Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental bonding is a simple cosmetic solution. It involves the use of a tooth-colored dental resin that is color-matched to your natural teeth. This resin is painted directly onto a tooth in order to conceal fractures, stains, and even minor gaps. Once the bonding material is polished and blended, it is indistinguishable from the natural tooth structure.

Professional teeth whitening is more effective than the over-the-counter teeth whitening products you can pick up at your local store. No more need for whitening toothpastes, rinses, and strips. In fact, a single teeth whitening session can brighten a smile by several shades. The strong and safe bleaching agents will revamp your smile.

Porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic options available today. We use veneers to treat all sorts of cosmetic flaws, including structural damage, stains, gaps, and inconsistencies in shape and sizing. An ultra-thin porcelain shell, the veneer slides over the front of a tooth, masking imperfections from view to revitalize your smile.

Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces and orthodontics. Rather than using brackets and wires, Invisalign relies on clear plastic aligner trays that are easy to remove and virtually invisible. Adults and teens can undergo a convenient and simple orthodontic procedure for several months to a year without anyone noticing.

Porcelain crowns are a cosmetic alternative to metal crowns. These caps are made from durable materials that match the color of the damaged tooth and surrounding teeth. Once in place, the crown caps and protects the tooth underneath. Patients simultaneously experience restored dental function and a beautiful smile.

If you have prominent gums, the gumline dominates your smile. If you suffer from gum recession, the elongated crown of the tooth can look unappealing and could lead to dental health issues. We have numerous periodontal procedures to improve the aesthetics of your gums. Using dental lasers makes these treatments safer and easier.

Dental implants are typically considered a restorative option for missing teeth, yet they also offer cosmetic benefits. These artificial tooth roots are surgically anchored into the jawbone, offering a stable and natural-looking hold. Dental implants can support individual porcelain crowns, bridges, and full sets of dentures.

For more complex cases, our dentists offer smile makeovers. These multi-procedure plans address all sorts of problems, from tooth loss to severe stains.
