Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are artistically designed custom thin porcelain layers that are bonded on to teeth to create straight, healthy looking teeth without the use of orthodontics. It is usually a 2 visit procedure. During the first visit the dentist removes a small amount of the enamel & takes an impression, which is sent to our highly qualified technicians who design the Custom Veneers. It usually takes 7-10 days for the Veneers to be back. During this period the patient wears temporary Veneers that are custom crafted by the dentist. Call our office to find out if you are a candidate for this revolutionary procedure for enhancing your smile.

Colored Tooth Fillings
In the past, cavities could only be treated with unsightly metal fillings that are alloys with silver and mercury. These fillings are highly noticeable and unaesthetic. Sometimes, the filling is so large that it causes discoloration of the entire tooth. These fillings (or restorations) often weaken teeth due to the large amount of the original tooth that has to be removed. Also there is a risk of Mercury poisoning that is used in the filling. Composite fillings utilize a soft white plastic substance that is hardened with a blue light.

All-Porcelain Crowns
Crowns are much more esthetic than it used to be because they only porcelain. Compared to older porcelain fused to metal crowns, all-porcelain crowns have a natural appearance in terms of color and contour. When done properly, crowns should be extremely difficult to distinguish from natural teeth. With all-porcelain crowns, no dark lines are apparent at the gum line.
We offer better-looking esthetic crowns to replace old unaesthetic ones.
There are different kinds of Porcelain Crowns. Your Dentist will decide which is right for you depending on the color and function of your tooth.
