Cosmetic Dentistry

The impact of a beautiful smile cannot be ignored. We’ve all met that person whose smile demanded our attention and left us dazzled. And all of us, if we’re honest, want that dazzling smile as well. Every day, modern dentistry makes that wish a reality for people who refuse to settle for less. At the office of Dr. Andros, restorative techniques today are aimed at preserving and conserving your natural teeth; gone are the days of the dull-gray appearance and out-dated metal fillings. Our focus is on recreating nature’s own handiwork and in turn fulfilling our patient’s wishes. We can do the same for you.

Teeth Whitening – whiter teeth can have a dramatic effect on improving one’s smile and the safe, professional options today provide even greater results.

• Take Home System/ Nite White ACP - a fast, safe, and the most effective at-home system on the market today that actually builds enamel on the teeth while whitening them
• In Office/ Zoom – for the patient who needs whiter teeth immediately for that special occasion; this state of the art, light-activated whitening procedure takes about an hour with one visit to the office
• In Office/ Deep BleachingTM – the ultimate whitening system for patients who have severe discoloration of the teeth and in many cases had given up hope for a whiter, attractive smile. Other patients, who demand the whitest teeth possible and are willing to invest more, take advantage of the Deep BleachingTM system as well; you can expect 2 to 3 office visits for this procedure

Bonding – normally requiring only one office visit and very affordable, an enamel-like resin material is molecularly bonded to your teeth, layer by layer, to form a durable, natural-like fusion

• Replacement of old, silver/mercury fillings - restores the tooth with biocompatible materials that look and feel more like your natural teeth
• Repair small chips, fractures, etc. – painless, without the need for local anesthesia , this normally requires only one visit
• Indirect Inlays & Onlays (Lab produced) – enamel-saving custom restorations for teeth, providing maximum strength and natural aesthetics, requiring 2 office visits

Metal-Free Porcelain Restorations – the highest quality available today, these restorations are the most natural-looking and natural-feeling, and offer superior strengthening properties

• All-Ceramic Crowns – natural-looking and blending in perfectly with the surrounding teeth, these crowns restore worn, broken teeth more effectively and are molecularly bonded, not cemented, leaving no darkened line near the gum
• Inlays & Onlays (Lab produced) – a breakthrough in restorative care helping save the natural tooth while recreating a whole, natural-looking and strengthened tooth.

Porcelain Veneers / Radiance VeneersTM – responsible for the “movie star” smile-transformation, these customized, life-like veneers combine the function, strength, and superior aesthetic quality necessary for the optimal smile-makeover

Using one of the premier ceramic labs in the country, the doctor is able to deliver with exclusivity, the finest porcelain veneers available to those patients seeking to dramatically improve their appearance.

Orthodontics – for some patients, straightening the teeth with braces can be the most effective option for a creating a beautiful smile, and today’s solutions can mean avoiding the stigma of bulky, unattractive wiring in the patient’s mouth

• Invisalign –nearly invisible, a series of clear aligners gradually move the teeth into their ideal smile position and are removable for dining, normal brushing and flossing, and at the patient’s discretion

Cosmetic Dentures/ Cosmetic Lifelike Denture™ – exclusively produced by one of the finest cosmetic laboratories, Dr. Andros is able to customize a more natural-looking denture that recreates life-like soft tissue coloring with tooth shading that matches current whitening trends

Implant Dentistry

A testament to modern dentistry’s evolution; dental implants are a permanent and durable alternative to bridges and dentures. Implants look and feel more like natural teeth and give the patient complete functionality. We can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or all of your teeth.

• Immediate Placement – this solution is also known as Teeth In An HourTM that was developed for people with no teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both; the process is cutting edge using a CT scan and virtual reality software that uses bridge implants and fully restores a patient’s teeth and smile in a one-hour procedure
• Replacing Dentures/ Partial Dentures – a permanent solution eliminating the soreness and discomfort associated with dentures, as well as the embarrassment and difficulty in eating certain foods; a liberating experience both physically and emotionally for the patient

Advanced Procedures

Modern dentistry is experiencing a revolution in the development of new technologies and procedures that can be offered today. The result is medical technology that now makes it possible for ALL patients to have the kind of smile they’ve always dreamed of. Dr. Andros has spent thousands of hours in advanced training over the last twenty years in order to perform these dental breakthroughs, and in turn transform his patient’s lives.

• Esthetic Crown Lengthening – many people suffering from what is commonly referred to as a “gummy smile”, an unattractive growth of the gums around the teeth, find relief and discover the true beauty of your smile with this procedure
• Gum Re-Contouring/ Re-Shaping – this laser procedure is used for the gummy smile and is often done concurrently with porcelain veneers, perfecting the gum line
• Bone Grafting & Tissue Regeneration – enables patients that lack the bone volume necessary for implants to become eligible as well; the tissue regeneration ensures the natural aesthetics for a strong, fully functional implant
  • After Tooth Removal – for many reasons, a great deal of us at some point will need a tooth removed and we can have greater dental options available to us, provided the dentist has optimized the extraction area’s foundation
  • Sinus Elevation – patients do not have to worry about being turned away by a less experienced dentist who is either unaware of this procedure or just unable to perform the bone enhancement procedure in the molar area of the upper jaw necessary for a successful implant, they can count on a complete, functional smile restoration
  • Block Grafts ( J-BlocksTM ) – a great advancement, these grafts can rebuild the jaw bone offering an excellent alternative to patients with severely deficient bone volume in the implant area, and eliminate the costly and invasive hospital visit necessary for surgically removing bone tissue from their hip
• TMJ/ TMD Diagnosis Therapy – with the proper diagnostic approach, surgery can almost always be avoided for those suffering from the discomfort of such symptoms as muscle tension, headaches, clicking/ popping sounds from the jaw, etc.
• Orthognathic Jaw Surgery – in certain cases enhancing facial characteristics and correcting the jaw position is the first step necessary to creating the perfect, functional smile; and it is the “team approach” taken by Dr. Andros with his national network of trusted and accomplished colleagues, that enables him to address, guide, and treat his patient’s every need.
