Porcelain veneers are a great and versatile way to fix many different cosmetic dental issues. The results can often be seen in one to two appointments. Porcelain veneers are a good fit for you if you have crooked, chipped, gapped, or stained teeth. The process is quick and easy. Dr. Terlep removes a small amount of the outer layer of your tooth to make sure there is space for the veneer. Then the porcelain veneer will be applied to your tooth with a strong bonding material. You will be educated on the best way to take care of your veneers. The reason porcelain veneers are such a great fit for everyone is because they are natural looking and can be made to look like a whiter and straighter version of your original teeth.

Depending on the patient, the implant procedure may be done over two separate appointments. The first appointment will be an oral surgery where the implants are put into place and then the second appointment will complete the treatment by putting the teeth into place on the implant. Implants are a not for everyone. To find out if dental implants are right for you, contact our Waynesboro, Virginia practice serving Harrisonburg and Charlottesville.

When your implant has healed and is properly fused with the jawbone, we can insert the titanium post to your implant. Then we will add the finishing touches and replacement teeth onto the titanium post. The results will be beautiful, strong, natural looking teeth. Testimonials from patients who have had dental implants placed by Bream Family Dental Care, all say they have achieved exceptional results. Contact us today to learn more about dental implants.

Another method of implant placement is same day teeth or "teeth in a day." Depending on the situation, you may be able to complete all the steps of the implant surgery in one day. This can be done with one or more teeth. We do recommend scheduling a consultation to see if this is the best approach for you. Depending on how your consultation goes, our implant dentist can recommend same day dental implants, the traditional dental implants procedure, or another treatment, such as dentures or bridges.

Dr. Terlep will perform the oral surgery and restoration portions of the dental implant procedure. Oral surgery consists of the insertion of an implant into the jawbone. The implant is used to mimic the root of the replacement tooth. Depending on how fast you heal and how long it takes for the jawbone to grow around the implant we may need to wait up to six months to ensure that the stability of your bite has been optimized. Once the implant and the bone have healed and fused together your implant will be ready for placement and the tip of the implant will be exposed.

Dr. Terlep suggests dentures to patients if they have lost some or all their teeth. Partial or complete dentures can replace natural teeth. By restoring the health, functionality, and appearance of the mouth, dentures provide a range of benefits. They restore your ability to eat the foods you want without pain, maintain the health of the surrounding teeth, and improves your appearance while supporting and restoring your facial structure. Dr. Terlep knows the importance of having these services be affordable and timely and aims to provide you with dental care to fit your budget.

Dr. Dierdre Terlep has years of experience fitting dentures for patients. Let her make sure that your dentures are stable and properly positioned. If your dentures are difficult to keep in or are causing you discomfort, they may need to be refitted.
