Teeth Whitening

One of the more popular cosmetic procedures available at our Washington Metropolitan area office is teeth whitening. Teeth whitening can remove years of stains and discoloration and give you a beautiful white smile.

A bright, white smile makes such a significant difference in your overall appearance, that people flock in droves to our office inquiring about teeth whitening methods that will remove stains and discolorations from their teeth. Teeth whitening patients are often overwhelmed by the amazing difference this simple procedure makes in their overall appearance.

Our progressive office near Rockville uses the latest proven teeth whitening methods to brighten teeth up to 10 shades whiter safely .

Porcelain Veneers

Considered to be one of the most versatile cosmetic dentistry procedures, porcelain dental veneers - available at our Gaithersburg, Maryland practice near Rockville - can be used to whiten and straighten teeth, as well as to fill in gaps between them.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic material that are bonded to the outside of your teeth. To produce the best results, a skilled and experienced cosmetic dentist such as Dr. Dubin should perform the procedure. The dental veneers procedure at our office can usually be completed in two visits. During your first visit, the teeth are sometimes prepared by removing a small portion of enamel(no prep veeners require no removal of any tooth structure) to allow for the thickness of the veneers and to ensure a strong seal. An impression is then taken and prepared to send to the lab, where the porcelain dental veneers will be created. Your new porcelain dental veneers are usually returned to our Gaithersburg, Montgomery County office within one to two weeks. Porcelain dental veneers at our office provide a strong, safe, and durable solution to stained, cracked or crooked teeth.

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are the aesthetic dental solution for damaged teeth. Occasionally, you may have a tooth crack or break because of tooth decay, teeth grinding, or a variety of other reasons. When this happens, Dr. Dubin will repair the damaged tooth with a natural-looking porcelain crown that will be virtually indistinguishable from a real tooth.

Dr. Dubin generally uses all-porcelain crowns to fix damaged front teeth, because these crowns look and reflect light most like natural teeth. Dr. Dubin will replace damaged back teeth with these excellent crowns.

A porcelain crown procedure usually requires two visits to our Gaithersburg office. To prepare your tooth for the porcelain crown, Dr. Dubin carefully shapes the remaining portion of your tooth. He makes an impression of the affected area to create a porcelain crown that matches the surrounding teeth, so effectively that it is nearly undetectable. On your second visit to our office, Dr. Dubin bonds the new porcelain crown to the shaped tooth, and your smile is once again perfect. The porcelain crown will match your teeth so well that you may forget which tooth was damaged.

Porcelain Bridges

If you’ve had the unfortunate luck of losing a tooth, porcelain dental bridges are available at our Gaithersburg office to improve your smile and oral health. While there are different types of porcelain bridges, the most common type consists of a replacement tooth fused between two crowns. The dental crowns fit over the teeth on either side of the gap to secure the replacement tooth in place.

Fixing a gap caused by a lost tooth is important for aesthetic reasons, but it is also critical to saving adjacent teeth and reducing the risk of gum disease and shifting.

Tooth-Colored Onlays

Tooth-colored onlays are the progressive dental repair solution for fixing damaged teeth with extraordinarily natural-looking results. When cavities take an undue toll on one or more of your teeth, tooth-colored onlays may be the answer to both repairing your teeth and giving you an exceptionally beautiful smile.

Tooth-colored onlays are made of porcelain that mimics the natural color of your teeth almost perfectly. Dr. Dubin recommends tooth-colored onlays when a tooth's structure is insufficient to receive a filling. Our onlays are actually superior to fillings because they strengthen the tooth better and give an improved aesthetic appearance.

As with porcelain crowns, the procedure for tooth-colored onlays requires two visits to our Gaithersburg office. In the first visit, Dr. Dubin will take impressions of the affected tooth or teeth so that your porcelain onlays can be created for a perfect match to your teeth. In the second visit Dr. Dubin will bond the natural-looking onlays so that they almost become one with your natural tooth structure. Your tooth-colored onlays will look and feel just like your natural teeth, and only you will know that onlays have improved your smile.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Progressive dentistry utilizes the best materials in dentistry. Gone are the days of dark silver fillings. Revolutionary tooth colored filling material mimics the actual layers of natural tooth to give the best lifelike appearance. The days of unattractive metal fillings are over thanks to tooth-colored fillings.

Since tooth-colored fillings come in a wide variety of shades and colors, Dr. Dubin is able to effectively match the color of your filling to your natural tooth color.

Durable and long lasting, tooth-colored fillings offer a great alternative to metal fillings. Unlike metal fillings, it is virtually impossible to detect tooth-colored fillings. Many patients have Dr. Dubin replace their large, black, and often corroded metal fillings on back teeth for aesthetic reasons, and because tooth-colored fillings strengthen the tooth and provide a better seal against recurring decay.

Dr. Dubin applies the tooth-colored filling in layers, hardening each layer with a special light as he progresses. The entire procedure can be completed in 20 minutes. Beyond the obvious aesthetic benefits, tooth-colored fillings help to strengthen teeth and protect them from further damage.

Age-Reversing Dentistry

As people age, natural wear and tear on teeth becomes more evident. The natural whiteness of teeth fades or shows the signs of years of drinking coffee or other beverages. Long-term tobacco use can especially affect the appearance of teeth. As the years take a toll on tooth structure, cracking and chipping become more prevalent. Sometimes tooth loss is inevitable.

With the progressive age-reversing dentistry procedures available at the office of Dr. Gerry Dubin, your smile doesn't have to show signs of aging. Teeth whitening can remove years of stains, and restore the natural whiteness of your teeth. Tooth-colored onlays can repair teeth and at the same time conceal staining and chipping. Lustrous porcelain veneers can conceal the effects of aging as well. They can align teeth to give you a beautifully white, youthful, "celebrity" smile. Natural-looking porcelain crowns and dental implants can replace broken and missing teeth so effectively, that you may forget that you've had a dental restoration.

If you desire a bright, white, youthful smile that can be more attractive than the smile you had in your twenties, contact our office today. With his progressive dental methods, Dr. Dubin can reverse the effects of aging and give any Washington Metropolitan area resident an exceptionally beautiful smile that radiates confidence.
