Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain restorations that are fused to the front of teeth that create the image of a completely new tooth. When placed side-by-side on the teeth across the front of the mouth, an entire smile can be completely made over. Porcelain veneers provide the most dramatic approach a smile makeover. You may select the color you want your teeth to be, and even design the shape and size, creating a uniform, ideal appearance from ear to ear.
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding uses a tooth-colored filling material to reshape, repair, or cover a tooth so it looks healthy and natural. Each bonded area is carefully color-matched so it blends in with the rest of your tooth. Bonding is often used between gapped teeth or on the chipped edges of teeth in the front of the mouth. It’s one of the easiest ways to change your smile, only adjusting a few teeth in the process.
Full-Mouth Restoration
Our full-mouth restoration approach allows our doctors to create a customized, tooth-by-tooth plan that not only restores the health and function to your smile, it recreates its beauty as well. Most of our full-mouth restoration patients have a combination of treatments such as porcelain crowns, bridges, implants, bonding, or tooth-colored fillings. We’ll enact your plan in phases based on your priorities and personal goals. Each patient’s care plan begins with a comprehensive smile evaluation, digital photographs, full-mouth digital X-rays, and a one-on-one consultation with one of our dentists.
Minimal-Prep Veneers
Minimal-prep veneers offer less tooth preparation which protects healthy tooth enamel and makes them completely reversible should you ever decide to have them removed. Minimal-prep veneers are made out of a semi-translucent resin material, giving a more naturally shaded appearance once they are bonded to your teeth. Teeth naturally have several different shades, ranging from one shade near the gum-line to another shade closer to the biting edge. That natural gradation is preserved with minimal-prep veneers.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth naturally become darker over time, anything we eat or drink may affect the color of our enamel. Even medications can make our teeth darker than they ought to be. Smile whitening is a healthy way to remove years of stain, creating naturally whiter smiles for our patients.
Tooth Re-Contouring
Sometimes our teeth’s shape is what gives our smile a unique appearance. Re-Contouring is a treatment that involves smoothing, adjusting, or reshaping the teeth so that there is a more uniform appearance across the mouth. The technique is straightforward, comfortable, and can typically be finished in just one appointment.
