A beautiful smile is one of the most sought after cosmetic features in the world.

Whether through minor adjustments or major treatment plans, our cosmetic dentistry practice aims to improve your smile and help you build confidence in the way your teeth look.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the color of natural teeth, resulting in a brighter and more attractive smile. There are several methods of teeth whitening, including in-office treatments performed by dental professionals and at-home treatments using over-the-counter whitening products. In-office procedures often involve the application of a bleaching agent to the teeth, followed by the use of special lights or lasers to activate the whitening process. At-home options typically include the use of whitening toothpaste, whitening strips, or custom-fitted trays with a whitening gel. While teeth whitening can effectively remove surface stains and discoloration caused by factors such as aging, certain foods, and habits like smoking, it may not be suitable for everyone. It’s important to consult with a dentist to determine the best approach for achieving the desired results while considering any underlying dental conditions or sensitivities.
Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length. We recommend this treatment to anyone experiencing discoloration that cannot be fixed with whitening or if your teeth are damaged. Porcelain veneers are also an option if you’re unhappy with the shape or look of your natural teeth.

Crown and Bridges
Crowns and bridges are dental restorations used to repair and replace damaged or missing teeth. A dental crown, also known as a dental cap, is a protective covering that encases a tooth that has been severely decayed, cracked, or weakened. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance, while also providing protection against further damage. Crowns are custom-made to match the color and shape of the surrounding teeth, ensuring a natural-looking result. On the other hand, dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth, called pontics, which are anchored in place by crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges not only fill the gaps left by missing teeth, but they also restore proper biting and chewing function and help maintain the alignment of the surrounding teeth. Both crowns and bridges are durable, long-lasting solutions that can significantly enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of a person’s smile.
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves the application of tooth-colored resin material to repair or enhance the appearance of a tooth. The resin, made of a mixture of plastic and glass, is applied to the tooth in a malleable form and then shaped and sculpted to achieve the desired result. Composite bonding is commonly used to repair chipped, cracked, or decayed teeth, close gaps between teeth, alter the shape or size of teeth, and even cover stained or discolored teeth. The material is carefully matched to the color of the natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking result. The bonding process is relatively quick and minimally invasive, usually requiring only one visit to the dentist. With proper care, composite bonding can be long-lasting and contribute to a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
