Veneers

Veneers are a very good alternative to crowns in some situations. Veneers can also be used for cosmetic purposes, masking stained or damaged teeth.

Veneers are comprised of thin shells of porcelain or composite material and bonded to the front of your existing teeth, which your dentist has prepared. The procedure requires little or no anesthesia. Veneers will last many years, making it a smart way to improve your smile.

Whitening

Do you have a special day in your future? Or perhaps, you just want to look your best every day?

Teeth whitening is a great way to brighten your smile by safely lightening the color of your teeth. The best way to do that is tooth bleaching, under your dentist’s supervision. It can be difficult to determine which over the counter products are safe and cost-effective. Our office is happy to help.

Tooth bleaching is successful in 90% of patients. For example, it works best on stained teeth but is less-effective on grayed by tetracycline use. It may not be recommended if you have very sensitive teeth or periodontal disease. However, consider whitening if your teeth have darkened from age, coffee, tea or smoking.

Inquire about whitening, you may be surprised at how affordable it can be!
