Cosmetic Dental Transformations

Posted on November 9, 2018 by Mirelez Wellness Dental

People in all walks of life are enjoying the lasting benefits of cosmetic dentistry from Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno. A stunning smile not only looks great, it makes you feel great!

When you first look in the mirror in the morning while brushing those gleaming babies, you remember; “Oh yeah, I fixed my teeth and they look amazing!”

When you smile at old friends or make new ones, you are happy to show off your new dazzling grin. When you are in a professional setting speaking with colleagues or clients, you feel poised and self-assured.

We have talked about different cosmetic and restorative dental procedures available in previous blog articles, but let’s review the most common.

Porcelain veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that adhere to teeth. Porcelain veneers are sturdy and have the translucency of natural teeth. They correct chips, stains and misaligned teeth that do not require orthodontia. There are several companies that produce veneers.

Crowns correct more extensive tooth troubles. They are used in a variety of situations such as the final restoration following a root canal or to restore teeth damaged by decay, injury, or gum disease.

A dental implant is often the most appropriate replacement for a missing tooth. They are becoming a popular alternative to a dental bridge or partial dentures, especially among middle-aged professionals and men and women in the public eye.

Bridges are another strong, natural-looking replacement for one or more missing teeth. They have been used with success for many years.

Professional teeth whitening is the least invasive and speediest way to brighten your smile several shades.

Say Goodbye To Old Amalgam Fillings

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Mirelez Wellness Dental

Can you remember what your teeth looked like before you had your first cavity? When you opened your mouth to laugh or yawn, the people with you could see only pearly white molar surfaces. Then you got some cavities, and fillings – silver fillings. At Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno, you can replace those unsightly silver fillings with white fillings.

Those old-style amalgam fillings were a staple of traditional dentistry for decades. Mirelez Wellness Dental is a holistic practice, and as such recognize that the mercury in those amalgam fillings is a toxin. Even small amounts of it can pose a risk to your overall health. Therefore, we don’t use them.

The white fillings we use are made of plastic and ceramic. They are commonly referred to as composite fillings. They can be used to fill cavities, just like traditional silver fillings. They’re durable, and because they can be made to match the color of your teeth, are all but undetectable to the naked eye.

Some will tell you that the jury is still out on the safety of silver fillings. After all, the World Health Organization and the American Dental Association have not come out against them. As a holistic practice, we cannot overlook the fact that they contain toxic material.

At Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno, we provide family dentistry are committed to being a mercury-free practice. Schedule your next appointment with us today.

Versatile Veneers For A Vivid Smile

Posted on October 26, 2018 by Mirelez Wellness Dental

Have you ever wished you could quickly attach perfectly shaped, dazzling white front surfaces to your teeth? Guess what? With porcelain veneers from Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno, you can!

Porcelain veneer are one of the most versatile items in a cosmetic dentist’s toolbox. Veneers turn unattractive smiles into sensational smiles with minimal disruption to existing tooth structure. They are quicker and usually less expensive than complete crowns but are made with the same durable, translucent porcelain.

It’s no that wonder that a very large percentage of men and women in the public eye have porcelain veneers. An actress can receive a veneer in the morning and appear on a talk show with a new smile that evening. A supermodel can permanently remedy a discolored tooth quick and pose for photos right after leaving her dental office. A local television news anchor can have his teeth perfectly aligned in a couple hours and report the news that same day.

At Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno, we have placed hundreds of veneers —alone, and in combination with crowns, dental implants, and other cosmetic dentistry procedures. The results are dramatic. Perhaps you should consider veneers as the best way to achieve your stunning smile.

Dental Miracles Seen And Unseen At Mirelez Wellness Dental

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Mirelez Wellness Dental

Dental work can be extremely visible. Think porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and teeth whitening. Today, however, let’s highlight some purposefully unseen procedures, available from Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno, that can contribute to a healthy, dazzling smile.

This blog post reviews three state-of-the art cosmetic dental treatments: white fillings, invisible braces, and dental implants.

White Fillings
White fillings, or invisible fillings, are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color. These are out of strong composite resins and porcelains. We use them as part of our commitment to holistic dentistry. White fillings are mercury-free, and therefore much healthier for you.

Invisible Braces
Orthodontia has become less visible with the availability of invisible braces. We offer several types: Clear Correct braces, which are removable; Six Month Smiles, and Inman Aligners.

Dental Implants
The crown of a dental implant is visible. But the critical part—the part that makes them so much stronger than a dental bridge—is anchored into your jawbone. A titanium post secures your restoration to offer the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth.

At Mirelez Wellness Dental we are dedicated to creating appealing smiles for our valued dental patients. Call us today to schedule a consultation.

Is Perfect Possible?

Posted on October 12, 2018 by Mirelez Wellness Dental

Are you contemplating a smile makeover? Are you skeptical of promises of a “perfect smile” or a “celebrity smile?” Let’s talk about cosmetic dentistry procedures from Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno, and the results that can be expected.

Porcelain Veneers

The application of porcelain veneers can remedy multiple aesthetic dental troubles and for many, is a better answer than dental bonding.

