Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are a fantastic way to fix front teeth. You can whiten your teeth, close spaces, and create a great smile. We can even do virtually instant orthodontics to straighten crooked teeth. The following problems can often be quickly fixed using veneers:
- Spaces between the teeth (diastemas)
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Unsightly, stained or washed out fillings
- Permanently stained or discolored teeth
- Mis-shapen or crooked teeth
- Whiten dark yellow or stained teeth
Tooth Whitening: Whitening is a simple procedure that helps Darkened or yellowed teeth regain their true luster. We offer both an in-office and take home variety - in office whitening can often lighten teeth by several shades in under an hour! Shade samples are available to choose the level of whitening that's right for you - just ask your dentist.
Bonding: Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately "bonds" the material to the tooth to restore or improve person's smile. Although many of the procedures previous done with bonding are now done with veneers, bonding can provide a cost effective alternative under certain circumstances. Your dentist will work with you to examine the different options available.
Recontouring: Recontouring is an effective method to correct minor imperfections, such as:
- Fixing small chips
- Smoothing out bulges or pits in a tooth's enamel
- Adjusting slight irregular tooth shapes caused by too many or uneven teeth
- Adjusting the length of the canines (the pointed teeth on the side of your mouth)
Recontouring can also improve overall dental health by removing crevices or overlaps between teeth in which plaque or tartar can accumulate.
All-Porcelain Crowns, Onlays and Inlays: Porcelain is often the material of choice to use for dental work. It resists stains better than other materials and better mimics the light reflecting properties of teeth to give you a natural looking smile. Your dentist will work with you to insure that the proper material is used for your particular dental needs.
