Bonded Bridges
Dr. Mullaney offers bonded bridges to replace missing teeth. This bridge type contains no metal and requires minimal removal of tooth structure from the back surface of the front teeth. A fiber-reinforced resin splint is bonded behind the teeth, and then a porcelain veneer is bonded for maximum aesthetic appeal.
Bonding
The application of tooth colored filling material (composite) to the teeth has been a dental technique for many years. Recent advances have increased the strength, durability, and longevity of these restorations. Bonding material can be molded and shaped to achieve outstanding results including tooth lightening, closing spaces between teeth, making teeth appear straighter, and repairing chips and cracks. When polished it gives the appearance of natural tooth structure.
Inlays and Onlays
Dr. Mullaney uses onlays and inlays - beautiful tooth colored restorations, designed perfectly to match your natural teeth - to replace old unsightly silver fillings. With this technology, Dr. Mullaney creates porcelain restorations that revive your natural strength, wear, function, and appearance. With these new materials, it is possible to bond teeth back together, virtually restoring them back to their original strength without invasive techniques.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a ground breaking alternative way to straighten your teeth without braces. Invisalign uses a series of removable aligners that are virtually invisible, so you don't have to worry about your appearance. You can take them out for daily necessities like eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Comfortable, convenient, and complimentary to your smile, Invisalign is the preferred method of teeth alignment for patients.
Teeth Whitening
Dr. Mullaney can give you a dazzling smile in about an hour - the time it takes, say, to go to lunch. Or, we invite you to try our customized take-home whitening trays for ease of use in your own home. If you have discolored or stained teeth, and are otherwise happy with your smile, then whitening may present an attractive option. You can even elect to change your natural tooth color anywhere from five to seven -- and even up to twelve -- shades brighter. Now that is the smile you have always dreamed about!
Hygiene
Dr. Mullaney believes strongly in taking a preventive approach to dental care. Dental hygiene services can be the most valuable, long-term service we offer our patients. These visits allow us to monitor your teeth and catch problems early when they are easier and less expensive to repair. We invite you to ask about the latest techniques and products, all geared to aid in your home care.
Instant Orthodontics
Dr. Mullaney uses instant orthodontics to give you a straight smile in as little as two to three visits, employing porcelain veneers to correct that less-than-perfect smile. Veneers are thin, translucent porcelain facings, bonded to the natural tooth structure and sculpted to the desired shape and size. The result is a smile that is absolutely stunning.
