Your smile is very important. It plays a role in your self confidence and it makes your first impression, presenting your face to the world. When your teeth are stained, uneven or chipped your smile suffers.

In some cases, teeth whitening is the solution for stained or discolored teeth. But teeth whitening is not the solution for many. In many cases the best option is porcelain veneers.

Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or for teeth that are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked.
 
Veneers have a longer life expectancy and color stability than bonding, and highly resist permanent staining from coffee, tea, or even cigarette smoking.

If teeth whitening is not an option for you, or to repair chipped, uneven or gapped teeth, contact Oyster Point Dentistry in Newport News, VA.

If your teen needs braces, Invisalign might be the perfect solution. Invisalign is a comfortable, affordable and effective alternative to braces. Best of all, Invisalign is invisible, so your teen doesn’t have to worry about ugly braces. Using clear aligners, Invisalign is removable so your teen can take care of their teeth the way they have learned.

While Invisalign is not right for everyone, Oyster Point Dentistry can help determine if they are right for your teen. Invisalign can help with crowded teeth, spaced or crowded teeth and misaligned teeth. Similar to braces in cost, there are many advantages to Invisallign over braces.

Because there are no brackets or wires, your teen will have the self confidence they need from a healthy smile. With invisalign the aligners are removable. You can eat any foods and brushing and flossing are easier as well. The smooth plastic is more comfortable on your cheeks and gums than metal braces. And there are less office visits than with braces.

Contact Oyster Point Dental to see if Invisalign is right for your teen.
