- VeneersBoth composite bonding and porcelain veneers are common solutions to the problems listed above. Adding composite color-matched bonding material is an in-office procedure used to fill in gaps and repair chipped teeth to their original form and function, while porcelain veneers are bonded to the front of teeth to create a bright, even, aesthetically pleasing smile for patients.
- CrownsEver wonder how many times this happens? The mother of a six month-old was holding her daughter when the infant’s head jerked and hit the mom in the mouth, breaking her front teeth. Fortunately, the husband brought his wife to visit me the same day, and I prepared the remainder of the tooth for a crown. I applied a temporary covering to help her go about her busy schedule for the next few days, before she received a permanent porcelain-gold crown.

- Root Canal TreatmentDr. Mintzer gave me a very thorough exam and asked about all the medications that I take before recommending a course of treatment to eliminate the infection and save not just one front tooth-but two. I also learned that one of the medications that I’ve taken in the past can possibly hinder the bone from healing if a tooth is pulled. Dr. Mintzer performed a root canal on one of the teeth and referred me to an excellent specialist for the second root canal, which was much more complicated.
- DenturesYou can imagine the embarrassment of one of my senior patients whose dog had chewed up his full upper denture. After several visits, I was able to give him a new denture with fully restored form and function. What a relief to have his teeth and smile back!

- Teeth WhiteningThere are several methods available for bleaching the teeth. Laser bleaching is done in our office. One session generally lasts one and a half to two hours, and you can read or relax during the treatment. For at-home bleaching, we make an impression of your teeth and create a custom mouth guard that fits your bite. Each day you fill the mouth guard with a small amount of bleaching gel and wear it for 30 minutes. The time needed to complete the at-home bleaching process varies from person to person, but usually takes about two weeks.
- Cosmetic DentistryWe strive to ensure that every one of our patients leaves happy, with a brighter smile than when they arrived. No matter what you are here for, we make certain that the results are aesthetically pleasing to you. We emphasize our expertise at cosmetic dentistry in any and all procedures we perform. Tooth whitening, bonding to repair chips, and using white composite fillings are only the few of the ways we can give you the smile you’ve always wanted!
