COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Cosmetic Dentistry refers to services that address the patients "aesthetics" or "appearance". This can involve several procedures or be a combination of many procedures or just one. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, mouth and smile.

Teeth that are stained, crooked, uneven or broken down can really affect a person's self esteem. Many people are embarrassed about their teeth and do not like to smile. This can greatly affect a person's quality of life and prevent them from fulfilling their personal and professional goals. Your smile is the key to personal and professional success!

Affordable and convenient procedures now offer you an easy and permanent way to a beautiful smile!

VENEERS: Are very thin coverings that are custom made from porcelain to fit precisely over your existing teeth. They can make uneven teeth even, fill in gaps between teeth and make broken teeth appear whole again. Even though veneers are very thin, they are extremely strong and durable and generally will not need to be replaced for 5-10 yrs. And best of all…very little tooth structure needs to be removed.

We have used DaVinci Labs for over 25 years for all our cosmetic cases.

For over three decades, da Vinci has been the pioneer and leader in cosmetic porcelain veneers. In fact, da Vinci was the first dental lab to introduce cosmetic porcelain veneers to Hollywood. Recently, you may have seen da Vinci Veneers showcased on television shows such as ABC's "Extreme Makeover" and FOX's "The Swan".

Unlike cheap imitators, da Vinci Veneers are crafted from the highest quality materials and hand-crafted by the finest artisans in the industry. No other porcelain veneer on the market can match da Vinci's superior quality and esthetic value. da Vinci Veneers are only available through da Vinci certified dentists, who represent the top 2% of all dentists in the U.S. These dentists are screened then trained to da Vinci's high standards, and represent excellence in cosmetic dentistry.

Best of all, da Vinci Veneers come with a lifetime product guarantee, ensuring that your beautiful smile will last forever.

WHITENING: If your teeth are stained or discolored and you are happy with the structure of your teeth and smile, simple whitening procedures may be all you need. We offer two different kinds of whitening. At-home whitening and in-office whitening. Good candidates for whitening are patients who have regular professional dental cleanings and whose teeth are free from fillings and crowns on the front teeth. Existing porcelain crowns and tooth colored fillings will not whiten, so it's best to whiten before you have any work done.

At-Home Whitening: Custom fitted trays are fabricated that fit over your teeth. A whitening gel is then placed in the trays and fitted onto your teeth before bed. You can also wear the trays during the day. You will notice a big change the first night! The benefit of At-Home Whitening is that you can control the level of whitening you achieve. Some people do not like the ultra-bright look of fully whitened teeth and therefore stop the whitening before the 2 week length of whitening we prescribe. Additionally, you keep your trays and gel (which will last 2 years) and can whiten again if you have a special occasion without making another appointment.

Britesmile: In-Office 1 hour whitening

Sit back and relax for an hour while we oversee the safe and gentle tooth-whitening system.

Here's how BriteSmile Works:

BriteSmile whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth
The gel is then activated by BriteSmile's patented gentle blue light for 20 minutes while you relax and watch TV.
This process is repeated twice before you go home with a naturally brilliant new smile!

COSMETIC BONDING: Is an excellent, affordable alternative to veneers. Completed in one visit, we can reshape chipped, broken down and malaligned teeth with bonding material. Similar to the material used in white fillings, this material is easy to work with and allows for the patient to be an intregal part of the procedure. As we begin recreating your smile you have the ability to direct us as to what shape or shade that you prefer. Once you and Dr. are happy with the bonding, a blue light will be shined onto the bonding material to harden it.

It is also an excellent option for people who have spaces between their teeth but do not wish to have Orthodontic care.
