Tooth Whitening: Whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it’s an affordable, easy, and effective way to improve your smile. Our cosmetic dentists are experts in brightening beautiful smiles using the latest methods in teeth whitening. Because we take pride in our patient care and want you to be completely satisfied with your results, we perform a thorough dental exam to determine the cause of your discoloration before whitening. This is important because peroxide-based teeth whiteners do not work on tetracycline stains, crowns or veneers, and diet and certain medications can affect the expected results. In addition, some teeth may be discolored due to defective fillings or decay, requiring repair before cosmetic whitening treatment. Our dentists will work with you to determine the best whitening option for your teeth.
Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain is a brilliantly white, yet natural-looking material that reflects light in much the same way as natural tooth enamel, making porcelain veneers a beautiful solution for teeth that are stained, damaged, or misshapen. By bonding a wafer-thin layer of porcelain to the front surfaces of teeth, our cosmetic dentists are able to conceal chips, discoloration, gaps and other aesthetic flaws. And by shaping the dental veneers to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible, our dentists are often able to correct misalignment, which might otherwise require braces or other orthodontic treatments. Make an appointment to find out how you can have the smile you’ve always wanted with veneers!
Bridges: If you are missing one or more of your teeth, we may be able to restore your smile using a dental bridge. Bridges are composed of a replacement tooth or teeth supported on either side by a porcelain crown. These crowns are connected to the teeth adjacent to a gap, creating a strong and natural looking replacement. Non-removable bridges provide a sturdier, more stable solution to missing teeth than removable dentures, giving our patients the feeling of having permanent teeth once again.
Porcelain crowns: Porcelain dental crowns are a natural-looking way to cover a tooth that has been damaged by trauma or decay. Porcelain very closely resembles natural tooth enamel and can be color-matched to your surrounding teeth by a cosmetic dentist. By using a crown to completely cover a tooth and protect it from further damage, crowns may spare you the expense of having to undergo more involved procedures if the tooth is left untreated and restore a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Dental Implants: The natural look and feel of dental implants make them a popular choice to replace missing teeth. Dental implants provide a strengthened bite, a great looking smile, and the freedom and confidence that come with having a complete set of secure, natural looking teeth. As a long-term solution to missing teeth, dental implants are an amazing advancement in the field of restorative dentistry. Tooth implants are comfortable, attractive and as strong as natural teeth.
