Cosmetic Dentistry

Nobody wants a smile that is dull and leaves a bad first impression, which is why Ivi Z.

Cosmetic dental procedures are designed to improve not only the aesthetics of your smile but the health of it as well.

This type of dentistry is aimed at creating a positive change to your teeth and to your smile. If you have a grin that embarrasses you due to missing teeth, tooth discoloration, or teeth that are chipped or cracked, Ivi Z. Sanguinetti DDS, PA will restore your confidence.

Soft-Tissue Laser

We know you have choices when it comes to selecting a dentist. That’s why Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti offers the most advanced technology in order to provide exceptional dentistry. For example, we are happy to utilize a soft-tissue laser in our practice.

 

The soft-tissue laser is ideally suited for soft tissue dental procedures. It is versatile and can be used clinically in several capacities. The soft-tissue laser can be used to perform restorative, cosmetic and periodontal procedures. For instance, the laser can be used in order to enhance periodontal treatment including root planning and scaling.

 

Using lasers to perform dental procedures, which in the past were done by making incisions and cutting, is often advantageous. The soft-tissue laser is gentle and is used to precisely cut targeted tissue. Your comfort is our priority. The use of lasers in our practice helps us achieve that goal. Procedures performed with the soft-tissue laser are usually comfortable, and patients often heal quickly.

 

We are happy to answer any questions and provide convenient appointment times including alternating Saturdays. For more information on the soft-tissue laser or any of our other services, please call Baytown Cosmetic and Family Dentist at 281-421-5950.

Lumineers

Lumineers are not just porcelain veneers; they are a special brand of veneers. Lumineers are made of extremely thin material — about the thickness of a contact lens — and placed over the tooth without in many instances requiring the removal of any of the original tooth structure. They are also highly translucent, which allows them to replicate the appearance of enamel for a more natural looking finished product. The truly remarkable quality about Lumineers, though, is the fact that they have the durability to last 20 years or more.

 

Here in our Baytown, TX dental office, we believe in minimizing pain whenever possible. The fact that Lumineers placed by Dr Ivi Z. Sanguinetti DDS require so little preparation to the existing tooth means there is little pain involved in the procedure.

 

Lumineers require two dental visits:

 

1) During the first visit, we create a precise mold and work with you to select the desired whiteness level.

2) We place the new Lumineers on the second visit and you're on your way.

Preventative Dental Care

Preventive dentistry is performing procedures on the teeth and gums that will prevent future problems. This can range from daily brushing and flossing to regular dental cleanings to application of fluorides and sealants. Our team works hard to make sure our patients are properly diagnosed and treated through the use of preventative dentistry.

 

Every patient has different dental needs when it comes to prevention. It has been well documented that oral health can have a wide ranging impact on overall health and well-being, so regular check-ups are imperative when it comes to proper diagnosis and treatment. Preventative dentistry is based on sound clinical examinations and diagnosis. Through regular dental visits, x-rays, sealants, cleanings and fluoride treatments, patients are able to prevent more costly dental procedures further down the line. Waiting to see a dentist until something hurts is not recommended. Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti believes in catching the problems before it progresses to the point of pain and infection.

 

Not only can patients take preventative steps by visiting their dentist, they can also take steps at home. During office visits, Dr. Sanguinetti puts an emphasis on preventative care to his patients. Preventive care is the basic things patients should be doing to take care of their teeth and gums: brushing, flossing, and maintaining a healthy diet. You should brush at least twice a day and incorporate a regular flossing routine. Creating a regular oral hygiene routine at home will help maintain a healthy smile that will last a lifetime.

Crowns

Crowns are a type of restoration that is performed right here in our Baytown office by Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti, and are placed for a variety of different reasons. While many patients do indeed get them as a restorative option, such as to protect a tooth at risk of breaking off or one that has deep decay, crowns are also desired for cosmetic reasons. Since crowns are typically less expensive than veneers, many patients opt for them to cover cracks in their teeth, staining, or discoloration.

 

Patients see us about 2-3 times in total for crowns placement. The straightforward process is as follows:

1. Patients first have a consultation to have a look at the tooth, clean it thoroughly and then it is prepared by being filed down.

2. Then, we make an impression of the tooth in order to have a permanent crown fabricated.

3. After the fabricated crown is back from the lab, our patient returns to our office to have the crown bonded to their tooth. The bonding dries quickly, after which it is polished.
