Veneers |
 A
veneer is a thin shell of porcelain or plastic that
is bonded to a tooth to improve its color and shape.
A veneer generally covers only the front and top of
a tooth. Veneers can be used to close spaces between
teeth, lengthen small or misshapen teeth, or whiten
stained or dark teeth. When teeth are chipped or beginning
to wear, veneers can protect them from damage and restore
their original appearance. TOP

| Dental
Implants |
 Dental
Implants are small prosthetic posts that are placed
into the bone of the upper or lower jaw. They act as
replacements for the root portion of lost natural teeth
and also serve as an anchor for replacement teeth. Dental
implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth –
in fact, no-one will be able to tell the difference.
They stay permanently in the mouth and are never removed.
Dental implants are appropriate for almost anyone who
is currently missing teeth or is at risk of losing teeth.
Dental implants can give back patients their confident
smile. The benefits include improved appearance, speech
and comfort. Also chewing is improved. TOP |

| Bleaching
and Teeth Whitening |
  One
of the easiest ways to brighten your smile is with professional
whitening. A recent survey said that over 30% of people
have tried at least one of the many offerings that the
drugstore has available. But the drugstore’s strips
and gels are no match for the professional results you
get with Dr. Freyman. One hour ZOOM whitening (as seen
in “Extreme Makeover” television series)
is available with Dr. Freyman, while whitening using
customized trays is also available at an affordable
fee. Professional whitening with Dr. Freyman has a high
success rate and lasts longer than the over-the-counter
brands. TOP |

| Invisalign
the Invisible way to Straighten your Teeth |
 Crooked
teeth can lead to a variety of problems from plaque
buildup to wear and tear. Invisalign allows us to straighten
your teeth without using wires and brackets of traditional
braces. Clear, removable aligners gradually reposition
teeth which is more visually appealing than braces.
You can remove them for easy cleaning after eating.
The aligners are comfortable and smooth and won’t
irritate your gums, cheek or tongue. Any allergic reactions
to metal is eliminated. TOP |

| Bonding
and Tooth Colored Fillings |
 With
bonding, we can close spaces between teeth, lengthen
small or misshapen teeth, or whiten stained or dark
teeth. We can shape and color a single tooth, or improve
your entire smile. When teeth are chipped or beginning
to wear, bonding can protect them from damage and restore
their original looks. TOP |

| Gum-Lift
|
 We
all admire big beautiful pearly-whites, but a lot of
people have to settle for small ones. Or do they they?
Dr. Freyman can lift the gum line and reduce the amount
of gums that are shown when you smile. This will reveal
more of your smile that is hiding behind your gums.
You’ll smile bigger and with more self-confidence
knowing people are noticing your beautiful teeth instead
of your gums.

| Reshaping
of Teeth |
 Teeth
contouring and reshaping corrects crooked, chipped and
overlapping teeth. Spacing issues and pointy teeth can
also be remedied by this process. Excessive parts of
the teeth are removed and a laminate is used to fill
in the areas of the teeth thus giving them a recognizable
structure. This is referred to as tooth sculpting and
it’s easy to see the resemblance. The process
will round out pointy teeth, reduce the length of lower
teeth and reduce the width of teeth that overlap others.
The process results in smoother and more evenly spaced
teeth.

| Porcelain
Inlays/Onlays |
 Porcelain
Inlays and Onlays are porcelain restorations which provide
greater support for teeth than directly placed "fillings".
Porcelain inlays make for stronger restorations because
these fillings bond to the walls of the tooth, where
as the old silver fillings are condensed into the tooth,
thus making it weaker. The inlays are cemented in place
and help hold the remaining natural tooth structure
together. Also, because they are fabricated in a lab
to a model of the tooth, inaccuracies in materials are
taken into account for better fitting and longer lasting
restoration results. TOP |

| All
Porcelain Crowns |
 Crowns
are used when simply filling a tooth would leave it
weak and vulnerable to cracking, or when making cosmetic
improvements to the teeth is the goal. It surrounds
the tooth, giving it strength and providing a strong,
durable biting surface. Crowns are often used when large
fillings wear out, when a tooth cracks, when a cavity
is especially large, and after a root canal procedure.
A filling does not strengthen a tooth, and if there
is not enough tooth structure remaining, the tooth an
crack or break. Filling a large cavity may leave too
little tooth structure to provide enough support. A
root canal procedure removes a great deal of material
from the center of the tooth. This leaves the tooth
weak and vulnerable to failure. A crown surrounds the
tooth, permanently stabilizing and strengthening the
tooth. With all-porcelain crowns, the result is a natural
look without a base-metal line at the gum-line.

