Cosmetic Dentistry

To restore a chipped or badly damaged tooth, we may recommend composite bonding. This procedure usually takes no more than an hour – we affix a tooth-colored resin to the damaged tooth, then use a tool to gently sculpt the hardened resin until it’s the perfect shape.

Veneers are thin layers of porcelain that are affixed to individual teeth to create a whiter, longer, or more even appearance. They are also effective in hiding gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers are custom-colored to match enamel, so patients who need only one tooth restored or whitened can count on the veneer blending in, for a natural looking smile.

Tooth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic dental procedures. It’s an ideal solution for patients who have healthy teeth and gums, and whose teeth have yellowed due to external factors, such as enamel erosion, or smoking. Teeth may also turn yellow when dentin – the soft tissue inside teeth – is damaged. That type of yellowing is much more difficult to correct with a simple whitening procedure. If dentin is damaged, porcelain veneers may be a better whitening solution.
