Professional Tooth Whitening:

Professional tooth whitening is a relatively inexpensive way to make a dramatic statement.

Take-home teeth whitening is a simple, effective and convenient treatment that may enhance your smile and improve the appearance of your teeth. Our Zoom take-home whitening kits can help lighten the stains and discolorations caused by foods, drinks, tobacco use, medication, poor dental hygiene, age and other factors so that you can once again enjoy the benefits of a brilliant white smile.

Our skilled clinicians will begin by taking an impression of your teeth. This impression will be used to create customized whitening trays. After your trays have been made, we will provide you with a powerful Zoom whitening gel. You may wear your trays when it’s convenient for you, day or night. Over the course of several weeks, you should see noticeable improvement in the color of your teeth.

 

Dental Bonding:

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure wherein composite resin material is used to close spaces between teeth, improve misshapen teeth or restore chipped or cracked teeth.  This is a simple and relatively affordable way to dramatically improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile.

The putty-like resin is color matched to your existing teeth and is then shaped and sculpted by one of our talented dentists. After it hardens, it is trimmed and polished resulting in a lasting restoration and a picture – perfect smile.

 

 

Dental Crowns:

Dental crowns are oftentimes used to restore teeth that are badly damaged or decayed; they are also a mainstay in cosmetic dentistry. They greatly improve the appearance of teeth that are cracked, broken or show signs of severe wear due to clenching or grinding.

Dental crowns are long-term, full-coverage restorations that are placed over the existing, prepared tooth. They come in a variety of materials including gold, silver and porcelain. Porcelain is oftentimes preferred as it can be matched beautifully with your existing smile.

 

Veneers:

Veneers are very thin layers of either composite or porcelain that are bonded to the teeth to provide protection and improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile. Our dentists may recommend veneers to correct several types of smile imperfections:

  • Close large spaces and gaps between teeth
  • Whiten teeth that are severely stained or discolored
  • Improve the appearance of irregularly shaped teeth
  • Correct slightly crooked teeth
  • Restore teeth that are broken, chipped, worn or fractured
