Full Mouth Restorations
 TMJ problems, such as tension or pain in the jaw, may be a result of poor bite or damaged, shortened teeth. If you are experiencing these symptoms, full mouth restoration may be a good option for you. Full mouth restoration involves transforming and restoring each and every individual tooth. On the first visit, we will determine your ideal bite (occlusion) by relaxing your jaw muscles and determining where the muscles and jaw are most comfortable. We then make your restorations to fit that position, ensuring the tension and pain will disappear. On your second visit, we remove any previous dentistry and prepare your teeth for the new restorations. Finally, you will be fitted with temporary restorations while the lab creates your new teeth, and in three weeks, you will have the dazzling, healthy smile you dreamed of. To find out if full mouth restorations are right for you, contact Dr. Podilsky today.

Porcelain Veneers

Bonding
Bonding is similar to veneers in that it straightens, repairs, and whitens teeth. Using a composite of materials to match the shade of your teeth, Dr. Podilsky can use bonding to restore your smile. At his offices in Edmonton, Alberta he will roughen the teeth and apply primers. Continuing the bonding process, a thin coat of resin or plastic is spread over the teeth and sculpted to the proper shape. The bonding material is then exposed to a high-powered light that hardens it and bonds it to the tooth. The tooth is then polished and shaped to match the rest of your teeth. The end product is a dazzling, healthy smile devoid of fractured, discolored, or uneven teeth.
Composite bonding should last for several years, but you may need to return to Dr. Podilsky's Edmonton, Alberta offices for touch ups. You can extend the life of your bonding by avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, sweets, starchy foods, harsh toothpastes, and hard toothbrushes.

Porcelain Crowns
Crowns are typically used on teeth that are broken or have a large amount of decay. Because they cover the surface of the tooth, crowns hide teeth that are damaged or stained. They fit closely over your teeth for a comfortable feel, and blend in to bring your smile back to its natural splendor. Not only do they improve the look of your smile, crowns also reduce pain in injured teeth and help them resist further injury.
At his Edmonton, Alberta dental office, Dr. Podilsky will begin by numbing your teeth and the gums around them. Then, your teeth will be shaped so that the crowns will fit and match the other teeth around them and any decay will be removed. Impressions - from which your crowns will be created - will then be taken of your teeth. You will be fitted with temporary crowns until your second appointment at Dr. Podilsky's Edmonton, Alberta offices. During your second appointment, the temporary crowns will be removed and your permanent crowns will be fitted to your teeth. Dr. Podilsky will then bond them to your teeth and remove any excess cement.

Teeth Whitening

EQUIPMENT
Dr. Podilsky and his staff use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that your trip to the dentist is as comfortable and safe as possible. His equipment includes:
Intra-oral Cameras
The intra-oral camera allows Dr. Podilsky to take a close look inside your mouth. This tiny camera takes images of your teeth that come up on a monitor, allowing you to see what he sees. That way, you can discuss your concerns with Dr. Podilsky before treatment even begins, and you will have a better understanding of the procedure.
Digital cameras are used to take pictures of your teeth that can be printed out for you and the dentist to see. Digital photography improves patient communication and treatment planning by allowing you and Dr. Podilsky to see problem teeth and decide the best treatment plan.

Computers and Imaging Software
Computers are a good tool for people who are considering having cosmetic work done on their teeth, but are unsure if it is right for them. Computers allow you to see a realistic image of what your new smile will look like before treatment begins. An image is taken of your teeth, and through computer imaging you can see what they will look like after your dental work is completed. This can help you decide which procedure is best for you.
