Cosmetic Dentistry

More and more people are becoming familiar with and curious about cosmetic dentistry. With advances in the field, cosmetic dentistry is no longer the province of models, actors, the very wealthy, and those willing to commit the considerable time, resources and discomfort that were once required.

Today anyone can significantly improve the attractiveness of his or her smile, easily and with little or no discomfort.

Here are some of the options cosmetic dentistry, combined with today's technology, can now offer:

Whitening your teeth - One office visit - in one 90-minute appointment your teeth can be up to 8 shades lighter. It is a subtle way of improving your smile and removing years of staining.

Porcelain veneers - An alternative to waiting two years with orthodontia. Fill in gaps, remedy crowding and change the color and shape of your teeth.

Dental implants - Replace missing teeth, smile with confidence without the dark spaces where teeth were once missing.

Porcelain inlays and onlays - Make your smile attractive both inside and out by replacing old, silver amalgam fillings that have gone dark with age with natural tooth colored inlay or onlays.

We offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry options. At our office procedures can be performed for your specific needs easily and efficiently.
