Dentistry has certainly changed. Not only has dentistry become virtually painless but now we have the technology and capability to transform peoples' teeth to give them the "Hollywood" smile they always dreamed of.
With techniques such as bonding, veneers, implants, porcelain crowns and professional bleaching, we can improve and makeover virtually anyone's smile in as little as one or two visits - all in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. |

| Porcelain Veneers |
|
| Porcelain veneers are routinely used to cover teeth which are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned. |
|
|
Porcelain veneers, often alternatively termed dental veneers or dental porcelain laminates, are wafer-thin shells of porcelain which are bonded onto the front side of teeth in order to cosmetically improve their appearance.
Typically veneers are difficult to stain, making veneers a very popular solution for many people seeking that perfect smile. Strong and very durable, veneers last from ten to fifteen years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth without the worry of them changing color. Veneers are typically done in only two one and a half hour long appointments, and can actually strengthen your tooth. |

| Bonding |
|
Composite bonding can work wonders for your smile. Using materials that match the shade, translucency and the texture of your teeth, gaps between teeth can be closed, spots and discolorations can be eliminated, and your self-confidence can be enhanced through the improved appearance of your smile. Composite bonding is excellent for small defects in the teeth -- spots, chips, or gaps between teeth. For smile alterations involving an entire tooth or multiple teeth, porcelain is the material of choice.
Bonding for teeth involves the use of composite resin tooth-colored filling material. This material can be used on the anterior (front) teeth or posterior (back) teeth. The procedure is sometimes referred to as bonding is because an adhesive agent is used to actually bond the resin to the tooth structure. |

| Restorative Dentistry |
|
For most fillings on back teeth we use a natural looking, cosmetic resin. This is a strong, plastic material that is easy to apply and difficult to detect. This material produces a long lasting, natural looking filling.
When the size of a cavity is too large for this material, we are then able to use ceramic, tooth colored partial crowns called onlays. These onlays are usually made in 2 visits to the office and are also a durable, cosmetic solution. |

Crest Whitestrips Supreme
Brightening your smile doesn't have to involve mouth trays or containers of bleach. We offer a simpler method: Crest Whitestrips Supreme. The Whitestrips are clear, thin and flexible strips coated with a peroxide bleaching gel to help whiten teeth quickly and easily. They only need to be worn for 30 minutes twice a day for 21 days (more may be necessary for particularly stained teeth) and results can last up to a year.
Crest Whitestrips Supreme have double the whitening strength of over-the-counter white strips. This version of Crest Whitening Strips is only available from a licensed dentist. As always optimum results with any whitening treatment will vary from patient to patient. We recommend a thorough cleaning with our trained hygiene department before any whitening treatment. |
