Cosmetic dentistry to give you the smile of your dreams.
Teeth whitening and bleaching, porcelain veneers, white filling, inlays and onlays—so many different options to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Your oral health. Your vision of a gorgeous smile. The dynamics of your face, mouth, and skin tone. Those are the things that matter to our dentists. In fact, we encourage our patients to bring in photos of their favorite celebrity smiles so that we can pinpoint what makes a perfect smile to you. That way, when we plan your smile makeover, you can be sure that it’s going to suit your personality and unique style. Our dentist will explain your options and show you computer imaging, before-and-after photos, or even a wax model, so you can see what’s possible with the right treatment plan. Your input will help us determine how to give you the smile you want, and the time involved will be entirely determined by the procedures you want and need.
Cosmetic dental options for every need.
Teeth Whitening & Bleaching
As most of us know, keeping our teeth their whitest isn’t easy. Even with proper maintenance, discoloration from coffee, wine, smoking, staining foods—and even age—can leave your teeth a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter.
Teeth whitening is accomplished by utilizing a tray whitening system, which is completed in 2 steps. First, we make an impression of your teeth from which we create custom whitening trays that you can use over and over. Next, once the trays are ready, you fill them with whitening gel and put them on for a short period of time over the course of several days. The results is a whiter smile—sometimes by 4 to 8 shades!
Veneers
Veneers are an excellent way to redesign and reshape your entire mouth. They can fix the look of stains, cracked teeth, gaps, misaligned teeth, chipped teeth, and many other issues. A veneer is a thin ceramic shell that covers your existing tooth, and applying veneers that takes as little two visits two the dentist. Once we’ve discussed the new shape and look of the veneers, an impression of the teeth is taken, which is then sent out to a state-of-the-art laboratory for fabrication of the final veneers, which typically takes 10-14 days. During that time, we’ll provide you with a beautiful temporary solution until your veneers arrive.
Not only do veneers look and feel just like your natural teeth, but they are also incredibly durable, ensuring that you can enjoy your new smile for a very long time!
Bonding & White Filling
Bonding is a safe, affordable, and attractive solution for many dental problems. It can be used to correct cracks or gaps in teeth, as a filling after a cavity has been removed, or to cover up stains or discolored teeth. The bond is a composite resin that is molded and sculpted over an adhesive gel and is placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied, an ultraviolet light is used to harden the resin, which is then polished to give you a fresh, new smile.
Bonding is an obvious improvement over unsightly silver amalgam fillings. With the advancements in dental technology, bonding usually lasts for over 10 years.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays—also known as “partial crowns”—are indirect fillings that are used to strengthen and restore the shape of damage or decayed teeth, and prevent further damage. Inlays and onlays are made from porcelain, gold, or composite resin, and are either laid into an existing tooth (inlays), or placed onto an existing tooth (onlays). The first step in the inlay or onlay procedure is to remove the damaged part of the tooth. After that, a mould of the tooth is taken and sent to a state-of-the-art dental lab for creation of the inlay or onlay, which typically takes two to three weeks, and you’ll be given a temporary one while you’re waiting for the final. Once the final is ready, you’ll return to the dentist’s office to have your inlay or onlay set in place. Your new tooth will be beautiful, natural-looking, and extremely durable, and neither you nor anyone else will be able to tell the difference.
