Cosmetic Services
Looking for a beautiful smile? Cosmetic dentistry is any procedure that improves appearance of teeth, gums or bite. These procedures are elective and not covered by dental insurance.
WHITENING
There are different ways to whiten your teeth, from over the counter Crest strips to in-office professional bleaching. We offer three ways to whiten your teeth: in-office whitening, custom molded take home trays or combination of the first two. While results vary from patient to patient, we found out that best results are achieved by combining in office bleaching with wearing professionally made custom trays at home. The duration of each treatment cycle is dependent on the results desired for each patient.
BONDING
Bonding is a cosmetic procedure done to change the appearance of your teeth. It can be used to alter the shape, size or color as well as close gaps between teeth. Bonding is a less expensive and less invasive procedure than veneers or crowns.
TRANSITIONAL BONDING
When extensive dental therapy is needed, as in cases of wear, interim restorations can be fabricated. The process is called transitional bonding. The tooth structure is replaced using composite restorations, which over time, are replaced by permanent porcelain restorations.
TOOTH COLOR RESTORATIONS
Do your teeth need to be restored, but you’re concerned that the restoration color won’t match? Our office is amalgam free. We use composite fillings to make teeth look natural. Tooth colored restoration using composite fillings can be done in a single visit.
COLOR CORRECTION OF A SINGLE TOOTH
Sometimes, due to trauma, a tooth can become discolored. There are a variety of procedures to correct single tooth discoloration. Many are extremely invasive such as crowns or veneers. We use special bleaching techniques that avoid removal of the tooth structure.
VENEERS
Veneers are an excellent way to improve stained or crooked teeth, including those with discolored fillings. Porcelain veneers, bonded to the surfaces of your teeth, have a longer life expectancy then composite restorations, and are resistant to staining from food.
