Procedures
Whitening
This simple yet effective and affordable procedure uses carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide to lighten dark or stained teeth. Teeth can be whitened by professionally supervised at-home treatments or through an accelerated process in the dentist's office.
Veneers
A thin layer of porcelain can be applied to the front of a tooth to dramatically improve its position, size, color, and shape. Created in a dental laboratory, these restorations can provide you with a permanent aesthetic solution in just two clinical procedures.
Bonding
Chipped, stained, or worn teeth are repaired by the application of a composite resin bonding material directly onto each tooth's surface. This low-expense procedure allows the dentist to restore or enhance your smile in a single visit.
Crowns
Crowns are similar to veneers, except that they are placed over the entire tooth. These restorations are used to correct severe decay or misalignment as well as teeth that have undergone root canal therapy. Crowns are fabricated in a laboratory to provide a stable bite and enhanced aesthetics.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are used to replace silver fillings. They are usually made from composite resin material, porcelain, or gold. Once placed, they are virtually undetectable in the mouth, and conserve much of your natural tooth structure.
Bridges
These restorations, generally made of porcelain or gold, are used to replace missing teeth. Bridges are placed on the neighboring teeth, so they span the site of the missing tooth, making them a fabulous method by which to restore your bite and create a pleasant smile
Sealants
Sealants are a safe, painless, and low-cost way to help protect your child's back teeth from decay. A thin plastic coating (sealant) is bonded to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars. The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into tiny grooves in the teeth and causing decay.
Routine Fillings
Teeth that have small areas of decay, small breaks or fractures or are worn down might require a "filling." After the compromised or diseased area is removed a filling is needed to restore your tooth's form and shape. Fillings can either be silver or tooth colored.
