ST. ALBANS, W.Va., July 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Warnick Dental in St. Albans, WV announced that the practice offers cosmetic dentistry services, including teeth whitening and Invisalign. The dental practice is committed to helping patients achieve brighter smiles and gain confidence through cosmetic dentistry. According to the practice's dentist, Dr. Melissa Warnick, Invisalign is an effective alternative to braces for older adults with a crooked or uneven smile. The practice regularly fixes chipped, cracked, yellowed or stained teeth using cosmetic dental procedures.
St. Albans residents who are dissatisfied with their current smiles can visit Warnick Dental for options for cosmetic dental improvements. The practice's dental team, led by Drs. Steve and Melissa Warnick, has significant experience transforming patients' smiles.
"When a patient is unsatisfied with their smile, they are less likely to reveal theirs smiles and may even be hesitant to speak up at work or at school. Our cosmetic procedures can make a huge difference for a patient's confidence level," said dentist Dr. Steve Warnick.
Drs. Steve and Melissa Warnick are encouraging Hurricane, Scott Depot, South Charleston, Winfield and St. Albans residents to learn more about how cosmetic dental procedures, including teeth whitening, Invisalign, and caps and veneers can create positive results.
Cosmetic veneers and caps are used to correct tooth discoloration and hide chips. A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth while a cap is made to fit over the entire tooth. Veneers are primarily used for cosmetic enhancement. A cap can correct a severe fracture, broken tooth or cover up a cavity, while also cosmetically enhancing the tooth.
"For cracked or chipped teeth, caps and veneers are a long-lasting solution that corrects cosmetic problems," said dentist Dr. Melissa Warnick. "Our veneers are made from porcelain, which is stain-resistant. This helps to protect a patient's natural smile."
The dentists also recommend that patients with crooked or uneven teeth consider Invisalign treatments. Custom-made trays are cast to the patient's mouth shape. The trays are designed to gently and gradually shift teeth back to proper alignment. Every two weeks, patients will replace their trays with a new alignment set.
"Invisalign is a popular choice for patients who would like to straighten their teeth without braces," said Dr. Steve Warnick. "The straightening trays are invisible so no one will know that a patient is using them. Since the trays can be removed, it is easy to brush and floss just like normal. The trays can also be removed for eating. There are no painful wires, rubber bands, metal parts or brackets, which are associated with braces."
The practice provides teeth whitening and other cosmetic procedures for both teenagers and adults.
