A smile can be the most important part of the face. It expresses so many emotions and determines how other people see you. Sometimes though, your smile doesn’t accurately reflect how you feel on the inside. Teeth with chips, stains and gaps can make your smile seem less friendly. But thanks to new technology, we can make your smile truly reflect how you feel.

With cosmetic dentistry, we can change almost anything about your smile. Often these procedures are quick and the results are obvious soon after the treatment. Let us know your concerns about your smile, and we will show you all the latest possibilities.

UNDERSTANDING NEW PROCEDURES

Whitening
Whitening is a procedure that brightens stained, discolored or darkened teeth due to age, diet or smoking. Performed in our office or in the comfort of your home, whitening restores your smile and confidence. Chair side bleaching uses an oxidizing gel that is activated by light and you’ll notice immediate results. Home bleaching utilizes custom nightguard trays which hold the bleaching gel until it is convenient for you to apply. Noticeable results are achieved within 1-2 weeks.

Composite Fillings
Composite resins are tooth-colored, plastic materials (made of glass and resin) that are used both as fillings and to repair defects in the teeth. Because they are tooth-colored, it is difficult to distinguish them from natural teeth. Composites are often used on the front teeth where a natural appearance is important. They can be used on the back teeth as well depending on the location and extent of the tooth decay. Composite resins are usually more costly than amalgam fillings.

Veneers
A veneer placed on the front of your teeth can correct nature's mistake or the results of an injury and help you have a beautiful smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. They're made by a dental technician working from a model provided by your dentist.
