 Are veneers right for me?
Veneers are often a great way for people with chipped,
stained, discolored, unevenly spaced, or slightly crooked
front teeth to obtain a brighter, cleaner, more attractive
smile. Porcelain
veneers can be made to match the color of your teeth (either
with or without whitening), and can enhance your smile
in as little as two dental visits.
While veneers are a good choice for many people, you should
schedule an appointment with Dr. Lowe to discuss if they
are an appropriate treatment in your particular situation.
What can I do about my old silver fillings?
It used to be that silver fillings were your only option,
but with technological advances tooth-colored fillings have
become a better alternative. These new fillings last
as long as silver fillings, look great (people usually can’t
even tell you’ve had a restoration) and have no potential
health side effects. (Silver fillings, on the other
hand, are made with mercury, which some studies suggest could
cause problems over time.)
Talk to Dr. Lowe if you’d like to replace your silver
fillings with the more attractive, tooth-colored alternative.

 How can you help if I’m having problems biting
or chewing?
Problems with biting or chewing can be caused by many different
problems with your teeth and jaws. The solutions can
range from adjusting your bite with crowns and fillings to
fitting you with custom devices that help prevent bruxism
(tooth grinding).
If you’re having a problem with chewing or biting,
please make an appointment to come in and see Dr. Lowe. He
can diagnose the reasons for your difficulties and provide
the dental treatments that will resolve them.
