LaserSmile For patients who do not look forward to needles, drilling, or numbness, laser dentistry may be the right choice. Laser dentistry is one of dentistry's most recent developments. The laser delivers energy in the form of light. Depending on the intended result, this energy travels at different wavelengths and is absorbed by a "target." In dentistry, these targets can be enamel, decay, gum tissue, or whitening enhancers. Each one absorbs a different wavelength of light while reflecting others. Laser dentistry can be used for both tooth and soft tissue related procedures. Often times no local anesthesia is required. Unlike the dental drill with laser dentistry there is no heat or vibration, making the procedure quite comfortable for most patients. For soft tissue (surgical) procedures it eliminates the need for suturing and healing is much faster. Whitening of the teeth is performed for patients who desire a brighter smile. Teeth whitening can be performed to reduce discoloration and staining, or simply to provide the patient with whiter, brighter teeth.
Tooth VeneersThere are a few tooth whitening procedures available that correct discoloration of the tooth by removing the brown and yellow staining. While each work effectively, there are advantages and disadvantages to each procedure dependent upon your objectives and commitment to the processes. The type of procedures available should be discussed with Dr.Chiang, and he will recommend the most appropriate tooth whitening procedure for you.
White (Composite) fillings
When Dr. Chiang replaces an old silver filling, or he has to remove decay from the tooth, the tooth is prepared to accept the White Composite filling material. An adhesive is placed and the composite is layered directly onto your tooth-colored material matching the tooth so that it looks natural. The benefits of composite fillings are many.
