Cosmetic Dentistry

Benefits and Procedures
What can cosmetic dentistry do for you?
State-of-the-art technology and techniques can shape, lengthen, lighten, and even straighten your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry can improve your appearance and SMILE. It can also prevent serious dental problems resulting from decayed or damaged teeth.

The following list of services can dramatically and positively affect your SMILE.

Natural-looking crowns and bridges

Apply an artificial "crown", or cap with a completely natural look to restore decayed, broken or brittle teeth.

Or, when a gap or space develops between two natural teeth, a replacement tooth can bridge the gap. The replacement tooth is connected to two crowns which are applied to the natural teeth on either side of the gap, bridging the empty space. This prevents teeth from drifting into the gap, and helps protect you from serious problems such as a sore jaw, gum disease, or even decay which can develop when a tooth is missing.

Cosmetic bonding

Natural-looking, tooth-colored material can be applied to repair or restore teeth that are chipped, cracked, or crooked. This involves coating damaged teeth with a bonding liquid, then applying a glass-like resin which, when hardened, is sculpted into the proper shape.

Teeth-lightening

Today’s new technology can lighten stained or discolored teeth for a healthy, whiter SMILE. We offer in-office teeth-lightening using the Rembrandt system which only takes approximately one hour. We also offer a take home lightening system.

Tooth-colored fillings

The natural look of new, non-metallic, tooth-colored fillings can replace old, silver or gold metallic fillings which tend to blacken over time. These modern fillings are used when a cavity develops or an old filling breaks. Compared to metallic ones, these tooth-colored fillings are less sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. They are bonded to the tooth and offer more support to the remaining tooth structure. The result is a more natural-looking tooth. Tooth-colored fillings also tend to require less drilling.

Instant orthodontics

Porcelain veneers are like contact lenses that form a shell or cap over teeth and can be applied easily and quickly to make crooked or misshapen teeth look straight. This treatment can transform chipped, worn, or discolored teeth into healthy, natural-looking SMILES. Porcelain veneers can change a nice smile into a dazzling SMILE!
