Smile Makeovers for the Jackson, Mississippi Area — Porcelain Veneers, Teeth Whitening, and Dental Implants
Your smile is often the first thing people notice when they meet you, so you want it to look its best. However, a smile affected by teeth that are chipped, fractured, discolored, or badly worn can be a source of self-consciousness, especially when you’re trying to make that all-important first impression. That's why Dr. Kalil Abide and his team offer a full line of cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures at his practice in Jackson, serving Madison, Ridgeland, Brandon, and surrounding Mississippi communities. From teeth whitening and porcelain veneers to dental implants and Invisalign®, we offer all of the treatments you would need to have a beautiful smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are hand-crafted porcelain shells that are bonded to your existing cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth. Porcelain veneers are also used to correct problems with alignment and bite, as well as the shape and length of your teeth, in a matter of hours. At Harmony Dental Care in Jackson, near Ridgeland and Madison, Mississippi, we are proud to offer the latest technology in porcelain veneers. Dr. Abide and his associates are able to customize the color, shape, size, and texture of your veneers so that they will be virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
The placement of your porcelain veneers can be completely finished in as few as three office visits, and your new smile will retain its beauty for years to come. During your first visit, Dr. Abide will examine your teeth and help you determine whether porcelain veneers are the right option for you. During the second appointment, the teeth to be treated will be prepared through the removal of a thin layer of enamel to accommodate the thickness of the veneer. An impression of the area will be made and sent to a dental laboratory so that your veneers can be custom crafted. You will return for a third visit to have the veneers bonded to your teeth.
If you are tired of looking at cracked, stained, or crooked teeth, contact our Jackson, Mississippi practice today to discuss how Dr. Abide can use porcelain veneers to painlessly and quickly perfect your smile.
Teeth Whitening
Regardless of how healthy your teeth are, stains left by coffee, tea, nicotine, and other staining agents can leave you with a tarnished, dull smile. Teeth whitening is a popular procedure at Harmony Dental Care of Jackson for patients throughout Mississippi. Teeth whitening has received much media attention lately and, as a result, has quickly become the latest craze in America's quest for beautification.
Dr. Abide offers both the in-office and at-home versions of the popular and highly effective Rembrandt® teeth whitening systems so that his patients can whiten their teeth when it is most convenient for them. During the quick and easy in-office procedure, the Rembrandt® whitening gel is applied to the teeth. We use a special light to activate the whitening power of this gel so that stains disappear after just one office visit. The convenient at-home teeth whitening system utilizes customized trays that are worn over the teeth to keep the Rembrandt® whitening gel in place. When worn either overnight or for a few hours each day, amazing results are possible after just a few weeks.
Patients are often shocked at how much younger and more radiant a whiter smile can make their entire face appear. If you are interested in having a brighter, healthier-looking smile and live in the Jackson, Mississippi area, contact Dr. Abide to learn more about your teeth whitening options.
Dental Implants Restoration
Dental implants have become the tooth replacement option of choice for many because they look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Once a dental implant is placed in a patient’s jawbone, it can last a lifetime. The healing process after an implant is placed takes anywhere from four to eight months, after which the implant is then ready to be restored with a tooth (crown). Patients visit our practice in Jackson from all over Mississippi to have their dental implants expertly restored by Dr. Abide.
To begin the restorative process, Dr. Abide will place a metal post on the dental implant and then take an impression of the area so that an artificial tooth (crown) can be custom made. In addition to single tooth replacements, Dr. Abide can also create bridges or dentures to be retained or supported by dental implants.
Dental implants not only look extremely natural, but they also restore function and improve chewing and speaking ability. Dr. Abide has the skill and artistic eye to devise a plan of treatment that will best suit your needs. If you live in Jackson, Ridgeland, Madison, Brandon or a surrounding community in Mississippi and you are interested in dental implants, contact Harmony Dental Care to discuss your treatment options with Dr. Abide.
Invisalign®
If you've ever wanted to have your teeth straightened but have been turned off by bulky metal braces, then Invisalign® might be a good option for you. Unlike traditional metal braces, the Invisalign® system doesn't use wires or brackets to align the teeth. Instead, the system uses a series of clear plastic aligners that are designed to gradually move the teeth into their ideal position. In addition to being clear and virtually invisible, the aligners are removable, making chewing, brushing, and flossing much easier than with traditional braces.
Each Invisalign® patient receives a customized series of aligners. Each aligner is worn by the patient for about two weeks and then replaced by the next aligner in the series so that the teeth are gently guided into proper alignment over time. Many patients complete treatment within six months to a year. To find out whether this revolutionary orthodontic treatment is right for you, contact Dr. Abide at his practice in Jackson, Mississippi, to schedule an Invisalign® consultation today!
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding, like porcelain veneers, offers a quick and pain-free way to conceal chips and cracks in your teeth. Bonding can also make small teeth look more proportionate and help improve misalignments. During dental bonding, Dr. Abide and his team will apply a thin coat of plastic resin over your damaged teeth. Then, the resin material will be shaped and sculpted to match your existing teeth. This process takes only a few minutes and will leave you with a beautiful new smile. Though not as long-lasting as porcelain veneers, dental bonding can endure for years with the proper care.
