaps or spaces between them. Porcelain Veneers are able to cosmetically close those spaces. Making the decision to have porcelain veneers is the first step. The entire process usually takes 3-4 visits, one for a consultation and two to make and apply the porcelain veneers. There is sometimes an added appointment following the consultation where the dentist will show the patient a mock up model. This model will be of your teeth where the dentist has waxed onto those teeth what the porcelain veneers will look like on your smile. It is a great visual reference for you to decide the course of treatment for you. This can also be done via software on a computer. One tooth or many teeth can simultaneously undergo the treatment described in the following paragraphs. Consultation/Diagnosis and Treatment Planning. This first step involves your active input. Explain to your dentist what you want in the final result. During this appointment, your cosmetic dentist will examine your teeth to make sure porcelain veneers are appropriate for you and explain to you what the procedure involves and some of its drawbacks. They may take X-rays and possibly make impressions of your teeth as study models. These models will be used by the dentist to do a mock up of the final result. The dentist will prepare the teeth on the model and sculpt wax over them to give you a visual representation of the final product. This is an important step. Preparing the Teeth for Porcelain Veneers. A dentist must remove about 1/2 millimeter of enamel from the tooth surface, which is an amount nearly equal to the thickness of the porcelain veneers to be added back to the tooth. Before beginning, you and your dentist will decide the need for a local anesthetic to numb the area. Next, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth. This model is sent out to a dental laboratory, which in turn constructs your custom porcelain veneer. It takes about 1-2 weeks for the laboratory technicians to complete the process. Temporary veneers are placed using a resin material until the final veneers are ready. Dental Bonding. Before the porcelain veneers are permanently bonded to your tooth, the dentist will check for fit and color by temporarily placing it on the tooth. If they fit properly and the color shade is correct the dentist will go on to prepare your tooth, your tooth will be cleaned, polished, and etched (this is a process whereby your tooth surface is roughened up chemically at the microscopic level). A special adhesive is applied to the porcelain veneers and the veneer or veneers are methodically placed on your tooth. When the they are in the right position, your dentist will apply a special light to the porcelain veneers. This activates chemicals in the adhesive, causing it to cure. The final steps involve removing any excess adhesive, evaluating your bite and making any final adjustments in the porcelain veneers as needed. Your dentist may ask you to return for a follow-up visit in a couple of weeks. This is to ensure you are happy with the final result as well as checking the gum tissue surrounding the new porcelain veneers. There are some disadvantages to porcelain veneers: -The procedure is not reversible. -Porcelain Veneers are not repairable. If they break, a new one will need to be custom fabricated in the laboratory. -The color cannot be changed once the porcelain veneers are in place. So both dentist and patient must be sure they are happy with color prior to final placement of the porcelain veneers. It does happen on occasion that the color is not what is desired from the laboratory and they are sent back to be remade. It is of the utmost importance for the patient to be happy and satisfied with the final result. -Porcelain veneers can fall off or chip. The material is very strong but patients who grind their teeth, bite their nails or chew on pencils will be more susceptible to this occurring. -The teeth under the porcelain veneers are still susceptible to tooth decay. Patients need to be made aware of maintaining proper oral hygiene. Porcelain veneers can be brushed, and flossed just like your own teeth. You should not even know they are in your mouth as they are bonded to your natural tooth structure. Imagine. In just a few short visits, you can have an amazing Hollywood smile . . . a smile that has been custom designed just for you. A smile that is straighter and whiter than you could have imagined. You'll be looking younger and feeling more confident. And it's all possible with your cosmetic dentist and porcelain veneers.
Are you concerned about the health of your mouth? Maintaining a healthy and sparkling smile is possible by brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Additionally, the cleaning of your interdental spaces ensures that your mouth will be healthier overall. What are the reasons inter-dental cleaning is needed? It is well known that plaque builds up between the spaces of your teeth, which toothbrushes can’t reach. As a result, you could develop problems like tooth decay, gingivitis, and even bad breath over time. By brushing your teeth regularly, you can avoid this to happen. Inter-dental brushing is a good way to prevent that from happening. What is inter-dental brushing? This is a new concept in terms of oral hygiene, with an interdental brush, you are able to brush the spaces between your teeth that are not accessible by your regular toothbrush. Brushing your teeth twice on a daily basis by using an inter-dental brush, aside from your regular toothbrush, is an effective way to keep your gums and teeth healthy and prevent gum diseases. Cleaning between your teeth may cause your gums to bleed and feel sore, but if there is no improvement after a few days, don’t hesitate to contact your dentist. In most cases, gingivitis is characterized by bleeding gums. Since inter-dental brushing comes in a variety of sizes, it is so hard to decide the one that is best suited for you. That is why it is always a good idea to seek advice from your dentist. Here are some tips that you can consider before you started. As you see your face in the mirror, run the brush between your teeth, and close to your gum line. Work up from the smallest size brush up to the point that the bristles are in contact with your gum line and tooth surface. Brushes should fit snugly, but the wire should not touch the gums or teeth since it is plastic-coated. Avoid forcing the brush into gaps. Once the interdental brush is fully inserted, make sure to rotate it back and forth two or three times. Maintain daily oral hygiene by cleaning all interdental spaces. Depending on your interdental spaces, you may need two to three brushes or a combination of two or three brushes and floss. How should interdental brushes be used? In order to obtain the best results from interdental cleaning, the right technique is important. In general, it is quite simple to use and you will get into the habit of using it, once you get familiar with it, Brush between the front teeth gently with a straight interdental brush. When brushing between gaps, you should not force it, but rather work gently or choose a smaller brush size. Brush your teeth back and forth several times with the interdental brush. For cleaning the back teeth, bend the soft neck slightly and use a small interdental brush. You can use your finger to help you reach your back teeth, otherwise, you can also get an interdental brush with a longer handle. By slightly bending the wire of a larger brush, gives better access to the back teeth. You’ll be able to make the brush use a little longer by not bending it at an angle or hold it straight.

