Cosmetic Dentistry has certainly changed over the years with modern dental technology changing every second of the day, and unless you have a cosmetic dentist who is up on the latest products and services available in the world of cosmetic dentistry, you may end up with a less than perfect smile.
If your cosmetic dentist in Orange County isn’t regularly attending seminars, conferences and classes on porcelain veneers, cosmetic dental bonding, invisible braces of any other cosmetic dental procedure, you could end up with a less than straight grin or veneers that are almost comical looking.
Dr. Jack Ringer from Dental Cosmetics in Anaheim Hills is an Accredited Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and prides himself on his continuing education. As a pioneer of the fine art of cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Ringer can give you a professional and personal evaluation of your smile.

The team from Dental Cosmetics in Orange County can evaluate your smile giving you their recommendations on the best procedures for your pearly whites.
Porcelain Veneers
These lifelike thin sheets of resin or porcelain are made in a laboratory to fit the fronts of your teeth. Because they need to resemble your own teeth a portion of your enamel needs to be removed allowing for a natural fit for the porcelain veneer. Because your enamel is removed, porcelain veneers are a permanent solution to your less than perfect smile.
If you are a suitable candidate for porcelain veneers, meaning that your teeth and gums are healthy, Dr. Ringer will prepare your teeth by removing some of your enamel, once removed, pictures and an impression will be taken so that the lab can create a custom veneer to fit your tooth or teeth perfectly. A color will be chosen that will closely match your natural shade. Because the porcelain veneer process takes two dental appointments, sometimes three, Dr. Ringer may or may not fit you with temporary dental veneers.
When your veneers are ready, Dr. Ringer will check your new veneers for fit before bonding permanently into place. Once bonded your new veneers will be polished to match the sheen of your natural teeth.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
This one day per tooth, or more depending on your needs, cosmetic dental procedure is the affordable way to a new smile. Cosmetic dental bonding can repair chips and cracks and restore old fillings. If you have a cavity in the front of your tooth, cosmetic dental bonding could be the answer. Dental bonding may also be the answer for that little space that has annoyed you your entire life.
Although dental bonding doesn’t last as long as veneers, it can be a good alternative if you aren’t sure about the permanence of porcelain veneers. Cosmetic dental bonding can last over five years if you take good care. Bonding is not as strong as porcelain veneers and can chip and crack if you put something in your mouth that you shouldn’t.
During the bonding process, a shade will be chosen from the shade guide to match your smile. Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Ringer and his team will etch the front or fronts of the teeth that are to be bonded. This is done before a liquid is applied that helps the bonding resin adhere to the tooth. Once the liquid is applied, the bonding material will be applied. Dr. Ringer will then sculpt the resin into the desired shape before curing it with a laser or light. After the tooth or teeth have hardened, the bonding will be polished and shined to match the rest of your teeth.
Invisible Braces
Taking the cosmetic dentistry world by storm, clear braces have revolutionized the way you straighten your teeth. Doing away with conventional wires and brackets, The Minimal Tooth Movement System® is the best way to straighten your crooked teeth in as little as six months. Most of Dr. Ringers MTM® patients have seen results in 12 to 18 months.
Although not everyone is a candidate for invisible clear aligners, MTM® could be the solution if the thought of old school braces makes you want to run the other way. However, remember that only a preferred MTM® provider can give you the results promised.
If you are a good fit for invisible braces, cosmetic dentist Dr. Ringer and his team will take digital pictures to design the perfect smile. Once satisfied with the results, your images will be sent to the MTM® lab where custom aligners will be made to fit your teeth.
By wearing the aligners 20 to 22 hours each day, only removing when you eat and drink, you can expect a straighter smile without the pain, discomfort, and hassle of conventional braces.
