Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is a popular, safe and economical way to change a smile. Teeth whitening procedures can help remove old stains from coffee, wine, tea, smoking or colas and lighten other discolorations in tooth enamel.
Our In-Office Whitening system allows us to whiten your teeth while you relax in the dental chair and listen to your favorite music. We apply a specially formulated light-activated gel to break through old stains and whiten tooth surfaces. This process takes about an hour, and in most cases can make teeth several shades lighter.
We also offer Take-Home Whitening in our practice. Using custom acrylic trays designed to hold whitening gel, wearing these trays for about an hour a day usually lightens teeth after a few weeks.
Note: Over-the-counter bleaching products have some of the same ingredients as professional whitening solutions, however the Food and Drug Administration prohibits these products from containing the same levels of active ingredient as those administered by licensed professionals. The methods of applying these solutions to your teeth (strips, make-at-home molds, trays) often don’t fit or adhere properly to the teeth, causing uneven or insignificant bleaching to occur.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office with your questions about teeth whitening.

Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-designed porcelain coverings that are adhered to the front surfaces of teeth to enhance smile appearance. Because they require minimal tooth preparation, they are often used to make cosmetic changes to otherwise healthy teeth, such as closing gaps, or to restore contour and shape to worn teeth to create a more youthful appearance. They are the ideal solution for minor smile imperfections such as stained, chipped, slightly rotated or overlapped teeth. We can usually complete your veneers in as little as two visits.
The artistic beauty of porcelain makes it the perfect restorative material for dentistry - we combine multiple shades in the veneer fabrication process to achieve the luster and translucency of natural teeth. This highly polished, long-lasting material is resistant to staining from food and beverages so you always have a gorgeous, bright smile!

Porcelain Crowns
A dental crown or “cap” is used to rebuild and cover a tooth that has been structurally compromised by decay, broken-down fillings, or trauma. Crowns can be designed with porcelain facings over metal or all-porcelain, depending on biting forces and location of the tooth in the mouth.
Often patients that have significant staining, aged crown and bridgework, or teeth with large, discolored fillings are self-conscious about their appearance. All-Porcelain crowns are a beautiful, natural-looking way to achieve a fresh new look.
Smile Design
Porcelain Crowns and Veneers are often combined to complete a "smile makeover". Your smile design begins with a thorough examination of the teeth and gums to determine your smile shape, size, symmetry and overall oral health.
We work closely with you to create just the right look - we may use a wax replica of your smile so we can view your design together and make decisions. Our doctors then convey detailed instructions to dental laboratory technicians to fabricate your custom restorations and arrive at the best appearance, fit, bite and speech function.

Dental Bonding and Tooth-Colored Fillings
Dental bonding procedures and tooth-colored composite fillings are a conservative way to restore the natural beauty of teeth. Often used to restore small areas of damage or decay, composite fillings are an excellent option for front teeth and may be recommended to restore minor defects on molars as well.