What is a DentalCAD/CAM Block? Dental CAD CAM blocks are a tool that allows dentists to create 3D models and calculate the treatment plan. This device was first used in 1825 by John Crawford, a dentist who made a surgical instrument. The device would be used to place an image of the user's teeth onto it and then as a guide when taking measurements. Later, dentists used the device to create 3D models for patients' teeth. This was to ensure that they were following all procedures to achieve a good result. Why a TraditionalCAD/CAM Block is not always appropriate for Dental Practice There are many emerging technologies in today's world. One of these is CAD CAM block. A CAD CAM block is software that allows dental practices to design and fabricate prosthetic teeth in their office. Although CAD CAM blocks have been around for some time, what makes them unique from other CAD CAM blocks? They aren't just for one industry, but can be used by all companies and industries. The increasing popularity of CAD CAM blocks has been due to the fact that it allows dental offices to save time and money, rather than buying products from outside vendors. What is a Dental CAD/CAM/CAM Block? Dentists use dental CAD CAM blocks to create and communicate with their patients. These blocks consist of a computerized system with a monitor and a mouse. A dentist can create a model of the patient's mouth using CAD CAM software. Once they have the model, they can create any type of dental prosthesis that they require to make the patient smile. dental wax blocks What are the advantages of using a DentalCAD/CAM Blocks? Dentists can improve their workflow with dental CAD CAM blocks. This is a cost-effective option. These blocks allow dentists to create high-quality digital models from patient's teeth. They can also be used for research and education. Dentists have used dental CAD CAM blocks such as dental pmma blocks since the 1980s, but it has only recently become more common. These devices offer many benefits for your practice. These are just a few of the many benefits that these devices can bring to your practice. 1) Cost savings - Dental camd byr teeth whitening is less expensive than traditional methods such as hand crafting and 3D printing. It provides better detail than traditional methods. 2) Improved workflow: This device allows dentists create high-quality digital models for patient's teeth.
As new dental technologies go, efficiency is the key. In a world full of dental complications and the need for more cost effective and efficient solutions, Dentsply by Sirona has come to save the day. And with the help of Functional Aesthetic Dentistry in Summerlin, Primeprint has now arrived to the Las Vegas Valley. While I may sound a little hyperbolic over the latest dental technology. I believe you should follow me and see why Primeprint benefits both the dental practice and you as a patient. 3D-printers have gone a long way. Today, the latest release of Primeprint is a clear sign that Dentsply by Sirona has taken the leap towards a more professional standard. A standard that raises the bar for both the patient and the dentist. Professionals like Dr. Suffoletta in Las Vegas, NV understand the importance of bringing the latest technology to their patient’s local dental practice. Primeprint Uses and Purpose Primeprint is a high medical grade 3D printing system that encompasses two containment modules. One module is of printing and the second is for post-processing. It was built to be highly automated and provide a sophisticated end-to-end integration system. It allows both dentist and dental technicians to delegate patient requirements for 3D-printing and processing. It creates a near seamless system that takes the user from consultation and imaging to printing and post-processing. All withing minutes and all while providing results that are both reproducible and provides accurate results. A 4 Step Process that Makes the Difference! • Step 1 is the preparing of the file. With little time taken, the dental technician or dentist can quickly and accurately prepare a proper files needed prior to submitting to the Primeprint for processing. • Step 2 requires you to prepare the 3D printer with the correct materials needed for the current patient objectives. This all depends on whether you’ll need to develop a surgical guide, a temporary crown or any of the other options materials were created for. Then the machine may run it’s printing course. • Step 3 moves the 3D printing process further along its course into post-processing. This encompasses a multi-washing system, which enables a pre-wash, followed by a final wash, air drying and a curing process. • Step 4 is the finalization process where you put the finishing touches by separating the 3D-printed material from its initial printed mold. This allows for a medically safe product that is precise and accurate from start-to-finish. What are the Material Applications and Intelligent Management? The Primeprint system was pre-built to be user-friendly, color-coded for each material application and RFID capable. The RFID support allows the two units of material cartridge and 3D-Printing material unit to integrate and act as one unit. Allowing the user to have readily available data on the status of the printing cartridge prior to executing another dental unit. Whether it is for a temporary crown, a bite splint, a working model or more. Below is a list of the available materials and their use. • 3D printed bite splint • A Working model, a control model or a situation model can all be created. • Duplicate models • Surgical Guides • Individual impressions tray • Temporary anterior and posterior tooth restorations • Dental lab molding objects The interoperability of the Primeprint system with other third party applications such as a CAD/CAM system allows for a seemless transition and upgrade into a more effecient business model. The patient services and the patient benefit from this newly enhanced business model.

Simulation is a vital part of the learning of restorative dentistry. It provides the student with motor and procedural skills that would be impossible to learning in any other way. However, in order to use preclinical simulation most effectively, its limits need to be understood. Discussion of these rarely appears in the literature. This article identifies some of the purposes of simulation found in more general literature on the subject, and applies these to preclinical dentistry. It also describes some of the limits to simulation in the teaching of restorative dentistry. The dental practice simulator is a clinical-related model utilized in educating to mimic dental patients.
