Modern cosmetic dentistry techniques and materials makes it easier than ever to achieve your perfect smile. Cosmetic dentistry procedures tend to have a focus on improving the quality and appearance of your smile. This does not mean great cosmetic results won't also equal great functional results. The goal of dental care is to meld function and esthetics into one to achieve your idea of a perfect smile.

Cosmetic dentistry has increased in popularity worldwide year after year. Treatments like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers are now mainstream.

Below we will talk about some of the cosmetic dentistry benefits.

Improved Dental Materials

Cosmetic dentistry materials and techniques continue to evolve. Modern dental materials like porcelain, titanium, and dental resin are highly durable but also offer excellent esthetic properties.

Esthetic Orthodontics

Invisalign clear aligners are a great cosmetic alternative to traditional braces. Since the aligners are clear and they can be removed for eating/dental hygiene they are the "clear" choice for young and older adults. 

Social Media-Worthy Smile

The modern world of social media moves fast with trends changing all the time. One thing that doesn't change is people want to look and feel their best. In the age of selfies, this is even more important.

Cosmetic dentist Marielaina Perrone DDS can whiten your teeth, change their shape and appearance, and even use Botox injections, which results in a very attractive, social media-ready smile. Studies show that cosmetic dentistry can help to boost your self-confidence and improve your mental health.

Leave A Great Impression

Dental Health For A Bright Smile

Having a healthy mouth is very important. It benefits your physical and mental health, as well as your smile. Fortunately, it is quite easy to maintain a healthy mouth. All you need to do is to stick to healthy dental hygiene.

Dental care extends beyond our smile. It needs to extend to your gums as well. Gum disease is a serious, progressive, and common dental health issue. Because gum disease tends to be pain-free in the beginning, most people are not even aware they have it. 

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease (also called periodontal disease), is a progressive dental disease caused by plaque and bacteria. The disease of left untreated will destroy your teeth and gums and damage the bones of the jaws.

In its earliest stages (gingivitis), gum disease will present as swollen and reddish gums along with bleeding upon brushing and flossing. Gingivitis is reversible with proper care, the next stage is not. As the disease progresses further, it leads to increased destruction and is called periodontitis..

Periodontitis leads to gum tissue recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss.

Gum Disease Prevention Tips

Maintain  A Good Oral Hygiene Regimen

Brush at least two times a day. Try to get in the habit, when possible, to brush after every meal. It is important to brush your tongue as well because it can harbor harmful bacteria. You should choose a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the oral tissues. You should also floss at least once per day to reach areas your toothbrush alone cannot reach.

Use Fluoride

Use a fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth. Fluoride is the most significant toothpaste ingredient. Fluoride helps strengthen the tooth's enamel.

Avoid Smoking

Smoking is extremely harmful to your oral health. Smoking will help the development of periodontalndisease by weakening your immune system. Smoking can also lead to oral cancer.

 

Avoid Sugary Food And Drink

Avoid sugary foods and drinks. Sugar is the food that allows the harmful bacteria to wreak havoc on your dental health.

Maintain Regular Dental Visits

Regular dental examinations and professional cleanings are vital to the health of your smile. Your dentist can detect any issues before they become an extensive problem and can also monitor how you are maintaining your smile at home

PDO Smooth Threads For Anti Aging

PDO smooth threads are a type of anti aging treatment. The action of these PDO threads stimulates the production of collagen to help the skin naturally smooth and tighten gradually and naturally following treatment.

What are PDO Smooth Threads?

There are different types of PDO threads with Smooth threads becoming more popular due to their ease of application and natural esthetic results. PDO threads come in two basic groups, lifting (barbed) threads that are used to prevent sagging of skin. This is considered a form of facelift due to it's lifting properties. The other type are smooth threads that help to strengthen and tighten the skin diminishing fine wrinkles, folds, and scars.

10777577498?profile=RESIZE_710x

What is PDO?

PDO stands for polydioxanone. PDO has been proven to be safe and effective to use in medicine. It has previously been used for cardiovascular surgery as well as for sutures for over 10 years. PDO is dissolvable so there is no need to remove it after application.

When used for esthetic purposes, the threads are inserted in strategic locations on the face and neck. These injections cause micro-injuries that heal over time through natural processes. The healing process acts by stimulating the production of elastin, collagen, and fibrin to complete wound healing and this creates smooths out the skin and diminishes wrinkles. Another positive includes increased blood flow to the area. The blood flow brings nutrients to revitalize the skin leading to skin rejuvenation.

What are the benefits of PDO Smooth Threads?

Your skin will become revitalized thru the actions of the PDO threads. It strengthens your skin giving you a more youthful, vibrant look. PDO Smooth Threads work great in around the eyes, hollows of the cheeks, the upper lip around the mouth, neck, or under the chin.

