is to improve the appearance of your teeth and gums. It is widely accepted by our dentists that this form of dentistry is both an art and a science. We use our expertise to listen to your concerns, design your ideal smile, and transform your look. Whether you1. Teeth Whitening
Do you want your teeth to be a few shades brighter to fix stubborn stains? Professional teeth whitening can accomplish just that with an in-office and at-home option. Before getting started, one of our cosmetic dentists will conduct a brief consultation with you to determine which option works best for your smile.
The in-office teeth whitening method is completed in one appointment and provides immediate results. On the other hand, the at-home treatment is more gradual but does give you increased control over how bright you want your teeth. We can of course supply you with custom teeth whitening trays and gel should you choose the at-home option.
Regardless of which option you decide to go with, discoloration from years of drinking coffee, wine, and tea will be a thing of the past. Goodbye stains, hello pearly whites!
2. Invisalign®
If you are insecure about crooked teeth and want to straighten them without metal wires or brackets, Invisalign may be for you. Invisalign consists of multiple stages of clear aligners that gradually move your teeth little by little. They work in a similar manner as traditional braces but are nearly invisible and removable. Choosing Invisalign treatment allows patients to avoid an unrestricted diet, brush and floss normally, and see results in as little as 12 months.
3. Porcelain Veneers
For severe discoloration, chips, gaps between teeth, and more, our cosmetic dentists will recommend porcelain veneers. are thin, custom-made “shells” that fit over the front of teeth for a seamless smile. Because some natural tooth enamel does need to be removed for the permanent placement of veneers, you should be sure of your decision to pursue them as enamel won’t return after it is lost. If you feel embarrassed by your teeth and want a long-term solution, veneers may be right for you.
4. Gum Contouring
No, this isn’t the same as makeup contouring for defined cheekbones. Laser gum contouring as a dental procedure involves altering the shape of a patient’s gums and overall appearance of their gum line. During a single appointment, our dentists will use a special laser to remove excess gum tissue and reshape the area around your teeth until you’re satisfied. The gum reshaping process can take 1-2 hours but this is dependent on the patient. You shouldn’t feel any discomfort, however, as we will numb the area beforehand.
5. Dental Bonding
Using composite resin (tooth-colored putty), dental bonding can repair chipped, cracked, misshapen, gapped, and discolored teeth in a single appointment. Bonding can even be used as an alternative to orthodontic treatment assuming there are no significant issues with teeth or jaw alignment.
Our dentists will start by using a shade guide to determine which color of resin will match your natural enamel best. The surface of your tooth will then be etched, and a light layer of conditioning liquid will be applied to create a strong bond for the resin. We’ll then mold and shape the composite resin onto the tooth and harden it with an LED light.
