This is the time to ask questions about possible procedures such as teeth whitening. You can look at pictures of porcelain veneer patients and dental implant recipients in the Elizabeth, Hershey, Manheim, and Leola areas. Our cosmetic dentistry patients really get excited when they see images of the possible results for their teeth.

By listening effectively and asking the right questions, Dr. Ed White can fully assess the many variables unique to your needs.

Dr. Ed White thoroughly examines teeth, gums and biting function. Complete x-rays are taken. Existing dental work, tooth color, tooth alignment, and gum condition are taken into consideration. Medical history and lifestyle are also important considerations. Cosmetic dentistry costs are outlined.

Taking the first step to learn is your key to understanding your options and preparing to make decisions. Learn about the possibilities for your smile at Elizabethtown Dental Associates; give us a call at 717-689-2055.

Dentist Dr. Ed White has been restoring teeth since 1984. Ongoing training is essential for staying on the cutting edge of the cosmetic dentistry industry.

Decay is the most common Elizabethtown dental problem and the second most common disease in the nation (number one is the common cold). If you have one or more teeth with decay, it’s time to take care of them.

Fillings, inlays, onlays and crowns are used to restore teeth for our Leola cosmetic dental patients. Even the most basic procedure – filling a cavity – has evolved. There are several types of new materials available including porcelain and composite resin. Each has specific strengths and aesthetic considerations. Elizabethtown patients who replace silver amalgam with tooth-colored fillings love getting the metal out of their smile.

Inlays and onlays are more extensive restorations. There are two types: direct or indirect. Direct inlays and onlays are made in your cosmetic dental office on the spot and applied in one visit. Indirect inlays and onlays are fabricated in a dental lab. They usually require a second visit but the results are well worth the extra trip.

When a client has a tooth that cannot be restored with an inlay or an onlay, a natural-looking dental crown is the answer. At Elizabethtown Dental Associates, we create dental crowns that blend in perfectly with the rest of your teeth. Let us show you some photos of patients who have received smile makeovers – you will not see any “Chiclet” crowns that stick out like a sore thumb. In fact, you won’t be able to tell which of our Elizabethtown dental clients have crowns.

Elizabethtown Dental Associates is located at 100 Continental Drive in Elizabethtown. Dentist Dr. Ed White is currently accepting new patients. Call 717-689-2055 to schedule an aesthetic dental consultation.

The AAP now advises parents in Manheim, Lancaster, or Etown to take their toddler to a Pennsylvania family dentist before their first birthday, or about six months after their first tooth appears.

Why? Prevention, prevention, prevention! Sadly, family dentists find advanced tooth decay in very young children.

High-risk children should be seen as early as possible. Following are some of the risk factors:

• Sleeping with a bottle
• Drinking juice continually during the day
• Abnormal tooth development
• Thumb sucking
• Tooth grinding
• A mother with significant tooth decay
• Other health problems

To talk to us about family dentistry, call 717-689-2055. Children love dentist Dr. Ed White at Elizabethtown Dental Associates. We also pamper busy Elizabethtown parents who come to Elizabethtown Dental Associates for general and cosmetic dentistry. If you are between the ages of 2 and 102, we would love to provide you with the most advanced dental care in Elizabethtown.

Porcelain veneers are used often in Pennsylvania cosmetic dental offices because they correct myriad problems. Veneers remedy misshapen teeth, cracks and chips, and discolored teeth. Teeth that have been worn down extensively can also be repaired with veneers. Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer is minimally invasive. The latest veneers do not require the removal of healthy enamel. Another plus: veneers are usually less expensive than complete crowns!

Tooth whitening and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Elizabethtown Dental Associates. Schedule a Elizabethtown cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 717-689-2055. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

Porcelain crowns were first used in the 1800s. With the refining of metal casting methods in the 1900s, crown dentistry advanced significantly.

Today, crowns are strong, comfortable and are made to match your surrounding teeth.

Dental crowns (also called caps) cover the entire visible portion of the tooth and are cemented in place. Crowns are used to strengthen teeth that have been worn down or weakened by decay or injury. Crowns are also used to restore the original shape of a tooth or solely to improve the appearance of a tooth.

The most common types of crowns are:

• All-porcelain (ceramic)
• Porcelain-fused-to-metal
• Gold

The material used is determined by several factors. If you suspect you need a crown, want to replace an old crown, or want to learn about other cosmetic dentistry procedures, call Dentist Dr. Ed White. Elizabethtown Dental Associates is located at 100 Continental Drive, Elizabethtown, PA 17022. We have been serving clients in the Elizabethtown area for several years. We can recommend the best tooth restoration or cosmetic dentistry option for you.

However, there are some folks who avoid smiling at all costs. Are you one of those people who cover their mouth when they laugh? Do you keep your mouth closed when someone takes a picture of you? Have you been hiding unsightly teeth for years?

It’s time to take care of those tooth problems and get a new lease on life.

Dr. Ed White DDS at Elizabethtown Dental Associates in Elizabethtown can make it happen!

If you are missing one or more teeth, and live in the Leola area, talk to us about dental implants. A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that includes both root and crown. Because it is anchored into the jawbone, it looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Are your teeth yellow or gray? Have a teeth whitening treatment at our Elizabethtown dental practice and experience an instant transformation.

Many of your friends and neighbors in Elizabethtown, Leola, and Hershey have benefited from porcelain veneers. They correct several types of imperfections and can be applied in just one visit to our Elizabethtown dental office.

The actual dental implant material is usually titanium. A post is surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation. The root replacement device can help prevent future jaw bone deterioration that can occur after a tooth has been lost. When the implant has integrated securely with the bone (it can take three to six months), a smaller post is attached. This post extends above the gum line. The artificial tooth (crown) is then attached.

The dental implants available in the Elizabethtown and Hershey area are extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of configurations. One dental implant can replace one missing tooth. A series of implants can replace more than one tooth or anchor a dental bridge. Implants can also act as a sturdy base for partial or full dentures.

When calculating the cost of dental implants in Leola, you’ll want to compare them to other restorative options.

Call 717-689-2055 to schedule a visit to discuss your dental goals and the possibility of reasonably cost dental implants. If you are missing one or more teeth, you owe it to yourself to get dental implants information.
