Smile With Confidence
A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of a face. With dentistry's many advances, you no longer have to settle for stained, chipped, or misshapen teeth. You now have choices that can help you smile with confidence. Even the most subtle change in your smile can make a dramatic difference in the way you and others look and feel about yourself.
Talk to your dentist about the options most suitable for you, what your expectations are and the dental fees involved.
Our Most Popular Cosmetic Dental Options:
Porcelain Veneer (Complete in 2 Appointments)
Porcelain veneers are a rapid, aesthetic, and safe way to correct unattractive front teeth. Porcelain veneers correct heavy permanent stains, teeth that are crooked, disproportionate, small (with spaces), and structurally damaged. Porcelain veneers are shells of ceramic material that can be chemically bonded to tooth structure. Porcelain veneers are the primary treatment modality for the popular extreme makeovers.
Composite White Fillings (Complete in 1 Appointment)
Fillings and crowns can now be "invisible" thanks to composites that restore your tooth's natural color, form and aesthetics. These materials function as well as or better than conventional silver amalgam fillings. Composites strengthen teeth while amalgams weaken them. It is easy to see why composites are the best choice for most dental restorations.
Porcelain Crowns (Complete in 2 Appointments)
When Invisible Fillings or Veneers cannot restore your smile's original look, we can create Porcelain Crowns to cover the entire tooth. Crowns strengthen and improve your tooth's appearance and is typically used when a tooth’s damage is beyond the scope of more conservative esthetic procedures mentioned earlier. However, if enough healthy tooth structure remains, your dentist may conserve what’s left and restore the tooth to a natural appearance with an inlay, which fits within the contours of a tooth, or an onlay, which is similar but also covers some of the chewing surface of a tooth.
Tooth Whitening (Complete in 1 Appointment)
Tooth whitening is a popular and conservative method of removing dental stains and whitening teeth. Custom-made bleaching trays and syringes containing a safe bleaching gel. Teeth bleaching gels for home use are usually of thick viscosity, pleasant-tasting, and contain carbamide peroxide at different concentrations. Tooth whitening involves two short office visits. The first one is for taking impressions for the custom-fabricated trays and the second one to pick up the trays and the bleaching agent. One needs to wear the gel-containing trays only two or more hours for a few days. The teeth bleaching results on yellow/brown teeth are most dramatic.
Bonding (Complete in 2 Appointments)
Bonding can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked, stained, or have spaces between them. With bonding, tooth-colored materials are applied, or bonded, to the tooth surface.
Enamel Shaping (Complete in 1 Appointment)
Enamel Shaping involves modifying teeth to improve their appearance by removing or contouring enamel. The process, which often is combined with bonding, usually is quick and comfortable and the results can be seen immediately.
Braces are not just for kids. Orthodontics may be needed if teeth are crooked, crowded or do not meet properly. If your dentist thinks you should see a specialist for treatment, he or she will refer you to an orthodontist.
