Tooth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures patients seek, and the treatment provides fast and effective results. Lightening discolorations caused by cigarettes, food, coffee, wine, and other caffeinated and alcoholic drinks, tooth whitening helps patients achieve a whiter smile in as little as a couple of days. Our cosmetic dentistry practice offers our Harrisonburg and Charlottesville, Virginia area patients the Nite White® system of tooth whitening. The Nite White® tooth whitening system uses a thick whitening solution that is applied by the patient when they are at home.
Nite White® can only be acquired and used under a dentist’s supervision. When patients decide tooth whitening is the best treatment to help them achieve their dental goals, Dr. Bream will fit them with a custom-made mouth tray. Patients apply the gel to the tray and wear it while they sleep. After each night, patients will notice a visible change in the color of their teeth. Most patients use the tooth whitening treatment for seven to 10 days and receive excellent whitening results. If you live in Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, or another area of Virginia and would like to undergo tooth whitening, contact the practice of cosmetic dentist Alan Bream, DDS, today.

Porcelain veneers are a versatile cosmetic dentistry solution that can correct a range of dental flaws in as little as one or two appointments. The procedure uses a porcelain material that is placed onto patients existing teeth to mask imperfections. Dr. Bream can use one or more porcelain veneers to help patients achieve the smile of their dreams. Whether you have crooked, chipped, gapped, or stained teeth, porcelain veneers can help improve these blemishes.
When our Harrisonburg and Charlottesville, Virginia area patients decide to have porcelain veneers placed, Dr. Bream will first remove some outer layers of your existing teeth to provide space for each veneer. The porcelain veneers are then applied to the teeth using a strong bonding material. Porcelain veneers are durable and long lasting and Dr. Bream will educate patients on how to best care for their new smile. And because the porcelain veneers are custom colored and shaped, your new and improved teeth will look natural and complement surrounding features.

Our practice uses Lumineers® by Cerinate® porcelain veneers. Lumineers® are extremely thin sheets of porcelain that require little or no removal of existing teeth. This provides patients with a more comfortable experience, and typically no anesthetic or numbing is required. Additionally, Lumineers® are proven to last up to 20 years so patients are assured their new, improved smile will last. Residents throughout Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, and Waynesboro, Virginia can achieve a gorgeous smile with porcelain veneers.

Porcelain crowns can be used to improve a tooth’s appearance while supporting its structure. Crowns are generally recommended to patients with a tooth that has undergone extensive damage and cannot be treated with a filling. When a tooth is severely deteriorated by decay and plaque, an ordinary filling may not be enough to support the tooth. However, a porcelain crown provides strength in and around the tooth, preventing further injury to the affected area.

Dental bridges provide an excellent solution for patients with missing teeth. A bridge can be used to fill in the space left by missing teeth, improving both the function and appearance of teeth. If you decide to undergo this procedure, Dr. Bream will first prepare the teeth surrounding the missing space for a crown. Once the crowns are fit over existing teeth, the bridge will be attached, filling in the space left by missing teeth. At Bream Family Dental Care, we custom fabricate the bridge to match the color and shape of surrounding teeth, providing you with the most natural looking restoration possible.

Our practice uses Captek™ restorations for crowns and bridges to help patients achieve long lasting, natural looking results. This technologically advanced treatment incorporates the use of gold, the popular material used for dental restorations of the past. While patients and dentists have now moved away from gold restorations because of their appearance, gold is an excellent material because of its durability. Captek™ restorations use gold inside the crown or bridge for support, and porcelain on the outside to improve appearance. The final result is strong, longer lasting restorations that are also aesthetically pleasing.
