Ultra Thin Lumineers - Ultra Thin Lumineers can give patients brand-new smiles with all-ceramic porcelain veneers that look and feel natural. However, unlike traditional porcelain veneer placement, Lumineers do not require any significant removal of tooth structure. In just two visits, you can straighten and whiten your teeth, as well as fill gaps in your smile. As thin as contact lenses, Lumineers provide a less invasive option for improving your smile without the drilling, anesthesia, or tooth removal involved with conventional porcelain veneers. Over time, and with proper maintenance and at-home care, your Lumineers will maintain their beauty, and are proven to last for over 20 years. |
Dental Implants - Dental implants are among the most successful procedures in dentistry to replace missing teeth. They are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth as there is a functional connection with the implant and the jaw bone. Implants are typically placed in a single sitting but require a period of osseointegration, which takes place over a three- to six-month period. After which Dr. Armento will painlessly place a natural looking crown so your smile can be free of spaces. Implants are also used to secure dentures, so that they snap into place, allowing for greater stability and function while eating or talking. If you have been hiding your smile, or simply have trouble eating food, don’t hesitate to replace your missing teeth with implants. |
Porcelain Crowns - With old technology, crowns were made with an underlying metal foundation. This made their appearance seem fake and unnatural. Today crowns can be made with pure porcelain so that your teeth can look lifelike. That way you never have to worry about the black line that appears around the gum tissue of older crowns. All porcelain crowns can be used to strengthen teeth that have been heavily restored with silver fillings, or can be used to replace old crowns so your smile can be rejuvenated. |

They are made from a biocompatible, nonallergenic nylon material with the right amount of flexibility to allow the denture to fit securely and comfortably into place.

This safe and effective procedure can lighten teeth by as much as six to ten shades, making it much faster than wearing bleaching trays or strips that require multiple days of use.

Composite Restorations - Composite restorations are white fillings that are exclusively used in Dr. Armento’s office. There are many advantages to repairing teeth with this material. Composites require less removal of tooth structure than silver fillings, thereby maintaining the overall health and longevity of the tooth. Because they are a resin, and not metal, there is less thermal sensitivity from the tooth. Composites come in various shades of white, ensuring a perfect match to your own tooth giving it a natural appearance. They can also be used to replace old, worn, silver fillings to prevent future fractures from occurring. |
