Veneers ∙ The porcelain laminate veneer is a very conservative procedure where first the teeth are prepared, and then a thin "shell" of porcelain is applied to the surface of the prepared teeth to enhance or correct their appearance. Porcelain veneers are very effective in closing spaces and changing the size, shape and color of teeth. Crowns ∙ Crowns or "caps" are used to restore teeth that have been fractured, have large cavities or that have had root canal therapy. Crowns cover the entire surface of the teeth to given maximum protection and strength. They are made of different materials, depending on the clinical circumstances, to look and feel like your own teeth.
	Tooth-Colored Fillings ∙ There are new dental products that allow us to replace old amalgam (sometimes called silver or mercury) fillings with high-strength resin and ceramic tooth-colored fillings. It is very important to have strength in the back teeth where most of your chewing occurs. Combining high-strength filling materials with the beauty of matching your natural tooth color gives you a beautiful smile throughout your entire mouth.
	Bonding ∙ Teeth that are chipped, broken or otherwise unattractive can be conservatively treated using bonded composite resins. We are able to enhance the appearance by laminating the bonding over the teeth to achieve optimal results with little or no discomfort.
	Whitening ∙ Our office uses the Zoom Whitening System to gently bleach your teeth to their brightest! This is one of the most gratifying procedures we can perform for you. It can be completed in just one hour appointment.
Bridges ∙ When teeth are missing, it is best to replace them as soon as possible. Fixed bridges (non-removable) are the preferred method of replacing missing teeth in certain circumstances. The teeth on both sides of the missing space are used to anchor the bridge and restore aesthetics and function. We can construct full porcelain bridges as well as porcelain over precious metal to give the best results in each particular case. Gingival Sculpting ∙ Uneven gums (gingiva) can make teeth look uneven, too large or too small, or of an unusual shape. We can change the shape of your gums to correct a "gummy smile' and give your gums the contour that will make them harmonious with the rest of your beautiful smile.
	Tooth Contouring ∙ Slightly misaligned teeth may be re-contoured to correct their appearance and shape. This is an ideal treatment when you are satisfied with the color of your teeth, but have concerns about small imperfections in shape.
	Root Canal Therapy ∙ Teeth are living, vital parts of our body. Sometimes, due to decay, injury, or other factors, teeth become non-vital. This may cause pain or infection if not treated promptly. The best method of treating non-vital teeth is called root canal therapy. We are highly skilled at accomplishing this treatment with minimal discomfort to you.
	Post and Core ∙ After teeth have been treated with root canal therapy, it is usually necessary to place a post into the root of the tooth for structural support. This allows us to use the tooth in a manner consistent with its original form and function.
Oral Surgery ∙ Our practice is centered on cosmetic dentistry. However, non-restorable teeth may present an impediment to achieving your treatment goals. In cases where it is necessary to remove a bad tooth, we are able to perform this service with skill and efficiency. Dentures ∙ Replacement of missing teeth is sometimes best accomplished with partial or complete dentures. We use the latest techniques and materials to ensure your complete comfort and satisfaction with denture procedures.