The threads can be used in a variety of areas. The application is quick and virtually pain-free. Little to no downtime is necessary following the procedure. An added bonus is the procedure is much more affordable than a full facelift.

PDO smooth Vs. Botox?

The two procedures are often compared to each other. However, they act in very different ways. Botox limits the movement of the facial muscles to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Some patients really like how Botox smooths their face and how it can be used to slow the formation of new lines and wrinkles.

Smooth threads work in a different way to boost the skin, naturally. They have the ability to smooth and tighten the skin by building collagen to diminish fine lines and wrinkles.

Using a combined treatment of Botox and smooth threads has become a popular esthetic treatment. The procedures can be done in comvination and can be repeated together about every 3-4 months.

What can I expect from a PDO Smooth Threads treatment?

An initial cosmetic consultation will determine what goals and desires you have for your cosmetic treatment. It will be discussed at this time what areas concern you and how to get the optimal aesthetic results. 

Once aesthetic treatment begins, the areas of injection will be cleansed thoroughly. The absorbable threads will be applied with very fine needle. This is a very quick procedure that feels like a little pinch. There is a small risk that bruising may occur.

Results will begin to appear over the course of the next month or so. This will be dependent on the bodies healing ability. Most patiemts see results within 3 or 4 weeks and the optimal results will appear at around 3-4 months.

Smooth PDO threads are a great alternative to many other more invasive esthetic procedures.

Below are tips to make dental implants last a lifetime!

10768042066?profile=RESIZE_710x

How to Care for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent addition to your smile. This also means they need to be cared for just like your natural teeth.

It is recommended that you brush and floss regularly to keep plaque and bacteria build up at bay. Brushing your implants with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste at least twice a day helps reduces the likelihood of dental infection. A dental infection can lead to implant loss and other health concerns.

Flossing Tips

Be sure to carefully clean around your implant by flossing underneath the implant crown. While the dental implant itself cannot get tooth decay, a periodontal infection can develop in the gum tissues and bone surrounding the dental implant. It is also recommended to use an ADA approved mouthrinse to control bacteria levels.

Developing a good oral hygiene regimen at home will help keep your implants clean and ensure their longevity. 

Maintain regular dental visits to keep your dental implant healthy as well as the rest of your smile.

How Successful Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants have a high success rate of over 98%, and most patients are amazed at how natural and strong they feel as part of their smile.

Nobody ever wants to consider losing a tooth, but at least there are options that are both functional and esthetic.

Dental Implants For A Healthy Smile

Dental implants have become the go-to treatment to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a complete smile. Restoration of your smile will improve self confidence and overall health. 

There are 3 requirements that a patient must have before undergoing dental implant surgery and they include:

A dental implant is made up of 3 separate elements:

  1. The implant body is made of titanium. Titanium is lightweight, durable, and strong. It can accommodate one tooth or several. The implant body becomes the base for your artificial crown.
  2. The abutment: This is a connector that anchors your tooth to the post and is installed after the post has fused to your jawbone.
  3. The crown: This is the visible part of the dental implant. This is the final step in the implant process.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial teeth that are permanently placed in the bone. They are modeled after your natural teeth, so they will look, feel, and function just like them

Dental implants enable clear, articulate speech and allow you to eat all of your favorite foods.

10765148698?profile=RESIZE_710x

Dental Implants Mimic Natural Teeth?

Your new teeth will have the same size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, so no one will will ever know you have undergone any treatment. They will give you peace of mind to enjoy your favorite foods and speak without fear of slipping or falling out.

What Happens When I Have Implant Surgery?

  • Extracting the damaged teeth and performing any other necessary dental procedures.
  • Preparing of the implant site for your surgical procedure.
  • If a bone graft is needed, it can be completed at this time.
  • Installing the body of the dental implant in the bone.
  • Allow time for healing and growth/fusion with bone.
  • Installing the custom dental abutment and making impressions of your teeth and gums.
  • Placement of your final dental crowns.

The time needed for your implant process will depends on each individual and the number of implants placed.

Will a Bone Graft be needed?

Every patient is different. At your evaluation, the possible need for a bone graft will be discussed.

Is Invisalign Right For Your Smile?

Crooked or misaligned teeth can cause self confidence issues for some. Finding the right orthodontic treatment to enhance your smile can sometimes be challenging. Invisalign ha become one of the most popular orthodontic options due to the ease of use and esthetics. Marielaina Perrone DDS can help you determine IF Invisalign is the right option for you.

What Are Invisalign Clear Aligners?

Most people are familiar with traditional braces and their metal wires and brackets. Invisalign represents an improved esthetic way to straighten teeth and to correct your smile.

Once treatment is complete you can enjoy the brilliant and beautiful smile you have always wanted.

10765117300?profile=RESIZE_710x

Is Invisalign Right for Your Smile?