Veneers can correct chips, cracks, minor tooth misalignment, tooth discoloration, unattractive tooth shape, and disproportionate tooth size. Can a porcelain veneer create a perfect tooth? While a veneer cannot correct a decayed tooth, it can turn an unappealing tooth into an aesthetically perfect tooth.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment that dramatically improves a smile. At Mirelez Wellness Dental, we only recommend teeth whitening for patients who are good candidates for the process. If you have several crowns in the front of your mouth, or gums that have receded, conventional whitening may not brighten your smile.

These are just a few of the cosmetic dentistry procedures available at Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno, that can give you a perfect smile. Please visit our smile gallery for examples of what we can do. Schedule an appointment with us today.

Smile Perfection

Posted on October 5, 2018 by Mirelez Wellness Dental

At Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno, we are passionate about perfection, and strive to create perfect smiles for our smile redesign patients.

Here are some of the cosmetic dentistry procedures we use in smile makeovers:

Implant Dentistry
Dental implants are the ultimate tooth restoration available anywhere. A dental implant consists of a metal post that is inserted into your jawbone. The post replaces the root of the missing tooth.

After a few months, it meshes with your jawbone to provide the durability and integrity of a natural tooth. A base and beautiful crown is permanently attached to the post. For most patients with missing teeth, it is the preferred restoration. Implants can also be used to attach dentures and partial dentures for unprecedented no-slip implant/denture combos.

Dental Crowns
A mainstay of cosmetic dentistry, dental crowns are more beautiful than ever. New fabrication technologies and materials have improved the aesthetics and strength of this restorative option.

Veneers
A veneer is a more conservative treatment than a full crown. This is a good choice for people whose teeth are structurally sound, but have unsightly problems such as discoloration, chips, cracks, or imperfect shape.

Inlays/Onlays
Inlays and onlays (indirect fillings) are designed and designed using dental CAD/CAM software. These fillings are strong, attractive, and precisely fitted to the cavity.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is the crowning touch for a dazzling smile. (It’s the only thing you need if you are a fortunate enough to have perfectly-shaped and aligned teeth.)

Cosmetic dentistry from Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno goes a long way toward creating a perfect smile. No one in has to live with dull or stained teeth! We are a holistic practice. Make an appointment with us today.

Smart Brushing Beats Aggressive Brushing

Posted on September 28, 2018 by Mirelez Wellness Dental

Most of our patients at Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno brush their teeth (at least we hope so). However, there are many who brush improperly but don’t realize that their dental hygiene practices may be contributing to oral problems.

They may pride themselves on their daily dental hygiene, but frequency does not make up for an incorrect technique. One of the most common errors—especially for teenagers—is quick, aggressive teeth cleaning with a hard bristle toothbrush.

There is a certain logic to this treatment; when you want to clean smooth surfaces like bathroom tiles, you scrub with a hard brush, right? The difference is that teeth and gums require a certain finesses. While enamel is strong, the soft tissues in the mouth are not designed for intense scouring.

If you use hard bristles against possible cavity makers, froth at the mouth, speed through those 30 inches of tooth surface, and spit everything out in less than a minute, this post is for you.

Effects of Quick, Hard Brushing:

Tooth decay caused by plaque that results from inadequate cleaning
Damage to teeth through abrasion
Weakened enamel
Tooth sensitivity
Gum recession
Damage to existing dental work
Tartar build-up

Smart Brushing Beats Aggressive Brushing:

Plaque is soft enough to scratch off with a fingernail, so brush accordingly with soft bristles
Angling the toothbrush is easy and cleans effectively
Proper tooth brushing can prolong that wonderful professional-cleaning feel
Flossing is easier without sore, bleeding gums

At Mirelez Wellness Dental in Fresno CA, we promote dental health via smart brushing. We are a holistic practice, providing family dentistry. Make an appointment with us today.

Not Too Late To Get Them Straight

Posted on September 21, 2018 by Mirelez Wellness Dental

Are you an adult with misaligned teeth? Do you regret not having orthodontic treatment when you were a teen? It’s not too late to straighten your teeth – and there are more types of clear braces available than ever before.

Perhaps you are not familiar with the latest developments. Here is a quick rundown of the most common types used in cosmetic dental practices.

If you don’t want the whole world to know you are wearing braces, ‘behind the teeth’ or lingual braces may be a good option. So-called ‘invisible braces’ work great for many Fresno men and women of all ages. Some types of braces are offered in ceramic, which are also less visible than metal braces. These are often called ‘clear braces.’

ClearCorrect braces are one of the most popular types. They look much like an athlete’s mouth guard. People love them because they are removable for meals and when you floss and brush. They don’t need to be worn around the clock, but they do need to be worn most of the day and night.

Six Month Smiles are another type of clear braces. These are similar to traditional braces, but are made with clear and tooth-colored materials to make them less conspicuous.

Once the orthodontia patient has completed treatment, he or she needs to wear a retainer to keep those newly-aligned teeth in place. The traditional Hawley retainer consists of a metal wire that surrounds the teeth and holds them in line. Clear retainers that fit teeth like a glove are coming into vogue.

ClearCorrect braces and Six Month Smiles are both available from Mirelez Wellnes in Fresno. Schedule a consultation with us today.
