Teeth Whitening

Teeth become discolored by age, tobacco use, certain medications, and staining foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine. Fortunately, in most cases our office can whiten teeth that have become stained. Using the latest technology, we can now perform a complete whitening procedure in a single office visit. Whether you’re 18 or 81, a bright smile can boost your confidence and make you feel better about yourself.

Crowns and Bridges

Key Benefits of Dental Crowns and bridges:

Replaces missing teeth.

Offers support to misshapen teeth or broken teeth.

Looks completely natural.

            Repairs smile and functional chewing problems.

Crowns or caps are dental restorations that are placed over the entire tooth when conservative restorations are not enough to restore form and function. A bridge is a custom-made artificial tooth that fills the gap where a tooth is missing and attaches to the two teeth on either side.

Crowns address aesthetic needs, restore tooth function, enhance the overall health of your mouth and looks completely natural. Where teeth have large broken fillings a crown can protect the remaining natural tooth. Teeth that are root canal treated also need crowns to protect them from cracking or breaking as they become more brittle with time. Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth that is are usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing dental crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause appearance problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and dental bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not.

Crowns and bridges are very reliable solutions for major dental problems caused by accidents, diseases, or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Materials used in these repairs are either high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to metal.​

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain laminate veneers are one of the most esthetic means of creating a more pleasing and beautiful smile. They require a minimal amount of tooth reduction (approximately .5 mm) and are, therefore, a more conservative restoration than a dental crown. Porcelain veneers allow us to alter tooth position, shape, size and color. Veneers are a fantastic way to fix front teeth. You can whiten your teeth, close spaces, and create a great smile.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. As a cosmetic dental procedure, dental veneers create a brighter, whiter smile composed of more perfectly aligned and shapely teeth.

Dental veneers are sometimes placed for cosmetic reasons alone, rather than for necessary health purposes. The translucent quality of today’s porcelain veneers provides a more natural look than what has been available to past generations. This allows a beautiful and natural looking smile. Porcelain material is a perfect solution for the demands of your teeth. Placing custom teeth veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. Despite the cause of unattractive teeth, dental veneers alone have the ability to solve most, if not all, of your cosmetic concerns regarding your smile and existing teeth.

​

These problems include:

Wear and Tear: Teeth naturally wear down as people age. Older teeth are more likely to have cracks, chips, or an uneven appearance.

Worn Enamel: The thin, hard white substance covering your teeth (enamel) may become worn, dulled, and discolored over time.

Uneven Teeth: Uneven length or width of teeth can be result of teeth grinding or general wear.

Certain people may be born with abnormal appearance of teeth or spacing between the teeth that grows wider as they age.
