Cosmetic Dentistry

A dental veneer is a procedure that can aesthetically improve your smile.

Veneers are thin shells made of either porcelain, ceramic or acrylic. They cover a tooth that has been stained, chipped or has an irregular form. They may also be used for large fillings.

At home teeth whitening using custom made trays and a peroxide based gel can remove internal stains (coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, etc.) accumulated over the years. This painless procedure is designed to lighten the color and give a glowing and youthful appearance to your teeth.

This totally safe treatment does not weaken the enamel of your teeth.

Dental bonding and restorations help to improve the appearance of teeth that have been broken, decayed or otherwise damaged. With dental bonding, resin materials are used to repair minor imperfections, such as chips and cracks, and to fill in diastemas, or gaps between the teeth.

More extensive restorations, such as crowns and bridges, can be used to shore up severely damaged teeth (crowns) or to replace a missing tooth or a stretch of several missing teeth.

Another related cosmetic service involves replacing amalgam (or silver mercury) fillings with composite tooth-colored ones that do not detract from the smile.
