COSMETIC SERVICES

APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING...

Even if you take excellent care of your teeth by following the appropriate oral health regimen, if your teeth are crooked, have gaps between them or are discolored, the message you could be sending is that your smile isn't a priority.

There are a number of cosmetic dentistry options available today that can help you take your healthiest smile one step further and achieve your most beautiful smile! These services can dramatically improve your facial appearance in many ways, from reducing an overbite to filling unsightly gaps between teeth. They are also typically affordable, do not require surgery and can be performed in the comfort of your dentist's office.

SOME OF THE MORE POPULAR COSMETIC DENTISTRY OPTIONS INCLUDE:

  • Whitening: The primary goal of whitening is to achieve a brighter smile with a healthier overall appearance. Whitening is recommended for people who have a fully developed set of permanent teeth - typically 16 years of age and older - and is safe if not done too frequently. Professional whitening takes only a few hours with the lasting effects dependent on a number of factors, including patient age, the level of whitening desired and the initial depth of tooth discoloration.
  • Invisalign: These nearly invisible aligners (braces) are fully removable and highly effective in straightening front teeth. Patients typically wear their Invisalign aligners for 22 hours a day - every day - over a period of 9-15 month, depending on the level of correction desired.
  • Bonding: This is the process in which tooth-colored materials are adhered (bonded) to teeth in order to close spaces between teeth, lengthen or repair chipped or broken teeth, and even lighten teeth. Bonding is recommended as a simple solution for aesthetic tooth repair because the results are long lasting and typically achieved in just one office visit.
