What's one of the first things a person will notice about you? Your smile. Smiling often reflects feelings of confidence and happiness. A dazzling smile may not come naturally to everyone, but it can be worked on. Cosmetic approaches can dramatically improve your smile.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers, available at our practice, are an excellent cosmetic dentistry solution that can mask chips and stains and also correct misaligned teeth. Porcelain veneers are made of a custom-created material that blends in with your existing teeth. The wafer thin porcelain veneers are relatively easy to apply and are very durable. When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains.


Porcelain Crowns

The porcelain crowns are realistic caps that fit over your existing teeth. Porcelain crowns can be used to mask injured, discolored, chipped, or cracked teeth. While serving an aesthetic purpose, porcelain crowns can also provide support and minimize any physical discomfort you may experience associated with damaged teeth.

Take-Home Tooth Whitening

Many of us feel our best when our smiles are bright, white, and clean. Unfortunately, the luster of our teeth can be negatively affected by a number of stain-causing substances such as coffee, soft drinks, tobacco, and tea. Our office offers take-home tooth whitening that allows you to restore your smile.


Tooth-colored feelings.

Cosmetic dentistry may also provide restorative benefits. For example, dental fillings are a common procedure used to treat decayed teeth. Previously, most dental fillings were composed primarily of gold, amalgam, and other materials that left visible dark spots on the teeth. Today, dental fillings may fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry, because you can select fillings made of porcelain or composite materials that closely match the color of your teeth, thus maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth and smile. Many people have their older fillings replaced with newer, tooth-colored fillings to enhance their oral appearance.





Dental inlay

Dental inlays are quickly becoming a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure. They are normally used when there is not enough tooth structure to support a filling. Dental inlays can be made from porcelain, gold, composite or ceramic resin, although porcelain is now becoming our material of choice because of its strength and potential to match the natural color of your tooth. A dental inlay is similar to a filling and lies inside the cusp tips of the tooth. They are custom-made to fit the prepared cavity and are then cemented into place.

The advantages of using a dental inlay are: Highly esthetic No metal shows Strong once bonded to tooth Well-sealed tooth Will not stain Will insulate the tooth Well suited for large cavities Long lasting
