- Resin CompositeComposite Bonding is a technique were an enamel-like material is applied, hardened and sculpted to change the color or shape of a tooth, cover flaws, and close gaps or spaces between teeth in a single visit often without anesthetic. Cosmetic dentistry uses composite tooth bonding as a technique to work wonders for your smile. Composite bonding is a quick process, typically lasting less than an hour. Compared to porcelain veneers or a dental crown procedure, it is a popular choice because it does not reduce the tooth’s original structure. Composite bonding is also relatively inexpensive. And finally, composite resins are available in many different shades. The shade can be chosen to match the natural color of the original tooth.
- VeneersPorcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, which are bonded to the front of teeth. This procedure requires little or no anesthesia, and can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth. Porcelain veneers are placed to mask discolorations, to brighten teeth, and to improve a smile. Results vary dramatically from dentist to dentist, depending on the skill level and amount of advanced training the dentist has received. In the hands of a prosthetic dental specialist, though, the results can be astounding. If you would like to see if porcelain veneers are right for you, contact Dr. Andres Carbunaru for a complimentary cosmetic evaluation.
- CrownsFabrication of dental crowns is an advanced restorative procedure that involves comprehensive understanding of biology, biomechanics and aesthetics, which is why it is recommended to have this procedure performed by prosthodontists who have more training in aesthetic tooth treatments.
- BridgesA dental implant literally replaces a missing tooth. A dental implant simulates the root of a tooth to which the cosmetic dentist attaches a cosmetic tooth. A dental bridge, on the other hand, is non-surgical and uses the adjacent teeth to support a new cosmetic tooth. A dental implant is not invasive to surrounding teeth (especially desirable if they are healthy and in good condition). By simulating the root, it engages the bone and keeps it healthy. Because a dental implant is an individual tooth it is also easier to floss. A dental bridge can be a good choice if the adjacent teeth are in need of restoration. However, there are other subtle factors such as age, timing and bone health that you should discuss when deciding which options may be best for you.
- Dental BondingDr. Carbunaru believes in using conservative methods to enhance your smile whenever possible. Composite bonding is an ideal choice for fixing many minor aesthetic problems without damaging your natural tooth in doing so. His years of experience and advanced studies help him create absolutely stunning results with composite bonding.
- Restorative DentistryDr. Mantellini’s thorough experience in the expanding field of cosmetic dentistry combined with her reassuring presence allows her to create beautiful smiles for all her patients, adults and children, in a calming environment. She completed her dental degree at Universidad Central de Venezuela in 1999 and shortly after, she earned a Masters of Science in Restorative Dentistry at the University Of Michigan Dental School, in Ann Arbor Michigan. Through the years she had taught at the undergraduate level at dental clinics, done research in basic sciences and published several articles in different topics of dental literature.
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canal treatment (also referred to as root canal therapy or endodontic therapy) is made necessary when an untreated cavity reaches all the way to the pulp. Treatment may also be needed when deep restorations or trauma to a tooth cause nerve damage. If the pulp is infected, not only is it painful but it will require treatment as it cannot heal on its own. Symptoms that indicate the pulp has become infected may include sensitivity to hot/cold or sweets, pain, swelling, pain to biting or pressure, and a bad taste in the mouth. However, sometimes no symptoms are apparent and you may be unaware of any problem until a checkup.

- Dental ImplantsIf you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, there is good news! Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own! Under proper conditions, implants can last a lifetime. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is been placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth ExtractionsAt Weston Dental Care, we want your teeth to last as long as possible. Sometimes, however, a tooth may be so severely damaged that it simply cannot be saved. Tooth extraction can prevent further damage and infection and will get you on your way to achieving excellent dental health and restoring your beautiful, functional smile. Our dentist and team will help you feel comfortable as we use the latest techniques to remove the affected tooth in order to protect your dental health.
- Bone GraftingIn some cases, your jaw bone is too thin or soft to keep the implant in place in its current state. This means there is not enough bone for a stable Implant. In this situation, during your treatment plan evaluation, our specialist will talk to you about the need of undergoing a bone graft for dental implants. Bone Grafting is the art of adding and growing the missing bone, so a dental implant can be firmly placed. The bone material is usually placed in a soft state and the body replaces it with new bone over a period of several months.
- OrthodonticsLuckily, your options for correcting crooked teeth mean you don’t have to endure the uncomfortable metal braces of the past! Our cosmetic dentistry practice uses Invisalign®, a system of orthodontics that uses invisible plastic aligners to comfortably shift your teeth into place.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsGet the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. Invisalign® is an almost invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. And it’s been proven effective in both clinical research and in practices nationwide. So whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since wearing braces, you’ll have a new reason to smile. Talk to the friendly staff at Weston Dental to see if Invisalign is right for you.
- BracesNumerous other cosmetic dentistry techniques exist that can provide “instant orthodontics” that require no braces at all. Composite bonding and the application of porcelain veneers are both conservative ways to mask the appearance of crooked teeth. Be aware that these cosmetic approaches cannot address orthodontic issues such as an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, and therefore are not suitable for every patient.
