If you have been avoiding straightening your teeth because you don’t want to commit to months or even years of wearing an orthodontic treatment, call George A. Hoop, DDS at (239) 594-8817 to find out if we can give you the appearance of straight teeth with the help of dental veneers!
So you can spend less time driving, we have a North Naples, FL dentist office and a Fort Myers, FL dentist office. Regardless of which you visit, we can provide a broad selection of cosmetic dentistry options. To help you make the choices that suit your lifestyle needs and aspirations, we will review all of your options with you and answer any questions you may have.
Dental veneers are basically thin shells of tooth-colored material that we can attach to the front of teeth that are slightly crooked to make your pearly whites appear straighter. They can also be used to conceal an array of other smile flaws, including:

• Chips
• Minor cracks
• Small gaps between teeth
• Teeth that are worn-down or otherwise misshapen
• Stains and discoloration

And if you’re worried about paying for dental veneers, you’ll be happy to know that we offer our very own Direct Dental Savings Plan. As part of this plan, you’ll enjoy many benefits, including discounts on cosmetic dentistry treatments that dental insurance doesn’t usually cover. For example, if you take advantage of this plan, you’ll get a 20 percent discount on dental veneers!

Get A Dramatically Improved Smile With Dental Veneers

We know how self-conscious even minor alignment issues can make a person feel. But imagine walking into a dentist, getting your treatment plan, and then returning just one other time to get dental veneers, as well as a major boost to your self-confidence.
As far as cosmetic dental treatments go, few can have as dramatic an effect on your appearance as quickly as dental veneers. They really are an amazing option for people with a variety of smile flaws.
If you are choosing to use dental veneers as a form of “instant orthodontics,” your teeth can only be so crooked. This is because dental veneers don’t actually straighten teeth. Instead, they just make your teeth look straight. If your teeth are significantly misaligned, you may be better off using one of our other excellent orthodontic options. No matter your situation, we’ll find the treatment that works for you!
In order to get dental veneers placed, your teeth will also need to be healthy and strong. While dental veneers can strengthen teeth in certain situations, they are first and foremost intended as a cosmetic dentistry service.
So you will know precisely what to expect if you get dental veneers from us, we will review the process with you. Depending on your teeth and the type of dental veneers you get, we will likely be able to perform the whole process in just two visits.
During your initial visit, we will use advanced dental technology and special methods to carefully measure your teeth. This will allow us to ensure your dental veneers fit your teeth just right and help us plan their placement.
When you return to our office for your second visit, we will make room for your dental veneers and smooth the surface they’ll be applied to by removing a small amount of your enamel. Then, we will bond your dental veneers in place and make any necessary final adjustments.
We may provide an anesthetic to numb your mouth. We also offer various comfort options to help you relax during your procedure and overall visit.
Because every patient is unique, we offer a few different brands and/or materials when it comes to dental veneers, including:

• Lumineers, which are so thin they often do not require any removal of tooth enamel
• e.max, which are a little thicker than Lumineers but are still a great option
• All-porcelain dental veneers, which closely resemble the natural translucence of enamel

We’ll review the respective advantages of each material with you so you can weigh your options. If you have any questions at all, just let one of our friendly, knowledgeable team members know!

In comparison to other tooth replacement options, dental implants boast many advantages. Whether you get dental implants for dentures in your upper or lower jaw or both for a full-mouth reconstruction, you’ll benefit from their perks. Because dental implants literally fuse to jawbone through a process called osseointegration, they can:

• Replenish up to 90 percent of the chewing power of your natural chompers
• Help prevent jawbone deterioration so you can look younger with dentures and avoid a “sunken in” look
• Last for many, many years or even the rest of your life with proper care

That’s a lot of benefits of dental implants! You may be wondering which ones we intended to count as the “three major perks” mentioned in this blog title. Consider the other advantages a bonus and keep reading to learn three more impressive benefits of dental implant dentures.

Choose The Benefits Of Dental Implant Dentures

Given that dentures have been such a trusted restorative dentistry option for so long, you may be wondering why securing them with dental implants is so advantageous. Well as great as dentures can be, if you’ve ever had them or know someone who has, you also probably know about some of their minor drawbacks.
One thing that is great about dental implant dentures compared to traditional dentures is that they are very easily cared for. Instead of removing your dentures each night to let them soak while you sleep, you’ll just brush your teeth twice a day and floss once daily as you would with natural teeth.
Of course, you’ll also need to visit a dentist every six months for a routine dental cleaning and exam to ensure you are maintaining good oral hygiene, but as far as replacement teeth maintenance goes, it doesn’t get much easier than dental implant dentures.
Secondly, dental implant dentures do not require any messy adhesives like traditional dentures do. We’ll secure your dentures to your dental implants and that’s all you’ll need to keep them in place.
Many patients with traditional dentures worry about their teeth coming loose when they are eating, laughing, or speaking. Others dislike the way traditional dentures and the adhesive that they require affect your sense of taste. But with dental implant dentures, you won’t have to worry about either of these issues!
And finally, because of the firm hold that they provide, dental implant dentures also give you much more freedom in what you eat compared to traditional dentures. With dental implant dentures, you’ll be able to chomp into a crisp apple or a juicy steak without fear of your teeth coming loose.
By getting dental implant dentures, you’ll be choosing convenience, security, and freedom. To learn more about their advantages, visit us for a consultation soon!
Even if your jaw bone is not strong, dense, or thick enough for dental implants, we may still be able to help you by placing mini dental implants. These work just like traditional dental implants but are thinner in diameter. They can still be used to attach dentures in many cases. Learn your options today! We’ll do everything we can to make your visits as pleasant as possible!
