Cosmetic and General Dentistry

Porcelain Veneers are a fantastic way to repair or enhance the appearance of front teeth.  They can be used to whiten teeth, close spaces and create a great smile.  Using veneers, we can even perform virtually "instant orthodontics" to straighten crooked teeth and give you the bright smile you always wanted.

Whitening

Teeth Whitening, also know as tooth whitening, is one of the most popular cosmetic dentist procedures performed today. Although over-the-counter teeth whitening products are now available, nothing will make your teeth as white as professional teeth whitening systems. The most popular teeth whitening systems are dentist-fabricated tray systems and one-hour power bleaching by Zoom™ and Brite Smile™.

Our Zoom system is the same one used on the Extreme Makeover television show. It takes approximately one-and-a-half (1.5) hours and can lighten your teeth 8-10 shades. The take home Bleach system requires a custom mouth guard and twenty (20) one-and-a-half-hour applications.

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.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are very thin, tooth-colored shells that are custom-fit and bonded to the front sides of teeth to close gaps, cover stains and discolorations, and correct chipped or misshapen teeth to give you a bright, even, attractive smile.

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.

Dentures

Implants have been a major breakthrough for denture wearers. Those people who have been unhappy with their removable prostheses may now be able to wear implant-supported dentures, or fixed bridgework. Many people believe that once they have dentures, they no longer need regular dental care. Denture wearers require regular exams to ensure their health, comfort and appearance. Gum tissues are in a constant state of change. Periodic relining of the dentures may be necessary to ensure a tight and comfortable fit.

White Fillings

The back teeth are noticeable when we talk and especially when we laugh. Seeing dark, unsightly areas of metal can detract from what otherwise might be a perfect set of teeth. If you are concerned about how your fillings look, relax -- we have several options available to correct this. Directly placed, bonded tooth-colored resin fillings can make a tooth look like new, whether they are used for small areas of decay or to replace current fillings.
