What is Bleaching?
|
|
Bleaching lightens and brightens teeth that have been darkened by food, coffee, tea, tobacco, or the yellowing of age. Our team is fully skilled and equipped to offer several different bleaching techniques. Our most popular method provides a clear plastic tray that forms a thin shell around your teeth. The tray holds a gel that usually whitens your teeth over a period of a few weeks. Unlike other products you may have seen in the drug store or on "info-mercials", the bleaching gel we provide is somewhat thick. It clings effectively to your teeth until you are ready to brush it away. The more you apply it, the faster the process occurs.

What Is Bonding?
|
|
Bonding is an application of reinforced, tooth-colored acrylic that adheres to and blends in with the surface of your teeth. Bonding can solve many cosmetic problems affordably. Twisted, chipped, and gapped teeth can often be reshaped through bonding-usually in one office visit! The color of your teeth can be changed with bonding as well. Once the acrylic is sculpted and hardened against your teeth, it can provide years of service in improving your smile.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?
|
|
If you want the best in cosmetic dental treatment, you want veneers! Veneers are tooth-colored porcelain facings custom-made to fit the front of each problem tooth. When applied to your teeth, they magnificently mimic the appearance, strength, protection and durability of real enamel.
Crooked teeth can appear straighter- unattractive colors can be hidden-chipped edges can be fixed-gaps can be filled-teeth can be reshaped, repaired, and restored-ALL with veneers. Once veneers are bonded to your teeth, they will provide years of service in improving your new smile.

How about "tooth-colored" fillings?

Tooth colored fillings are the answer. Special reinforced, tooth-colored acrylic can replace those ugly fillings, strengthen your teeth, and brighten your smile in just one visit. Now there's something to smile about!
