Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.

Reasons for Teeth Whitening:

• Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development)

• Normal wear of the outer tooth layer

• Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.)

• Yellow, brown stained teeth

Porcelain Crowns (caps)

A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.

Reasons for Crowns:

• Broken or fractured teeth

• Cosmetic enhancement

• Decayed teeth

• Fractured fillings

• Large fillings

• Tooth has a root canal

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.

Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.

Reasons for Porcelain Veneers:

• Cosmetic: to create a uniform, white, beautiful smile

• Crooked teeth

• Misshapen teeth

• Severely discolored or stained teeth

• Teeth that are too small or large

• Unwanted or uneven spaces

• Worn or chipped teeth
