Bonding

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material is applied to teeth and hardened with a special light, which ultimately "bonds" the material to the tooth to improve a person's smile.

Dental bonding is an option that can be considered:

  • To repair decayed teeth
  • To repair chipped or cracked teeth
  • To improve the appearance of discolored teeth
  • To close spaces between teeth
  • To make teeth look longer
  • To change the shape of teeth
  • As a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings

Bonding is among the easiest and least expensive of cosmetic dental procedures. It can usually be done in one office visit unless several teeth are involved.

Inlays & Onlays

Inlays and onlays are dental restorations used when a tooth has mild to moderate decay, or when there is not enough tooth structure to support a filling but the tooth is not damaged enough to need a crown.

An inlay is similar to a filling, but it lies within the cusps (bumps) on the chewing surface of your tooth. An onlay is more extensive than an inlay and covers one or more cusps.

Benefits of inlays and onlays include:

  • Superior fit for tooth integrity
  • Tooth color matching for natural appearance
  • Easy to clean
  • Durable and long-lasting
  • Strengthen teeth by up to 75%

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are bonded to the teeth, changing their color, shape, size, or length, and creating an improved appearance.

Veneers are routinely used to fix:

  • Teeth that are discolored
  • Teeth that are worn down
  • Teeth that are chipped or broken
  • Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped
  • Teeth with gaps between them

Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth's color and shape.

SureSmile® Clear Aligners

SureSmile clear aligners are a modern alternative to traditional braces. These virtually invisible aligners are custom-made to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.

Advantages of SureSmile clear aligners:

  • Nearly invisible appearance
  • Removable for eating and cleaning
  • Comfortable fit with no metal brackets or wires
  • Fewer office visits
  • Digital treatment planning for predictable results

SureSmile aligners are an excellent option for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. Schedule a consultation to see if SureSmile is right for you.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure. It's a simple, non-invasive treatment that can dramatically brighten and whiten discolored teeth.

Over time, teeth can become discolored from:

  • Food and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine)
  • Tobacco use
  • Age
  • Medications
  • Trauma

We offer both in-office whitening treatments and take-home whitening kits. Professional whitening is safer and more effective than over-the-counter products, and the results can be dramatic.

A brighter, whiter smile can boost your confidence and make you look younger. Contact us today to learn more about our teeth whitening options.
