COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Your smile tells a lot about who you are. It can even be the first part of your face to give away your age. Crooked,
stained and disproportionate teeth will not only add years to your face, they can also detract from a professional appearance.
Everyone wants to feel vibrant, youthful and attractive. Unfortunately, an imperfect smile can keep you from projecting that beautiful person you know you are inside.
Through Dr. Mindy Munowitz's skilled hands and commitment to cosmetic dentistry education, you now have the power to realize that stellar smile that has been hiding inside all this time.
Don't forget that health and beauty go hand-in-hand. Every cosmetic treatment we perform is designed with your health in mind. The reverse is true as well. Every treatment from simple fillings to full mouth restorations is created to look as good as it feels.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of cosmetic dentistry's most effective treatments, worn by celebrities and stars all over the world. Now available right here in the greater Cincinnati
from qualified cosmetic dentists like Dr. Munowitz, porcelain veneers are an ideal way to brighten, straighten and add a healthy dazzle to front teeth. These natural looking and
delicately shaded restorations are created from the finest, purest porcelain. When bonded into place, they can fill gaps, repair chips, rejuvenate worn teeth, and cover
discolorations such as those caused by injury or tetracycline use.
Often an excellent alternative to crowns, porcelain veneers can change a tooth's color, size or shape with little or no anesthesia. Though wafer-thin, porcelain veneers are surprisingly sturdy; their natural, lifelike appearance will keep you smiling for many years.
Teeth Whitening
The most dazzling smiles used to be found mainly in the movies and on TV. Not any more. If you have been wishing for a gleaming smile in an instant, cosmetic dentistry offers
techniques that make gorgeous, sparkling-white smiles an affordable reality for everyone. Just ask Dr. Mindy Munowitz. She offers a variety of in-office and take-home smile
whitening procedures to help you get Hollywood-bright - right here in Ohio.
In-Office Laser Bleaching
This simple, painless procedure is performed right in the office and involves absolutely no anesthesia or drilling.
A whitening solution is applied directly to your teeth. After the gentle solution is applied, we activate the whitening process with a special laser.
And that's it! The procedure is repeated over a series of visits determined by your desired final shade, and future follow-up visits will keep your smile looking its brightest.
Home Bleaching
Designed for your convenience, home teeth whitening lets you perform the treatment while you work, relax, or sleep.
We custom-make a thin, almost-invisible, clear plastic shell to fit over your teeth. All you have to do is place the bleaching agent in the shell, slip the shell into place, and go about your business. It's simple, fast whitening anytime you want.
Optimal whitening results take several weeks to achieve, and won't harm fillings, bonding, caps, or other dental work. It's the comfortable way to get a star smile, right here in West Chester!
Bonding
A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of a face. With cosmetic dentistry's many advances, you no longer have to settle for stained, chipped, or misshapen teeth. You now
have choices that can help you smile with confidence.
Bonding is a method of restoring decayed teeth or making cosmetic improvements to change the color of teeth or reshape teeth with a composite resin filling. And though porcelain veneers are often our first suggestion for cosmetic improvements, when performed by a trained cosmetic dentist, bonding can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked, stained, or have spaces between them.
First, a thin coating of a plastic material is applied on the front surface of the teeth. Next, bonding material is applied and sculpted, colored and shaped to provide an attractive, natural-looking result. A high-intensity light hardens the resin. Finally, the surface is polished to a luminous sheen.
Smile Design
Just like you, your smile is unique. Because we are trained in all aspects of cosmetic and comprehensive dentistry, everyone at Smiles Ohio takes great care when designing a
smile that complements you. We take a series of facial measurements to help us create a smile that is in proportion to your bone structure, age and gender. We want your smile to
enhance your appearance and look completely natural. It's the way Cincinnati smiles!
White Fillings
The days of silver-mercury fillings are now nearly obsolete. Our practice uses no silver mercury and will be happy to assist you in replacing older, failing amalgam
restorations. Today's porcelain inlays and composite resins create fillings that not only look natural but also are stronger than materials of the past.
Mercury amalgams compromise the strength of your teeth. There have also been some suggestions that the mercury contained in these fillings could be harmful to your health. In fact, the FDA announcement that dental mercury fillings are a neurotoxin not to be used in children and pregnant women. That is why we prefer to remove them. We are one of only two dental offices in the greater Cincinnati area to have an amalgam separator that removes the mercury we extract from dental fillings, before water from our office joins the public waterways. Besides, our pure, white fillings look so much more natural in your smile!
Crowns
If your teeth have been badly damaged and need structural integrity and support, cosmetically designed dental crowns can be an effective treatment option. Our metal-free,
porcelain crowns are shaped and colored like a natural tooth, to restore strength and eliminate discomfort. Our pure porcelain crowns can also effectively anchor a dental bridge
for natural beauty and comfort.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a custom-made false tooth or teeth placed permanently between two healthy teeth to fill the area left by a missing tooth or teeth. The bridge is held in place
by porcelain crowns placed on the healthy teeth on each side of space to be filled. A bridge created by a cosmetic dentist is completely metal-free. As a result, such as bridge
absorbs light, creating a natural-looking smile. (Bridges made of porcelain on metal actually reflect light, creating an "unnatural" look for the tooth or teeth.) Bridges reduce
the risk of gum disease, help correct some bite problems and help improve speech.
Partials
We offer cosmetic dentures that do more than replace the teeth. They are precision measured to provide the most optimum position and fit. The results are attractive, secure
dentures that allow you to speak, eat and smile with comfort and confidence.
When some healthy teeth remain, a partial denture can be used. Our partial dentures are made to match your natural teeth so no one knows they are there. Using the principles of cosmetic dentistry, we design these partials to keep the remaining healthy teeth from shifting positions in the mouth so your smile stays beautiful, healthy and strong.
