Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services can give you the smile you've always wanted. We offer a variety of services including whitening, veneers and crowns.
Whitening
A white, bright smile can help create a youthful appearance. We offer a number of different whitening options, depending upon your needs. We recommend that you consult with your dentist to determine which option is best for you. Your dentist may need to perform an exam to determine if your teeth are healthy enough for whitening.
In-office only:
If you are a candidate for whitening, your dentist may suggest a procedure called chair side or in-office whitening, and it may be completed in as little as one visit. During an in-office whitening procedure, the dentist will apply either a protective gel to your gums or a rubber shield to protect your oral soft tissues. A whitening agent is then applied to your teeth, and a special light may be used to enhance the action of the agent.
Combination in-office and at home:
Custom take-home whitening products typically come in a gel which is dispensed into a tray or mouthguard. These trays are made by your dentist to fit your teeth precisely. Usage may vary depending on the product. Some products are used twice a day for approximately 2 weeks, while others are intended for overnight use for 1-2 weeks.
At home:
We offer a professional alternative to common over-the-counter whitening options. It's a simple and fast whitening treatment that can also be used for whitening touch-ups. It uses prefilled, disposable trays that don't require impressions or custom trays.
Veneers
Veneers are ultra-thin shells made of porcelain or a composite resin material, which are bonded to the front of teeth. This procedure requires little or no anesthesia and may be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of your front teeth.
Porcelain veneers are created in a dental laboratory from a mold that is taken after the teeth have been prepared. A second appointment is required for placement of the porcelain veneers.
Lumineers are a brand of porcelain veneers that require little to no removal of tooth structure. They require 2-3 dental visits and are a great solution for stained, chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth.
Composite resin veneers can generally be done in a single appointment. The dentist bonds and sculpts composite filling material onto your teeth after a small amount of preparation.

Crowns
A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance. A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
