SERVICES >> Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer a variety of cosmetic procedures to enhance your smile and boost your self-confidence including whitening, enamel recontouring, tissue recontouring, bonding, and porcelain veneers.
Whitening
Tooth whitening works wonders for your smile and is a popular service with our patients. The treatment is successful in most patients but depends on several factors, one of the most important being the original tooth color. Teeth with yellow, brown, or orange discoloration respond well to whitening treatment. Teeth with gray, tetracycline, or tobacco stain may require longer treatment.
We offer several whitening options to fit your needs and budget, including ZOOM with custom trays, custom trays only with two different Opalescence strengths of gel, Crest professional strength white strips, and Treswhite Opalescence.
Whitening treatments last from one to five years depending on your personal habits. We recommend that you get a touch-up periodically.
Enamel Recontouring
When only a small change is necessary to improve your smile, enamel recontouring is an effective option. The procedure involves reshaping or smoothing the enamel. No anesthesia is necessary.
Tissue Recontouring
Excess gum tissue can cause anterior teeth to look irregular or too small. Tissue recontouring involves removing gum and some bone to change the appearance and size of the anterior teeth.
Bonding
Bonding is an affordable way to correct an esthetic problem. We use composite resin, a type of bonding material, to fix a chipped tooth or to cover an entire tooth and change its shape or color. We complete the procedure in one appointment, usually without using anesthesia.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are more durable and resistant to stain than bonding. They are made of thin ceramic material give a more natural appearance. They are used to improve a smile by masking discoloration, poor contour, or poor spacing. The thin shells are custom made in a laboratory and then bonded to the tooth.
