Full mouth rejuvenation by Philadelphia Cosmetic Dentistry
Full mouth rejuvenation is just that - the complete revitalization of the smile.
Full mouth rejuvenation addresses the condition of the entire mouth, from the position of the bite to the health and appearance of the teeth and gums. It is a highly specialized procedure requiring state-of-the-art technology that is so advanced that there are a limited number of dentists trained to use it.
The process is entirely comfortable and begins with an evaluation of the bite, the foundation of the smile. Through sonography, Dr. Snyder can detect any noises in your jaw. These noises are reflective of destructive motion in your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and can be the cause of significant pain. With an advanced system called the Myotronics K7, your jaw placement will be measured when the muscles are relaxed, determining the most comfortable position for your bite.
Once jaw position is determined, the health and appearance of gums and teeth will be addressed. Any periodontal disease will be treated, helping the gums to reattach to your teeth. Any decay will be removed. Metal fillings will be replaced with porcelain restorations. Broken, chipped or worn teeth will be repaired. Missing teeth will be replaced. All restorations will be completed to raise or lower your jaw to achieve the most relaxed position.
The result will be a beautiful white smile that is as comfortable and functional as it is attractive. What a rejuvenating experience!
Porcelain Veneers & Crowns by Philadelphia Cosmetic Dentistry
A Smile So Natural
No One Will Know!
When you smile, you want people to notice. But you want them to notice for the right reasons. If you're considering full mouth rejuvenation or even a simple smile design, you've probably wondered if the results will look obvious.
Today's aesthetic dentistry relies on many principles driven by art as well as science. Dr. Snyder pays close attention to the proportions of your existing bone structure, as well as your skin tone, eye and hair color. All these factors will help her to create a smile for you that looks completely natural.
Modern materials used in smile makeovers are not only safe and strong, they look like your natural teeth.
All-porcelain veneers and crowns function just like natural teeth. Restorations of the past were made of porcelain that was adhered to a metal base. These veneers could create a dark shadow at the gum line. And because metal reflects the light, the veneers made the teeth look flat and unnatural.
All porcelain veneers are shaded to match your smile (so they blend with your natural color), shaped and sized to complement your features (so your teeth aren't too big) and are translucent for a natural look. Even inlays and onlays used in restorations are created to match your natural tooth color.
A smile makeover can take years off of your appearance, boost your self-confidence and increase your self-esteem. Best of all, your smile will look completely natural, as if you were born with it.
People will notice. For the right reasons.
Crown Technology & Philadelphia Cosmetic Dentistry
Say Goodbye to Those Ugly Black Lines, Dark Teeth & Swollen Gums
You've seen those black lines at the top of crowns that look very unnatural. There are several reasons why this happens. The lines can be caused by metal under the crown that that blocks natural light from the tooth. It can be from earlier trauma to a tooth that has deadened the tooth and turned it dark. Or it can be from a reaction of the gums to the metal around the crown. Many people have metal reactions that cause the gums to swell, but the swelling is blamed on poor hygiene or gum disease. All of these problems can be treated by new techniques that utilize all porcelain restorations.
Non-Metal Fillings
Living Metal-Free
Times and dentistry have changed. Today, when it comes to your teeth and your health, you should insist on metal-free dentistry. Whether restoring a tooth to health or replacing an existing metal filling, there are a variety of non-metal restorations available.
The options in tooth colored restorations range from composite resins for smaller fillings to porcelain onlays and crowns for larger restorations. An onlay is like a smaller version of a crown where more natural tooth structure is left untouched and intact. The benefit to any of these is that they protect fragile tooth structure and are chemically bonded to your tooth restoring it back to up to 97% of its original healthy strength.
The reasons for choosing metal-free restorations are quite compelling: safety, strength and appearance. Today, silver mercury (metal) amalgams are obsolete. If you have old metal fillings, or even if you have new ones, your teeth and your health are at risk.
Not only do metal fillings detract from the appearance of the teeth, turning them dark and gray, but they also damage the teeth they′re meant to protect!
Metal fillings expand and contract with temperature changes. This movement weakens and cracks teeth. It also creates a space between the tooth wall and the filling, allowing bacteria to enter, causing decay that your dentist can′t see, not even on an x-ray until it gets bigger. Worse yet, there is much controversy over the hazard of amalgams with studies that show that they leach mercury toxins for up to 20 years!

Both BriteSmile and ZOOM! are highly effective in treating years of harsh staining from tea, coffee and soda drinking, smoking or even childhood tetracycline stains. A dark smile makes you look older than you are, and who wants that?
In one hour, BriteSmile or ZOOM! can transform your stained, discolored smile to one that is up to nine shades whiter! The BriteSmile and ZOOM! treatments are safe, simple and comfortable. Once you are settled in a comfortable chair, a gentle hydrogen-peroxide whitening gel is applied to your teeth. Then a special blue light activates the whitening agent.
