Your smile. It does more than chew your food, help you speak and keep you healthy overall. It’s what the world notices first above any other physical feature. Dr. David Tripulas, cosmetic dentist in Wharton, delivers a variety of ways to make your smile dazzling so you dazzle those around you.
You and Your Smile
Research from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry shows that your smile is your most important physical feature. It speaks to the world about who you are and even where you are going in your life journey.
In fact, the research indicates that 48 percent of people surveyed notice a smile before anything else–including what an individual says or wears. Who knew?
Well, your dentist in Wharton, Dr. David Tripulas, and his professional team knew this. For years, they have treated marred, dysfunctional teeth and gums, changing them to smiles that truly express who the individual is. A beautiful smile increases self-confidence, eases interpersonal relationships and of course, keeps oral and overall health vibrant. Cosmetic dentistry builds on smiles that lack decay, are well-aligned and have healthy gums and bone structure.
As such, Dr. Tripulas carefully considers a patient’s aesthetic smile goals when he formulates a treatment plan to address preventive and restorative needs. He has achieved the Master level in the Academy of General Dentistry so you can trust his skills and expertise. He is also a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, keeping his knowledge of aesthetic enhancements leading edge.
Cosmetic Dental Services
Dr. Tripulas delivers everything from simple teeth whitening or composite resin bonding to complete smile makeovers. Here is a sampling of the treatments he may employ to enhance your teeth.
In-office and at-home whitening Dr. Tripulas features the Kor bleaching system. In just two sessions placed one week apart, Kor bleaching powers out stains from tobacco, foods, beverages and even stubborn discolorations from pharmaceuticals. Patients apply the at-home version via custom-made acrylic trays. The results are dramatically brighter with no dental sensitivity.
Porcelain Veneers These tooth-colored, tooth-shaped laminates permanently cover stained, chipped or otherwise defective enamel. Smiles free from decay and gum disease qualify for placement of these translucent shells. They last for years, smoothing irregularities and adding a measure of strength.
Tooth-colored fillings use white composite resin to fill decay without the dark metal look or safety concerns of amalgam. Composed of acrylic and glass, this innovative material bonds directly to the tooth and is also used to repair chips, gaps and other aesthetic problems. Dr. Tripulas also places ceramic dental crowns to support severely decayed or injured teeth. Both kinds of restorations are virtually indistinguishable from natural tooth structure.
Invisalign clear aligners and Fast Braces offer older teens and adults the quickest ways to achieve straight, healthy smiles. Invisalign in Wharton is practically invisible, fully removable, rendering results in as little as a year. Fast Braces feature wires and innovative triangular brackets which comfortably move teeth into more favorable positions.