| Fixed
Bridges |
 A
bridge is a dental appliance that replaces one or more
natural missing teeth thereby "bridging" the
space between two teeth. Fixed bridges are cemented
into place on the surrounding teeth on either side of
the space, or "span". Unlike removable partial
dentures, fixed bridges cannot be taken out of the mouth
by the patient. A bridge is the most natural choice
to fill the space in your mouth left by missing teeth.
If left unfilled, this space can cause the surrounding
teeth to drift out of position and can cause teeth and
gums to become more susceptible to tooth decay and gum
disease that can cause further tooth loss. Fixed bridges
not only correct an altered bite, improve your chewing
ability and speech, but they also safeguard your appearance
by preventing the collapse of your facial features that
can cause premature wrinkles and age lines. TOP |

| Dentures:
Mini-Implant & Implant Supported |
 Mini-implants
are created to dramatically improve the comfort and
fit of dentures for those patients wearing dentures,
the mini-implant is happily 50% less expensive than
conventional implants. Placed in a one-hour visit using
local anesthesia, the mini-implant is ready for immediate
use and helps dentures fit tighter and become more stable
by the time you leave the office.

| Non-Surgical
Gum Treatment |
 Periodontal
(gum) disease is a condition in which bacteria attack
the gum and bone tissues that surround and support teeth.
It is an infection that destroys the gums and bone and
can result in tooth loss. The bacteria in plaque create
toxins that irritate the gums causing them to become
red and swollen. The gums will bleed easily during brushing
and flossing. If not removed, the plaque will eventually
harden to form calculus (tartar). The gums become even
more inflamed. The toxins will eventually destroy the
gum tissue attachment to the tooth forming pockets between
the tooth and gums. Eventually, the bone that supports
the teeth is destroyed. Treatment begins with scaling
to remove plaque and tartar that is below the gumline.
The area is made numb by the use of a strong local anesthetic.
The surfaces are then smoothed or planed so the gum
tissue can reattach to the tooth. TOP |

Dental Appliances for snoring, night grinding and TMJ
treatment |
 People
who gring their teeth at night with 7-10 times more
force that during the day.
Night Guards for TMJ
Night Guards for Night-Time Tooth Grinding and Clenching
Night Guards prevent worn teeth from nighttime tooth
grinding and clenching from stress. Many people suffer
from tender or painful jaw joints and muscles due to
clenching and grinding their teeth, especially while
sleeping. A comfortable appliance can be worn to protect
the teeth and reduce bone loss and TMJ dysfunction.
 Anti-Snoring
Appliance
An Anti-Snoring Appliance is a comfortable oral appliance
that stops snoring during sleep. Snoring occurs when
there is constriction at the back of the throat causing
restriction in airflow and therefore vibration resulting
in noise. People who snore often feel sleepy the next
morning due to insufficient oxygen reaching the brains.
People will feel tired during the day, irritable,
have poor memory and headaches. The noise from snoring
causes their spouse to have difficulty sleeping beside
them. Some people wake up with a dry and painful throat
the next morning. This appliance allows the upper
airway to remain open and allows the patient to breathe
more naturally while sleeping. TOP

Dentistry |

Drill Dentistry technology allows dentists to remove
cavities virtually painlessly. Because there is no drilling,
rarely is there a need for anesthetic injection! “Air
Abrasion” utilizes a high-speed stream of air
with a superfine powder to painlessly spray away tooth
decay. Air abrasion systems produce no vibration and
no heat from friction. The technology can't harm soft
mouth tissue and they operate very quietly. Because
air abrasion cuts tooth surfaces with the utmost precision,
it removes less tooth than the drill and it reduces
the risk of enamel micro-fracturing. In other words,
the advantages are more of your tooth is preserved,
there is little or no discomfort, no anesthetic numbness
is needed, and treatment time is usually shorter.

| Root
Canals |
 Inflamed
or infected pulp most often causes a tooth ache. To
relieve the pain and prevent further complications,
the tooth may be saved by root canal treatment. A root
canal cleans, shapes and seals the space from tissue
fluids where bacterial infection can live. Once the
root canal treatment is performed, a crown is placed
over the tooth to protect it. TOP |
|
| Extractions
|
 We
always try to save a tooth rather than do an extraction.
However, if a tooth cannot be restored, as a last resort,
we would extract the tooth. Dr. Freyman will make sure
the tooth is thoroughly numb for your comfort. Dr. Freyman
is experienced in extracting simple as well as surgical
extractions, including most impacted wisdom teeth. TOP |
