A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of your face.
Even a subtle change can make a big difference in the way
you look and feel. Techniques, like the ones listed below,
can create a stunning smile with minimal changes to your existing
teeth.

| Whitening is
a very popular procedure in cosmetic dentistry. It
is a simple, effective, permanent technique for obtaining
a dazzling, whiter smile at home in a matter of days. |
 |
 |
Veneers are laboratory
fabricated, porcelain facings that are bonded to the
front surfaces of teeth to whiten teeth, close spaces,
straighten teeth, or repair chipped or worn teeth.
The veneers are only about 1 mm thick (the thickness
of a fingernail). That same thickness is "shaved"
off the natural tooth surface so when the veneer is
bonded to the tooth, the tooth doesn't feel or look
"thicker". |
Crowns
|
|
For more heavily compromised teeth,
a traditional treatment has been a crown restoration,
which can take several separate appointments. |
|
|
Using the CEREC
method, crown restoration is completed in a single
appointment. No impressions, no temporary crowns -
no need for a second injection. |
|
|
A treatment time of one to two hours
is normal. |
|
|
White
fillings replace silver or gold fillings
with a more natural looking tooth-colored material.
Since teeth are translucent, dark fillings cause
the whole tooth to appear darker when viewed from
the side. Replacing older dark fillings with white
fillings will keep your smile glowing!
