Bleaching
As we grow older, teeth can become darker due to changes in tooth enamel. They also can be stained over time by food, coffee, tobacco, or medications. In-office bleaching is the most effective way to whiten teeth. In this simple procedure, a solution is applied to the teeth using thin plastic trays — in no time your teeth will be sparkling white! In-home bleach kits are also available.
Bonding
In dental bonding, a durable tooth-colored resin material is applied to the tooth and then hardened with a specialized light. This bonds the material to the tooth and helps protect the tooth and improve its appearance.
Porcelain Veneers
When a tooth’s surface is damaged, porcelain veneers are placed over the damaged area to improve the tooth’s aesthetics or to protect the tooth. Veneers are constructed in a dental laboratory, and later bonded to the tooth. Patients have been very pleased with how much their smile can be improved using this procedure.
Gum Reconstruction
Gum recession can be a result of disease, thin tissues, or vigorous brushing, and can lead to decay, tooth sensitivity and eventually tooth loss if left untreated. Gum reconstruction using grafting techniques is used to strengthen the gum and prevent further dental problems.
