Teeth whitening can brighten teeth that have lot their luster due to discoloration and staining. It is a quick and effective procedure that can be performed in our office. The whitening solution is applied directly to the teeth and dramatic results are visible within an hour. To achieve better results, several appointments may be needed but the first treatment usually brings about a noticeable improvement in your appearance. Over the years the treatment has become very safe and affordable.

Veneers are very thin shells of tooth-colored materials that are affixed to the front surface of stained, chipped, or broken teeth in order to change their color, shape, or size. They are custom made from either porcelain or resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers are more resistant to stains and have light reflecting properties similar to natural teeth, while the resin ones are thinner and require less of the tooth surface to be removed before placement.

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are fixed over a tooth to restore its shape and strength, while also improving its appearance. When secured into place, a crown fully covers the entire visible area of a tooth above the gum line. There are both temporary and permanent options. Permanent crowns come in different materials: metals, porcelain-fused-to-metal, all-resin, all-ceramic or all-porcelain. They help protect a weak tooth from breaking, or to hold a cracked tooth together.