Invisalign is a great choice for many patients. It is not the ideal choice for all patients, however.

Invisalign is not a good choice for the following smiles:

  • Patients who have severe misalignments or problems with their bite typically will need to undergo traditional braces.
  • Younger children who are still growing may experience changes in the shape or the size of their jaw and their teeth during the orthodontic process. This can require taking additional molds and restarting the Invisalign process, which can be 
    • More expensive compared to traditional braces.
    • Patients who cannot wear their aligners for a minimuk of 20 hours per day are not good candidates for Invisalign.

    What Is the Process for Invisalign?

    Treatment typically begins with an orthodontic consultation. This will allow Dr Perrone to determine the best course of treatment for your orthodontic issues. 

    If Invisalign is right for your smile, you will use several different aligners that you will wear in sequential order. Each of these aligners will apply small amounts of pressure to your teeth to move them into the right position. After going through all of your aligners, your teeth will be in proper alignment.

  • During this process, periodic dental visits are needed. Most people will recognize cosmetic results from Invisalign treatment within a few weeks. The entire course of treatment could take as long as 12 to 18 months. Each patient will follow a different timeline depending on amount of correction needed.

  • 10765117883?profile=RESIZE_710x
  •  

    Will My Invisalign Aligners Impact My Daily Activities?

    Most patients wear their aligners for between 20 and 22 hours a day. This is necessary to achieve the optimal cosmetic and functional results.

  • You will be able to to remove the aligners to eat, drink and brush your teeth.

    Maintaining good dental hygiene is important throughout the process to keep your teeth and gums health while you are undergoing Invisalign treatment.

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin coverings composed of a dental composite or dental porcelain material chemically to the front of the teeth to alter your smile's shape, size, and color. The surface of your existing teeth is prepared to allow for a bond with the porcelain material, which is far less preparation of natural tooth structure performed with a porcelain crown. Veneers give cosmetic dentists in Henderson NV, the ability to improve smile imperfections like discoloration, cracks, gaps between teeth, chips, slight misalignments, and decay. Veneers can transform your smile.

 Health Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers can change your smile for the better and give a significant boost of self-confidence. Veneers also aid in strengthening and protecting weaker teeth that do not have decay by providing additional support and structure to your natural smile.

The Dental Veneer Procedure

Following your cosmetic consultation with Marielaina Perrone, DDS, you will know if she believes you are a good candidate for dental veneers. 

Initial Visit

Once cosmetic dentist Marielaina Perrone DDS determines you to be a good candidate, the first step is to take a series of digital x-rays and dental impressions. Dr. Perrone will then take some time to discuss your smile goals and the desired results of your new smile. This cosmetic consultation will include a model created to show you how the final results will look. 

Dental Veneers Procedure

The procedure will begin with removing a small fraction of enamel from the surface of each tooth to allow for proper bonding and not affect the current occlusal bite. Following tooth preparation, an impression is taken of the teeth to custom create your new veneers. Temporary veneers will be custom fabricated and placed. Once the finished veneers return from the lab, Dr. Perrone will prepare each tooth to create an ideal surface for bonding. A special dental light will also be used on each veneer to create a stable and durable bond. Once the light is complete, the porcelain veneers are permanently in place.

Recovery

There is almost no recovery from the porcelain veneers procedure. Some patients may experience tooth sensitivity to hot and cold drinks and food for a short time. 

Porcelain veneers are an ideal and attractive choice to improve your smile and self-confidence. 

Marielaina Perrone DDS believes everyone deserves to have a healthy, beautiful, and functional smile.

What Is Juvederm?

There are multiple options for nonsurgical skin rejuvenation options to help you reverse the signs of aging and restore a more youthful appearance. One of the most popular skin rejuvenators used for this purpose is the dermal filler, Juvederm.

Juvederm is one of the more versatile fillers available on the market today. This allows cosmetic dentist Marielaina Perrone DDS the ability to customize your esthetic treatment.

Dr Perrone offers a no cost cosmetic consultation at her cosmetic dentist office in Henderson NV. She will be able to customize an aesthetic treatment that is right for you and your goals.

What Is Juvederm?

Juvederm is a dermal filler comprised of hyaluronic acid. This acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. As we age, the levels of hyaluronic acid in your skin decrease. This results in a loss of volume and structure that will lead to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Juvederm replaces this lost hyaluronic acid to fill in fine wrinkles, restore lost volume, and potentially achieve a youthful, rested appearance.

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid gel filler that provides greater predictability with cosmetic results, and potentially gives a more natural looking outcome than other dermal fillers on the market today.

10756424898?profile=RESIZE_710x

What Can Juvederm Correct?

