Porcelain Veneers
A porcelain veneer is a slim cover of tooth-colored porcelain that is used in cosmetic dentistry. The use of porcelain veneers is one of the most effective ways to conceal imperfections in the appearance of your teeth. If your teeth are yellow from age or deferred hygiene, if they are stained from tobacco use or coffee, or if they have unsightly chips or irregularities, porcelain veneers offer one of the best solutions to improve your appearance. At your appointment at our San Rafael, CA office, Dr. Creaghe first planes off a thin layer of enamel. This is done to prepare the tooth’s surface for bonding. He then makes a set of molds of your teeth and sends them to an outside dental lab where the veneers will be manufactured. In about 2 weeks the porcelain veneers will be ready for placement: Each one will be precisely bonded over its corresponding tooth. With your new veneers in place, your smile will be beautiful, and you’ll be ready to show it off to the world. Don’t delay getting your perfect smile any longer. Contact our San Rafael dental office today, and we’ll be happy to talk to you about how to get a great smile makeover.

Instant Orthodontics
Instant orthodontics is a relatively new procedure that has completely transformed people's reservations about having their teeth straightened. Using porcelain laminates Dr. Creaghe can improve nearly any aspect of your mouth';s appearance, including covering cracks or chips, closing gaps between teeth, and even straightening their alignment. The advantages of instant orthodontics over traditional orthodontic procedures are numerous: Instant orthodontics uses no metal brackets or wires that can irritate your mouth; instant orthodontics is painless; and best of all, instant orthodontics requires a very short treatment time - only two appointments! You can now avoid that year or more of wearing bulky orthodontic appliances. The procedure is very simple: Dr. Creaghe will apply a laminate over the surface of each tooth. The result is an astonishingly beautiful instant makeover. If you have always wanted a perfect smile but have been deterred by the idea of long-term treatment using braces, contact our San Rafael, CA practice for a consultation.

Tooth Colored Fillings
Dr. Creaghe can provide tooth-colored fillings as an aesthetic alternative to the amalgam (silver) fillings traditionally used to repair cavities. Whereas amalgam fillings are dark metallic, making them easily visible when you laugh, for example, new composite tooth-colored fillings are exactly matched to your surrounding teeth, making it impossible to differentiate between your natural teeth and the restoration. The results seen after this procedure are impressive to say the least. Dr. Creaghe can remove your amalgams and replace them with new tooth-colored fillings in just one short visit. Contact our office in San Rafael, CA, and let us dramatically improve your smile.
