Dental Bonding
A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO A BEAUTIFUL SMILE
Dental bonding refers to the placement of tooth-colored resin to correct chipped, broken, or discolored teeth. In some cases, it may be used to fill spaces in between teeth for a more esthetic smile. Bonding is generally considered more conservative than veneers or other cosmetic dentistry. The benefits of bonding include the ability to maintain the natural structure of the tooth and the ability to color and sculpt the resin to create natural-looking teeth. Like a natural tooth, the resin may stain with the use of coffee or other staining foods.
Teeth Whitening
AT HOME WITH OPALESCENCE
Teeth often stain and discolor with age and certain diets. Tooth whitening is safe, effective, and long-lasting — offering you the chance to get the dazzling smile you have always wanted. Our doctors trust and recommend the Opalescence tooth whitening system because it delivers immediate results!
Your at-home whitening kit includes a special tray that is customized to fit over your teeth, as well as a powerful prescription-strength whitening gel, which is inserted into the tray before you wear it. Opalescence can provide results after just one use, and within a week you can expect a dramatic improvement.
We also offer a no-impression option with our Opalescence Go trays.
Porcelain Veneers
YOUR VERY OWN FLAWLESS SMILE
If you’re seeking a more dramatic transformation, porcelain veneers are an excellent way to achieve a flawless smile. Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed and shaped specifically for your smile. Your dentist bonds these veneers to the front surfaces of your teeth. Veneers can help correct chipped and crooked teeth, gaps in between teeth, or dull, stained teeth, leaving you with a brilliant smile that enhances both your appearance and your self-esteem.
Porcelain is a highly durable, stain-resistant material that has a similar level of translucency to that of natural tooth enamel. The veneer process typically involves two visits. At your first visit, we’ll take impressions and start preparing for your veneer placement. The second appointment is when your dentist inserts the finished veneers. You will leave our office with the stunning new smile you’ve always wanted.
Dental Crowns
USING HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS FOR THE BEST RESULTS
When a tooth is damaged or weakened due to decay, trauma, or wear, a dental crown may be the best restorative option. Crowns cover the entire visible portion of the tooth, providing strength and protection while also improving its appearance.
We offer crowns made from high-quality materials such as zirconia, e.max, and gold depending on the location and patient preference. We utilize both digital and traditional impressions to ensure that your new crown fits perfectly, restoring both function and beauty to your smile.