Juvederm can be used for the following:

  • Fill in smile lines
  • Improve the appearance of nasolabial folds
  • Plump up thin lips
  • Add volume to hollow cheeks
  • Fill in deep lines and wrinkles

Juvederm Procedure

Your Juvederm procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes to complete and is performed by Marielaina Perrone DDS. Dr. Perrone will inject Juvederm dermal fillers beneath the surface of your skin. There is typically little to no downtime, and patient usually resume normal activities almost immediately.

Esthetic results generally appear right away following treatment and can potentially last up to one year. Long term results vary from patient to patient. Follow up treatments will be necessary to extend the results even longer.

Please contact cosmetic dentist Marielaina Perrone DDS today to schedule your no cost Juvederm consultation today. We serve patients in Henderson, Summerlin, and Las Vegas, NV areas.

What Is Botox?

WHAT IS BOTOX?

Botox injections can help you look younger quickly and easily and to prevent lines and wrinkles from forming on the face. Marielaina Perrone DDS in Henderson, NV is pleased to offer BOTOX to her patients. This nonsurgical esthetic procedure provides outstanding cosmetic results and is available for both women and men.

Botox injectable can give a dramatic aesthetic improvement to facial wrinkles. These wrinkles result from our expressive movement with the contracting muscles on the forehead and around the eyes.

When injected into the facial muscles, BOTOX temporarily blocks specific muscle movements to soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. BOTOX injections are most commonly administered between the eyebrows, Crow's feet, and across the forehead.

BENEFITS OF BOTOX

An individualized BOTOX treatment plan designed by Marielaina Perrone DDS can help you look younger quickly. Other benefits include::

  • Smoothing fine wrinkles and lines
  • Preventing the formation of new creases and wrinkles
  • Creating a more rested, youthful appearance
  • Quick results without the need for surgical intervention
  • Highly effective for both men and women
  • Proven safe and effective

BOTOX FOR TMJ

The masseter muscle is located on the side of your face. The main role of this muscle is to help you chew your food properly. With properly placed injections, the masseter muscle can be relaxed resulting in many benefits for patients experiencing migraines and TMJ issues.

Benefits include:

  • Relief for Teeth grinding
  • Creating a symmetrical face profile
  • Relieve tension or migraine headaches
  • Reduce jaw tension and habitual clenching
  • Recontouring jaw into a more square shape

WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR BOTOX?

BOTOX injections are ideal for men and women who want to:

  • Lessen and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face
  • As a wrinkle preventive treatment
  • Lessen appearance of crow's feet by the eyes

For deeper lines, a filler product (Juvederm dermal filler) may be a better esthetic option.

HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?

BOTOX injectable treatments are performed right in our office by Marielaina Perrone DDS. Following a cosmetic consultation to determine treatment needed and desired, you will be asked to make various expressions using the upper face, like squinting and frowning, to give Dr Perrone a guide where the injections should be applied.

The injection sites will be cleansed thoroughly and BOTOX will be applied using a fine needle. Following injection a cold compress will be usedto help decrease discomfort and possible bruising. A numbing cream is also available if needed to help make the entire process more comfortable. BOTOX treatments generally take about 15-20 minutes, and you can typically return to your usual non strenuous activities after leaving the office.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER BOTOX?

Strenuous activity should be postponed for at least 24 hours. Dr Perrone will advise you to keep your head elevated for at least one night and to avoid touching your face, which may accidentally spread the BOTOX to undesired areas.

The injection sites may develop bruising, swelling, or redness but you should not have any long-lasting side effects. For many patients, it takes about a week for results to show fully. The results typically last 3 – 4 months before needing a touch up to maintain your youthful look.

 

BOTOX = LESS WRINKLES

Teeth Whitening Options Las Vegas NV

Teeth whitening is a highly effective and safe esthetic treatment to eliminate stains and discoloration, allowing you to enjoy a whiter, brighter smile. Teeth whitening typically comes in 2 forms, at home and dentist-supervised in the office. 

Below, cosmetic dentist Marielaina Perrone DDS will compare in-office whitening to at-home whitening. The pros and cons of each will also be discussed.

Understanding Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is completed in a dental office under dentist supervision. Marielaina Perrone DDS will apply a special bleaching gel to your teeth, and then the gel will be activated using a special lighting system. This process may be repeated several times to achieve the desired esthetic results. Your smile looks brighter, and stains are remarkably less noticeable immediately following a teeth whitening treatment.

Understanding At-Home Teeth Whitening

Some patients choose to complete teeth whitening at home instead of in the office. At-home teeth whitening typically involves wearing either bleaching trays that fit over the teeth or the use of drug store gel strips. The trays or strips must be worn for approximately 6-8 hours daily for about 10 to 14 days.

A major drawback of at-home teeth whitening is that the bleaching agent is less concentrated. This will cause the whitening to take longer to see the desired esthetic results, and the final cosmetic result may not be as dramatic as in-office teeth whitening.
