Teeth Whitening

Your smile is the first thing others notice about you, so it's important to keep it looking bright. If you're like the rest of us, you have most likely adopted habits that don't exactly lead to white teeth. Coffee? Soda? Red wine? Smoking?

Having a dazzling white smile is now quick, easy, and more affordable than ever! Most patients opt for our take-home whitening treatment. We make custom trays for you -- they're thin, comfortable, and easy to wear. You simply wear your trays for 30 minutes a day in the convenience of your own home. The new professional-strength whitening gel offers great results with less sensitivity. Results are often seen after one day. Optimum natural whiteness usually occurs when the process is continued for a week to ten days.

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are a beautiful way to create a natural-looking smile. Light passes through porcelain crowns much the way it does through natural teeth, so people will never know you have crowns!

Porcelain Inlays & Onlays

Dental inlays and onlays are solid fillings used to restore damaged or decayed teeth. They are often needed when there is not enough healthy tissue left in the tooth to support a regular filling. (If a tooth is severely damaged, a crown may be necessary to cover the entire surface instead of an inlay or onlay.) Unlike regular fillings, they strengthen rather than weaken teeth. Inlays lie within the cusps, or bumps, on the surface of a tooth, while onlays cover one or more cusps. They are often placed over two visits: one in which the tooth is prepared, a temporary filling is placed and an impression is made, and one in which the specially constructed inlay or onlay is cemented onto the tooth. Inlays and onlays made of composite resin or porcelain are tooth-colored, while those made of gold alloy offer increased strength and durability.

Bonding

Bonding can improve the appearance of chipped, broken, cracked and stained teeth and spaces between teeth. Dentists apply a thin layer of tooth-colored composite resin to the teeth to restore chips and cracks, fill in gaps or cover stains, and provide patients with a more attractive and functional smile.

First, a thin layer of plastic material is applied to the tooth's surface. Then the dentist sculpts the bonding material to the desired shape and bonds it to the tooth using a special light. The bonding material comes in many colors so it will be possible to match the shade of your teeth. Once the plastic has hardened, it is polished until it is entirely smooth. The procedure takes one to two hours and the bonding lasts about 7-11 years.

Tooth Colored Fillings

Unsightly metal fillings can make an otherwise perfect set of teeth look unattractive. Now there are fillings specially designed to match the natural color of the tooth. Directly-bonded, tooth-colored resin fillings can make a tooth look like new, whether they are used for small areas of decay or to replace current fillings.
