Teeth Whitening (Bleaching)
| PROBLEM: | PROBLEM: STAINED AND/OR DISCOLORED TEETH |
| SOLUTION: | BLEACHING (TOOTH WHITENING) |
Bleaching or teeth whitening has proven to be a safe, very effective and economical way of having a brighter, more youthful and vibrant smile. We utilize an "at home" teeth whitening process whereby soft plastic molds are custom manufactured to fit your upper and lower teeth. You apply a small amount of the teeth whitening solution to each tray and wear it for several hours during the day or while you sleep.
We will supervise a personalized teeth whitening program that is designed to fit your specific needs to insure optimal results.
A typical teeth whitening program takes 14 to 21 days to complete. Most of our patients begin to see dramatic changes after the first day. Best of all, there is no tooth preparation or any restorations placed in your teeth.
Teeth whitening is a simple, popular and economical way of enhancing the appearance of your teeth. For more information on teeth whitening in the Philadelphia and Main Line area, contact our cosmetic dentistry practice today.

Dental Bonding
| PROBLEM: | SMALL AREAS OF DECAY, ISOLATED COSMETIC FLAWS OR SMALL CHIPS IN YOUR TEETH |
| SOLUTION: | COSMETIC BONDING |
Bonding is a tooth-colored polymerized material, which is tooth colored, is applied to the tooth, sculpted to an ideal shape, hardened and then polished to a natural looking luster. Best of all it is done in one appointment with or without anesthesia with minimal or no discomfort.
The bonding procedure is a quick and ideal way to correct minor flaws, cracks or areas of discoloration.
Cosmetic bonding is a mercury free, tooth colored restorative material that restores the tooth's natural look.
Porcelain Veneers
| PROBLEM: | SPACES BETWEEN TEETH, FRACTURED TEETH OR UNEVENLY SIZED TEETH |
| SOLUTION: | PORCELAIN VENEER RESTORATION |
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are affixed to the natural tooth to enhance the shape, color or length of the tooth. The procedure involves two appointments: the first to take impressions of the prepared teeth and the second to apply the porcelain veneers to the tooth and polish the veneers.
Porcelain veneers are an aesthetic and durable alternative for the treatment of cracked teeth, space issues or tooth size discrepancies. What's more, porcelain veneers can correct minor alignment problems as well as tooth shapes or color.
The nature of the problem and the aesthetic and functional needs of the situation determine whether the situation is appropriate for bonding or for porcelain veneers. Contact the cosmetic dentistry practice of Dr. James Vito for more information on porcelain veneers and other cosmetic procedures.

Porcelain Restorations
| PROBLEM: | OLD, DARK AND UNATTRACTIVE SILVER FILLINGS |
| SOLUTION: | PORCELAIN INLAY/ONLAY RESTORATIONS |
Amalgam (silver) restorations represent a technology that is over 150 years old.
When large amalgam restorations begin to fail the best solution to preserve and strengthen tooth structure
is with a laboratory designed and processed restoration. Inlay/onlay restorations are made in such a way that
they fit into the tooth like a puzzle piece, strengthening and preserving tooth structure at the same time.
A porcelain inlay/onlay restoration represents a more aesthetic alternative to its gold counterpart
and will provide many enjoyable years of service.
Porcelain inlay/only restorations are designed to strengthen and support weak teeth and are stronger than amalgam or bonded restorations.
