Veneers
An excellent alternative to crowns, veneers can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment, closing gaps, and creating uniformity. Veneers can also return real structural integrity to damaged teeth. Dr. Huntzinger uses veneers made of ultra-thin porcelain. At Dental Health Associates, your veneers are custom made to fit easily over your natural teeth and have a translucent finish that blends in with surrounding teeth so people will notice only your beautiful, natural-looking smile! To find out whether veneers are a good choice for you, please contact us today.

Dentures
With so many advances in modern dentistry, denture technology in the Sylvania area has never been better. Dentures are an excellent option for people who have lost all their teeth. Precisely designed and molded to fit one’s mouth, full dentures slide over the gums and are held in place with the cheek and mouth muscles. They allow for comfortable chewing and keep the mouth and its surrounding features in proper alignment. Do you have older dentures that cause you to look older than your true age or cause pain when you chew? Dr. Huntzinger can also replace worn out dentures with custom made, state-of-the-art dentures that blend with your skin, hair, and even eye color. Your dentures will look as natural as possible, down to the fillings. Contact Dr. Huntzinger today to learn more about the comfortable, attractive dentures available at Dental Health Associates.

Invisalign
Invisalign is a revolutionary way to help you get even, straight teeth without noticeable, painful metal braces. Virtually undetectable, Invisalign aligners are made of strong, clear plastic that gradually guides your teeth into perfect alignment. Unlike metal braces, they have no wires or brackets on which your lips or gums can snag. Dr. Huntzinger makes impressions of your teeth, from which Invisalign develops customized aligners that will slide directly over your teeth. Aligners are replaced every two weeks as your teeth shift into place, and they are typically worn full-time (except when eating or drinking) for 12 to 48 months – no longer than you would wear traditional metal braces. To learn more about Invisalign, please contact Dental Health Associates today.

Porcelain Crowns
Crowns, or caps for teeth, look and function just like natural teeth. Dr. Huntzinger may recommend a crown if your tooth has enough decay that it cannot hold a filling, or if your tooth is cracked or broken and in danger of cracking down into the root if left unattended.
Crowns fit snugly over natural teeth to conceal cracks, discoloration, or chips, and protect what remains of the natural teeth. Crowns minimize physical discomfort and tooth sensitivity, as well as provide support for damaged teeth. At Dental Health Associates, we use all porcelain crowns for best results. For more information about our porcelain crowns, please contact us today.

Bridges
Dr. Huntzinger may recommend a dental bridge to permanently fill the gaps left by missing teeth with natural-looking artificial teeth. Bridges aid in the ability to speak and chew properly while increasing biting strength. Made of porcelain, bridges are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Dental bridges, which are entirely free of metal, are held by crowns that are placed over the teeth on both sides of the bridge and are referred to as "fixed" dentistry, as opposed to a restoration of missing teeth with a removable appliance or partial denture. Bridges are intended to permanently restore your smile. Call Dental Health Associates today to find out if bridges are a good option for you.

Implants
If you are missing one or more teeth and dentures do not work for you, consider dental implants. An excellent solution to missing individual teeth, dental implants eliminate gaps, provide a comfortable fit, and look completely natural. Unlike dentures, which can be removed, implants are permanently anchored into the jaw itself. Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not require that neighboring teeth be cut down to allow for crown placement. Dr. Huntzinger considers good candidates for dental implants those patients who have jawbone ridges that are in good shape and healthy oral tissues. During the dental implant procedure, an artificial tooth is attached below the gum line using an anchor that holds the implant in place, allowing excess bone and gum to grow into the implant. The end result is a strong, secure tooth that will look as good as – or better than! – your natural teeth.

Bonding
Bonding can quickly and painlessly close unsightly gaps between teeth and repair chipped, cracked, broken, or misaligned teeth to restore your smile’s natural beauty. Bonding effectively hides any natural flaws. After treating the tooth surface, Dr. Huntzinger applies a thin plastic coating of plastic or resin over the front surface of the teeth. The bonding material is then sculpted, shaped, and colored to suit your needs. A high-intensity light causes the plastic to harden, after which the new surface is smoothed and polished. Bonding by Dr. Huntzinger is typically painless and can yield dramatic results in a single office visit. Contact us today to learn more about bonding.

Tooth-colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings by Dr. Huntzinger can substantially improve the beauty of your teeth. Gone are the days when cavities could only be treated with unsightly metal fillings. Today, modern, tooth-colored fillings made of durable resin or porcelain can be bonded to your teeth for a stronger, more natural-looking effect. At Dental Health Associates, we use adhesives to bond tooth parts that look and act like your natural teeth. We can provide a bright, healthy, and strong smile with these exciting new techniques in adhesion dentistry. To find out if tooth-colored fillings are a good option for you, please contact Dental Health Associates today.
