Porcelain Veneers

In the past, crooked, gapped or overlapping teeth took a long time to correct. But with porcelain veneers, thin, translucent facings applied directly to the front of your teeth, a magnificent new smile can be created in just two to three visits.

Teeth Whitening

We offer one of the most state-of-the-art whitening systems on the market today - the Zoom!® In-Office Whitening System - which uses a special gel and light activation to make your smile nine to ten shades brighter in just one visit.

Of course, if you'd rather lift the stains more gradually at home, trays and bleaching gels can also be provided.

Metal-Free Dentistry

We use only natural-looking porcelain for all our fillings and restorations. Not only is porcelain more pleasing to look at, it is also much healthier for you than metal. Metal expands and contracts when exposed to variations in temperature. Over time, this can cause small openings to form where bacteria can enter the tooth, causing further damage. If you have metal fillings already, our doctors encourage you to have them removed and replaced.

Smile Makeovers

A Smile Makeover is a complete transformation of your smile. Dull, discolored teeth can be whitened. Crooked, gapped or overlapping teeth can be corrected by veneers. Missing teeth can be replaced. Chipped teeth can be repaired. Protruding gums can be recontoured. If you have any outdated metal fillings, they can be removed and replaced with natural-looking porcelain. The results are dramatic, and can usually be accomplished in a few visits.

Gum Contouring

If your smile shows more gum than teeth, our doctors can change that with a simple procedure called gum contouring. Using a topical anesthetic for numbing and a small laser to quickly reshape the gum line, they can create a more beautiful smile in just one visit. The laser even seals the gum so the healing process begins immediately.

Bonding

Bonding is a method of restoring decayed teeth, making aesthetic improvements, changing the color of teeth or reshaping teeth with a composite resin filling. First, a thin coating of a plastic material is applied to the front surface of the teeth. A bonding material is then applied, sculpted and colored to provide an attractive, natural-looking result.

Replacing Missing Teeth

Dental implants offer a permanent solution to the problem of missing teeth. Implants are artificial tooth roots placed into your bone to hold replacement teeth in place. Dental implants are an ideal option for anyone in good general health who has lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, injury or decay.

Porcelain Veneers

The inlays and onlays created by our doctors are so natural-looking, they're virtually indistinguishable from the healthy tooth. So whether you need an inlay to restore the area inside the cusps of your tooth or an onlay to restore that area and more, you'll have a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you'll be proud to share with everyone.

Invisalign®

Invisalign removable aligners are another way of straightening your teeth without the discomfort and unsightliness of braces. Invisalign aligners may not give you the instant results of porcelain veneers, but they do their job well and they do it invisibly.
