Your smile is an incredibly important physical asset and if your teeth are dull, discolored, stained, chipped, cracked, uneven, or damaged in any way, it can have a terrible impact on your self-esteem. In addition to our dedication to keeping your oral health in excellent lifelong condition, our team of highly trained and experienced cosmetic dentistry professionals are passionate about helping you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
Cosmetic dentistry is an area of dental practice focused on enhancing the beauty of your smile, in addition to strengthening, protecting, or replacing teeth. Truly great cosmetic dentistry requires an artistic approach and an understanding of how various treatments align with a patient’s bone structure and the curve of their smile.
Just as no two smiles are ever exactly alike, cosmetic dentistry is never a one-size-fits-all process. Your treatment plan is designed to address your specific needs and can be adjusted as you move through the process.
Cosmetic dental treatments help to strengthen, protect, or replace teeth, in addition to creating aesthetic improvements.
Daily consumption of foods and drinks, rich in chemicals and tannins like coffee, tea, and red wine, gradually stains and discolors our teeth. Over time, these stains can become permanent, resistant to regular brushing and flossing.
Professional teeth whitening treatments offer a solution to restore the natural brightness of your smile, effectively removing stubborn discoloration caused by dietary habits. Opting for teeth whitening can erase these dietary stains, restoring the confidence that comes with a bright, stain-free smile.
Teeth whitening is a very simple, straightforward, and painless treatment that will improve the appearance of your smile. Even a little tooth discoloration can have a remarkable effect on smile quality and therefore, your self-esteem. If you’re interested in putting the glint back into your grin, speak to one of our friendly team members the next time you come in for a routine check-up.
Our custom trays are designed specifically for your teeth. After taking impressions, we create a tray in our lab that fits your smile perfectly. You'll return for a fit check and detailed usage instructions before starting your at-home treatment. With regular use of the custom trays and professional-grade whitening gel, you'll see gradual improvements in the brightness of your teeth. Once you've achieved your desired results, occasional maintenance treatments can help keep your smile looking its best.
For a convenient and effective alternative, we also offer pre-made whitening trays. These trays come ready-to-use with professional-strength whitening gel, providing a simple solution for patients who want a quick start to their whitening journey. While they may not fit as precisely as custom trays, pre-made trays still deliver noticeable results and are a great option for those seeking an affordable, professional-grade whitening solution.
Our team will help you determine which whitening option is best for your needs during your consultation. Both options provide better results than over-the-counter products due to the higher concentration of whitening agents available exclusively through dental professionals.
Porcelain veneers are thin “shells” of high-quality porcelain that fit directly over the surface of your natural teeth. Veneers are a very versatile treatment that can correct numerous issues at once.
When you admire the seemingly perfect smile of a public figure or celebrity, it’s often a great set of veneers you notice. Advancements in dental technology have made porcelain veneers available to many people.
Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment because they can improve numerous aesthetic issues simultaneously. Some of the cosmetic flaws that veneers conceal include:
Compared with the cost of having multiple dental treatments, a new set of veneers provides an outstanding return on your investment.
Once you and your dentist decide to move forward with a new set of custom dental veneers, advanced imaging gathers information on the precise shape, size, and alignment of your natural teeth.
On the day of your procedure, an injection of numbing medication ensures you’ll be comfortable from start to finish. Next, your dentist removes a portion of your natural tooth to make room for the veneers. Next, a set of impressions are made to guide the fabrication process. Finally, temporary veneers are secured in place to protect your teeth until the permanent veneers arrive.
At that point, you’ll return to have your new veneers checked for appearance and fit before being cemented into place. This completes the dental veneer process, and you’ll begin to enjoy your new smile immediately.
You can expect 10-15 years of wear from your new dental veneers. Eventually, veneers will need to be replaced in a process similar to that outlined above.
