Dental Veneers
At the office of Ronald C. Fuhrmann DDS, dental veneers offer a fantastic way to correct imperfections such as stains, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth, instantly transforming their appearance. We offer two main types of dental veneers:
Composite Veneers: These veneers are made from a tooth-colored resin material that is applied directly to your teeth. The composite is sculpted and hardened, often in a single appointment. Composite veneers are typically a more cost-effective option and can be a great way to address minor cosmetic issues. They can also be more easily repaired if needed.
Ceramic Veneers: Ceramic veneers are fabricated in a dental laboratory from high-quality porcelain. Porcelain veneers are known for their natural, translucent appearance that closely mimics tooth enamel. They are also more resistant to staining than composite veneers and tend to be more durable. The process for ceramic veneers usually involves two visits: one for preparation and impressions, and another for the bonding of the custom-made veneers.
Dr. Fuhrmann can discuss the pros and cons of both composite and ceramic veneers with you to help you choose the best option for achieving the smile you desire. To learn more about how dental veneers can enhance your smile, contact our Virginia Beach office to schedule a consultation.
Facial Esthetics
At the Virginia Beach office of Ronald C. Fuhrmann DDS, we believe that a confident smile contributes significantly to your overall facial esthetics and self-esteem. Beyond our comprehensive dental care, we are pleased to offer facial esthetic treatments designed to help you achieve a more youthful and revitalized appearance. These services can address common signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, and a loss of facial volume, providing subtle yet effective enhancements that complement your smile beautifully.
Dr. Fuhrmann and our skilled team have received specialized training in administering these facial esthetic procedures, ensuring the same high standards of safety, precision, and personalized care that you experience with our dental treatments. We take the time to understand your individual goals and create a tailored treatment plan to help you achieve a natural and refreshed look. Our aim is to enhance your inherent beauty and boost your confidence.
Cosmetic Injections
We use cosmetic injections as a popular and effective treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, such as crow's feet around the eyes and frown lines between the eyebrows. This minimally invasive procedure involves the injection of a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for these wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful look. The effects typically last for several months. To learn more about how cosmetic injections can help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance, contact us to discuss your options.
Facial Injections for TMJ/Jaw Pain
Beyond their cosmetic uses, injections can also offer therapeutic benefits for individuals experiencing TMJ disorders, chronic headaches, and jaw pain. In these cases, facial injections are strategically placed into the muscles involved in jaw movement and tension, such as the masseter and temporalis muscles. By relaxing these muscles, injections can help to alleviate pain, reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches related to muscle tension, and improve jaw function. If you suffer from TMJ issues, frequent headaches, or jaw pain, discuss with us whether therapeutic facial injections might be a helpful part of your treatment plan.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a versatile and relatively conservative cosmetic dental procedure used to improve the appearance of teeth. At our office, we use a tooth-colored composite resin that is applied to the tooth, sculpted into the desired shape, and then hardened with a special light. Bonding can effectively address issues such as chipped or cracked teeth, closing small gaps, reshaping misshapen teeth, and covering stains or discoloration. It's often a more affordable and quicker solution compared to other cosmetic treatments like veneers or dental crowns. If you have minor imperfections in your smile that you'd like to correct, dental bonding could be an excellent option for you.
Dermal Fillers
At the Virginia Beach office of Ronald C. Fuhrmann DDS, we offer dermal fillers as part of our facial esthetic services to help restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles. Dermal fillers are injectable gels, often made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. They can be used to plump up thinning lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases, and promote a fuller, more balanced facial appearance. With careful and precise application, dermal fillers can provide a more youthful and refreshed look. Dr. Fuhrmann can discuss your specific concerns and explain how dermal fillers can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
