Teeth Whitening

A common and non-invasive treatment is teeth whitening. Just like our skin, teeth are porous and capable of absorbing many of the substances they come into contact with, leaving unsightly stains and discoloration.
Teeth whitening can be performed in the office or with take-home trays custom molded for your dental structure. In both cases, a whitening gel is used. This gel seeps into the enamel, breaking down the chemical bonds of the stains and gently extruding them, leaving your teeth more radiant and your smile more confident.

Veneers

For chipped, cracked, and discolored teeth, veneers are another non-invasive method for achieving your desired dental aesthetic.

Veneers are thin ceramic shells that are made to match the color and contour of the surrounding dental structure, then placed on the desired tooth with dental cement. On top of covering minor damage and stains, veneers are also used for altering the appearance of teeth, such as those that are too small and slightly misaligned.

While veneers can be made for any tooth, they are often only applied to the most visible teeth, known as the Social Six.

Invisalign® Clear Braces

For patients with mild or moderate malocclusion, traditional metal braces may not be the most effective treatment. For cases such as these, Invisalign may be the most desirable course of action.

Invisalign clear aligners are custom-molded trays that fit comfortably over your teeth to slowly move your dentition back into proper alignment. Trays are changed out every two weeks to ensure that the trays match the changing shape of your dental structure.

One of the most attractive features for patients is that Invisalign trays do not restrict their diet. The trays can be easily removed for meals and routine cleaning.
