Family Dental - Louis J. Feldman DDS, Cape May, NJ.
Everyone’s looking for the confidence that a radiant smile produces. If you want to look more attractive, flourish socially, and be more successful, a new smile may be for you. We offer a variety of cosmetic dental procedures: including crowns, bridges, veneers, and bleaching.
Veneers/Laminates
Do you think your teeth would look better if someone just wiped the slate clean? Veneers are thin coverings that are placed over the front (visible) part of the tooth. They look like natural teeth. They can correct the appearance of stains, chips, breaks and cracks, filings, and oddly shaped or permanently discolored teeth.
Conceal damages or defects on the fronts and sides of your teeth and look ageless with a new set of veneers.
Dentures
There’s no doubt that gaps left by missing teeth can make you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. Even normal everyday tasks such as smiling, laughing and eating can become unpleasant. Not only can missing teeth have an impact on your confidence, it can also cause physical issues with teeth moving, due to the gap and space created by missing teeth forming an unwanted angle.
Whether you want to replace only a few teeth or all of your teeth, we have several options available to help you gain confidence back in your smile and enjoy eating all the foods you love again!
Orthodontics
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and found your self wanting straighter teeth, we are here to help. The benefits of straight teeth are more than just a pretty smile. Did you know that misaligned teeth can lead to oral health problems? It’s true. Teeth that are crooked or crowded, along with any bite issues that are left uncorrected can make oral care and hygiene difficult. Misaligned teeth and improper bites can sometimes lead to: tooth damage and chipping, tooth loss, wearing away of tooth enamel, and difficulty chewing or speaking.
Dr. Feldman can help you get the look you want with Sure Smile Aligners. SureSmile® Aligners are designed using advanced software to ensure they fit comfortably and deliver the exact tooth movements needed to achieve your ideal smile.
Crowns
If your tooth is unstable for any reason, Dr. Feldman can give you a crown that “caps” off the damaged tooth. Besides strengthening the tooth, a crown can improve its appearance, shape or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure to help you chew.
Bridges
A dental bridge works the same way as any other bridge. The posts are the teeth to either side of the missing tooth. We file down and cover these supporting teeth. In the middle of the two is a false tooth to replace your missing one.
Implantology
A dental implant is a surgical fixture that is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over the span of a few months. The dental implant acts as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. In turn, this “artificial tooth root” serves to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Having a dental implant fused to the jawbone is the closest thing to mimicking a natural tooth because it stands on its own without affecting the nearby teeth and has great stability.
