Porcelain veneers are one of the modern go-to options for enhancing a patient’s smile. This is because they require very little reshaping of the teeth, they bond to the teeth extremely well, and they look great! Porcelain veneers are a great choice in situations where the teeth are already mostly straight, have had little to no treatment for dental decay, and the patient desires their teeth to be a different shape and/or color. When the right criteria are present, we can achieve amazing results by enhancing your smile with porcelain veneers!

One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry services you’ll see advertised on a daily basis is teeth whitening.  In fact, nowadays it’s nearly impossible to watch TV, walk through the grocery store, or drive down the highway without coming across some ad for teeth whitening.

Patients will often ask us if we offer teeth whitening at our office, and the answer is a resounding yes!  While there are many ways available to whiten your teeth, including special toothpastes, over the counter whitening strips, and in-office whitening, we’ve found the most effective and most comfortable way to have your teeth professionally whitened is the home whitening method.

We will make custom trays for your mouth and provide whitening solution.  You can then whiten at home, on your own schedule, and at a frequency that works best for you!

While porcelain veneers are often a go-to cosmetic dentistry service for changing the shape and color of the front teeth, sometimes due to extensive decay or fractured tooth structure, veneers may not be the best choice for long-term success.  The solution in this case is to restore the teeth with ceramic crowns!

A crown, often referred to as a “cap”, is basically a shell that covers what remains of a natural tooth to restore shape, color, and function.  Crowns require more reshaping of natural tooth structure than veneers, but with a combination of the different available high-end dental porcelains and ceramics, the final results are just as exciting!
