- VeneersChips, cracks, gaps, misalignment and discolorations in the front teeth can detract from the rest of your facial cosmetics. Today porcelain veneers can be easily placed over your front teeth and can painlessly correct these imperfections to help you acheive a magnificent smile. Veneers are thin custom lab made porcelain that is bonded to your teeth to accomplish a healthy, natural looking and beautiful smile in two visits.
- CrownsWhen a tooth is cracked, decayed, or damaged, a dental crown may need to be fitted onto the tooth. A dental crown is a permanent covering that fits over the original tooth. Crowns can be made of porcelain, gold and other metals, acrylic resin, or an amalgam (a mix) of these materials. Porcelain crowns typically have the most realistic appearance, although they tend to be less durable than other materials. Dental crowns can whiten, reshape, and realign existing teeth, adding to a healthy and vibrant smile.
- BridgesTooth loss, significant decay and fractures can dramatically affect your appearance and make you look older. Today’s crowns and bridges are more beautiful than ever before. You do not have to worry about metal showing if your gums recede. We can strengthen your weak tooth from breaking with a natural look.
- Dental BondingFull-mouth restoration involves restoring the teeth, bite, and muscles back to a natural looking and youthful-feeling condition, making sure function and esthetics are in conjuntion. With full mouth restoration, we can utilize a combination of cosmetic dentistry techniques, including porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, dental bonding, and teeth whitening. Using computerized technology and an artistic eye, full-mouth restoration may be the answer to many problems, such as heat sensitive teeth, sore jaw muscles, and recurring headaches.

If you have advanced pocketing we may recommend you have antiobiotic therapy directed inserted into problem areas. Our hygienist is specially trained to aid in the prevention of advanced periodontal pocketing and will address your options to maintain healthy gums.
- DenturesIf you’re missing one tooth or all of your teeth, implants may well be for you. So long as you have enough bone in the area of the missing tooth to facilitate the anchorage of the implants, this procedure can yield terrific results. If you don’t have enough bone for this purpose, a bone graft may be necessary. If you have a smll dental bridge or parial dentures (removable type), implants will be a welcome alternative. Implants are an alternative to a fixed bridge. The implant will last a lifetime, but the crown on top of it will last ten to fifteen years.
- Dental ImplantsThere are some medical factors that might prevent a person from being a good candidate for dental implants. Some of these may be uncontrolled diabetes, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, parathyroid disorders, blood disorders, rare bone disorders or bone marrow cancer. Some physical factors may include insufficient or poor quality bone, low sinuses or nerve bundles.
- Orthodontics
- Invisalign Orthodontics® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You simply pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete and you achieve the confident smile that you’ve always wanted. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.
- Teeth WhiteningTeeth whitening can be done in one of two ways: or at-home tooth whitening kits provided by a cosmetic dentist. Both of these methods are done under a dentist’s supervision so that the chance of negative side effects is reduced.
- Cosmetic DentistryTeeth whitening, or tooth bleaching, is a cosmetic dentistry procedure designed to remove stains and dicoloration, as well as lighten pigmentation within the teeth. The level of whiteness that can be achieved will depend on the level of discoloration of the teeth and how they came to be stained. Teeth that are brown or yellow due to coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking stains will generally lighten four to five shades. Teeth that are gray due to pigmentation within the teeth will lighten two to three shades. Every case is individual. You are invited to come in to our office to see if you are a candidate for this proceedure.
- General DentistryDefinitely, but most Americans don’t brush during the workday. Yet a recent survey by Oral-B Labor-atories and Academy of general Dentistry shows if you keep a toothbrush at work, the chances you will brush during the day increases by 65 percent. Dentists recommend keeping a toothbrush at work.
