Cosmetic Dentistry

While your health is our priority, we also understand the benefits of a beautiful, confident smile.

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, modern cosmetic dentistry offers the solution you need. When you discuss your aesthetic goals with your cosmetic dentist, we can design a comprehensive treatment plan just for you!

Teeth Whitening

Whitening your teeth is one of the most straightforward and cost-effective smile improvements. Drugstore whitening kits may be cheap and easy to find, but nothing beats a professional teeth whitening service supervised by your cosmetic dentist.

Porcelain Veneers

When you see a movie star with perfect teeth, there's a good chance that porcelain veneers were used to craft that smile!

A veneer is a super-thin shell of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front surface of your tooth. We commonly use veneers to correct cosmetic problems by improving a tooth's color, shape, length, or size. You can get one veneer or multiple, depending on your aesthetic goals.

Cosmetic Fillings

If you need a filling, we can use one of two popular materials: silver amalgam or tooth-colored composite resin. Both have proven to be safe and effective.

The difference is the cosmetic result.

Amalgam is a traditional metal filling that creates a visible silver or gray spot against the white of your tooth; composite resin fillings, on the other hand, match your natural tooth shade for a seamless, invisible repair.

Another use for composite resin is dental bonding. Our cosmetic dentist applies the material while it's in a putty-like state and shapes it to perfectly match the shape and contours of your tooth. After the material is hardened, we polish it for a flawless appearance.

Intraoral Camera

What if you could see exactly what your dentist sees? You'd probably find it simpler to make informed decisions about your oral health! 

Intraoral cameras allow you to do precisely that. Using a small digital camera embedded in a wand, the dentist can move it around your mouth and transmit the images instantly to a chairside monitor. This allows you to clearly see everything the dentist describes, including damage to the teeth and signs that might indicate periodontal disease.
