We offer a wide variety of cosmetic options. Some of these options are whitening, smile design, recontouring of the shape of the teeth, veneers, bonding,  all ceramic/porcelain crowns and Invisalign -- tooth movement without braces.

WHITENING - 
This is the procedure of making teeth whiter, and therefore more attractive. Our office uses several methods: Opalescence Boost!, passive tray whitening, and professional strength white strips. 

Boost!  is a revolutionary tooth whitening procedure. It's safe effective and fast, very fast. In just over an hour, your teeth will be dramatically whiter. The convenience of Boost! in comparison to days of using strips or wearing trays makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual. The Boost! Whitening procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. The clinician then applies the proprietary Boost! whitening gel that is activated by a specially designed light. Teeth typically become at least six to ten shades whiter, sometimes more. A fluoride treatment completes the procedure. You'll be amazed with the results. In most cases, teeth get even whiter the first few days after the procedure. Trays with gel are recommended afterward for maximum whitening and maintenance.

The tray method involves having impressions taken from which laboratory fabricated custom vinyl trays are made. A carbamide peroxide gel is placed in these trays and the trays with gel are worn for about 3 hours, or overnight. The entire process takes approximately 2 weeks of daily use. Three different strengths of gel may be used, and the strength of the gel used is determined by the likelihood of any tooth sensitivity.

The tray method is recommended for badly stained teeth, such as tetracycline staining, and has shown a significant color improvement after several months.

The end results whether using trays at home or doing Boost! is the same. The cost of the tray method is about half compared to Boost!, and there is usually less post-treatment sensitivity, but of course, Boost! give immediate results for that special occasion.

VENEERS
Veneers are a dental procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside (visible area) of the tooth to mask defects in color, shape or position. Veneers are usually only put over the part of the tooth that is visible when talking or smiling. The veneers can be shaped and sculpted directly on your teeth with tooth colored composite resins or can be fabricated in our lab in beautiful porcelain and placed on your teeth ready made.
The method of placeing any veneer in your mouth is referred to as bonding.

The indirect technique usually involves two appointments because the veneers will be fabricated at a dental laboratory. At the first appointment the teeth are prepared, impressions taken, and the teeth are given a temporary covering. In two to three weeks the veneers are back from the laboratory, the temporaries are removed and the veneers are bonded to the teeth. The laboratory fabricated veneers are usually made using porcelain or pressed ceramic, and are very esthetic.

The advantage of veneers versus crowns is that much less tooth material is removed assuming you are a candidate for veneers.  Crowns  are recommended for teeth that have large fillings or little tooth structure.
