COSMETIC DENTISTRY
WHITENING
Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.
To accomplish the whitening of your teeth, we utilize a tray whitening system. This tray whitening system is completed in two steps:
-
The first step is to make an impression of your teeth. With this impression, we'll craft you custom whitening trays that you can use over and over.
-
Finally, you will take the whitening gel and put it in the tray for a short period of time over a period of a few days.
This often results in a whiter smile of 4 - 8 shades!
​
We also offer pre-filled disposable whitening trays.
-
7 upper and 7 lower trays using professional strength gels.
-
Pleasant mint taste and provide flexibility to whiten when convenient.
-
Clinically proven to provide consistent and dramatic results.
-
No custom trays are required.
​
AND we offer an in-house whitening treatment. This is done by our hygienists at one appointment with a follow-up. If you want to whiten quickly and effectively for an immediate result, this is for you!

VENEERS
Veneers are an excellent way to redesign and reshape your entire mouth. A veneer is a very thin ceramic shell that covers your existing tooth structure. In placing these new veneers on your teeth, you are able to fix issues such as staining, cracked teeth, spaces, misaligned teeth, chipped teeth and many other issues.
​
Replacing veneers is a process that takes approximately two to three visits. At the first visit, we will discuss the new shape and look of what we are going to accomplish by placing the veneers. Once we have put a plan in place, we will carefully prepare the teeth for the placement of the new veneers. An impression of the newly prepared teeth is then taken. This impression will be sent to our laboratory for the final product to be fabricated. We only utilize the highest standard laboratory for fabrication of all of our work. This process at the laboratory takes between 10-14 days. While the new veneers are being fabricated at the lab, we will provide you with a beautiful temporary solution to wear for this time.
​
As the veneers are finalized, we will make every effort to make sure that your new veneers will feel just like your natural teeth. We will bond them into place ensuring that you can enjoy your new smile for a very long time!
BONDING
Bonding is a popular method to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Bonding can be used to correct cracks or gaps in teeth, as a filling after a cavity has been removed or to cover up stains or discolored teeth.
​
A composite resin is used on the affected tooth or teeth. It is molded and sculpted on the tooth. After the resin has been applied, an LED light is used to harden the resin which is then polished to give you a fresh, new smile.
​
Bonding is a safe, affordable and attractive solution for many dental problems.
