Porcelain Veneers
One of the quickest, most effective ways to transform your smile is by having Dr. Mazer or Dr. Bond attach porcelain veneers. Atlanta, Georgia area residents who have teeth with cosmetic problems such as discolorations and gaps or minor structural problems such as cracks and chips can obtain a beautiful, white smile over the course of just a few visits to our office with porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are thin covers made from durable porcelain that slide over teeth to mask cosmetic problems. When we apply porcelain veneers for our Atlanta, Georgia area patients, we resurface teeth and then use a strong dental bonding agent to firmly secure the porcelain veneers in place.
Porcelain achieves an incredibly lifelike appearance; like tooth enamel, porcelain veneers allow some light to pass through - a property known as "translucency." When dental veneers look fake, it is usually due to the fact that they are made from a non-translucent material.

Invisalign® Invisible Orthodontics
At Old Milton Dental, we are now pleased to be able to offer Invisalign® to our Atlanta, Georgia, and North Fulton area patients. The Invisalign® invisible orthodontic system is an exciting new development in cosmetic dentistry that allows patients to straighten their teeth more quickly than with traditional braces, and without having to endure the discomfort and unsightliness of the infamous "tin grin".
The Invisalign® system works in the same way as braces; it slowly guides your teeth into the desired position over the course of a number of months. Whereas braces accomplish this with metal wires and brackets attached to your teeth, Invisalign® moves your teeth with a custom made series of clear plastic aligners. Chances are, most people won't even notice you're wearing Invisalign®. Atlanta, Georgia residents can come to Old Milton Dental to be fitted for the aligners, which will be changed about every two weeks as teeth become straighter.
You'll wear Invisalign® all the time, except when eating, drinking or brushing your teeth, and you will need to come to our office for occasional appointments so we can check your progress. Invisalign® invisible orthodontics take the same amount of time or less as compared to normal braces. To find out more about Invisalign®, contact our Atlanta, Georgia area office today.
BriteSmile® Teeth Whitening
Many factors come together to create a beautiful smile. Alignment and condition of teeth are important, and so is color. If your teeth have dulled or discolored over time, we can help you obtain a brighter, whiter smile using BriteSmile®. Atlanta, Georgia residents can come to Old Milton Dental to have their teeth whitened over the course of a single one-hour visit to our office. BriteSmile® can achieve amazing results for teeth that have been stained by coffee, tea, cigarettes, and a whole host of other causes.
When you have your teeth whitened with BriteSmile® at our Atlanta, Georgia area office in Alpharetta, we will apply BriteSmile®'s patented whitening gel to your teeth and then activate it with a special type of light. After an hour, you're done!

Inlays and Onlays with Cerec
Inlays and onlays are restorations that are used when your tooth needs more than a simple filling, but does not need a full crown. They can restore strength and beauty to a tooth, with 75 percent less trauma than is necessary with a crown. Inlays are set into the space that is left when tooth decay is removed and bonded firmly into place. Onlays are similar, but they are larger, and are used to replace one or more of the tooth's cusps.
Cerec 3D Technology
Crowns, inlays and onlays used to take several office visits to install. In the first visit, impressions of your teeth would be taken and then sent to an off-site dental lab where the crown would be made. Now, we use a new technology called Cerec 3D to craft porcelain restorations in our office, which means your whole crown installation can take place during a single office visit. Cerec restorations achieve much better aesthetics when compared to those made in an off-site lab; they are three times as strong as other restorations, and are even less expensive!
All-Porcelain Crowns
If you have teeth with serious cosmetic and structural problems, all-porcelain crowns may be a good way to restore your smile as well as your ability to enjoy the foods you love. Crowns are lifelike synthetic teeth that can completely cover a problem tooth. They are an excellent option when your teeth still have strong, healthy roots.
Many dentists use crowns made of porcelain attached to a metal base. These porcelain-and-metal crowns often have a tendency to discolor around the base, leaving a dark line at the bottom of your tooth. At Old Milton Dental, we use crowns made entirely of porcelain, which are just as strong as porcelain-and-metal crowns, but will never discolor.
Bonding
In cosmetic bonding, we apply a tooth-colored bonding material to your teeth, and carefully shape it to cover chips, cracks, and discoloration. The bonding material we use is strong, durable, and long-lasting. Bonding is a quick and relatively easy way to restore a healthy appearance to problem teeth.
Total Smile Makeover
At Old Milton Dental, we believe that there's no such thing as a "lost cause" when it comes to teeth. That's why when you visit our practice for your consultation, we will carefully examine your teeth, and work with you to come up with a smile makeover plan to help you move, step by step, towards a beautiful new smile. We have a wide variety of tools and techniques at our disposal, so whether you will best benefit from a dental implant, teeth whitening with BriteSmile®, Invisalign® or porcelain veneers, our Atlanta, Georgia-area dentist Dr. Corey Mazer and his associate Dr. Damon Bond can help you remake your smile.
