Cosmetic Dentistry

In a study completed by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, researchers found that 9 out of 10 patients agree that an attractive smile is an important asset. They also found that 75% of Americans agree that an unattractive smile can hurt an applicant’s chance for career success. Having a smile you love can increase your confidence and boost your self-image. If you are unhappy with your smile, you may be surprised to know that modern cosmetic dentistry offers many solutions to common aesthetic problems. Our office provides the full spectrum of cosmetic dentistry to our patients. Whether you are seeking simple tooth whitening or to repair crooked or damaged teeth, we can help you to achieve a more attractive smile.

In the past, cavities could only be treated with unsightly metal fillings that are alloys for silver and mercury. These fillings, especially when close to the front of the mouth, 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. Modern dentistry has increasingly turned to Tooth colored or composite fillings as a strong, safe and more natural looking alternative. Composite fillings utilize a soft white plastic substance that is hardened with a blue light.

As we age, our teeth lose the brilliant whiteness that implies good dental health and youth. The unsightly stains associated with tobacco, dark liquids, and other factors can leave us feeling less-than-confident about our smiles. Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this dental problem: cosmetic tooth whitening. Our practice provides convenient, take-home tooth-whitening program to our patients.

Take-home Tooth Whitening

These kits contain a customized tray that is made from custom molds of your teeth and whitening gel made of hydrogen peroxide. The patient usually wears the trays and gel for approximately thirty minutes two times per day until their teeth have reached the desired shade.

If you ever had the notion that dental crowns are conspicuous and unattractive, then you've never noticed a beautifully crafted all-porcelain crown.

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.

Our office commonly replaces unsightly crowns with beautiful new porcelain crowns.

There are different kinds of Porcelain Crowns. Your Dentist will decide which is right for you depending on the color of your tooth.

Transform your smile with custom porcelain veneers designed to enhance the shape, color, and overall appearance of your teeth. Veneers are thin, durable shells that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth to create a brighter, more balanced smile.

Veneers are a popular cosmetic solution for correcting:

  • Discolored or stained teeth
  • Chipped or worn teeth
  • Small gaps between teeth
  • Uneven or misshapen teeth
  • Minor alignment concerns

Each veneer is carefully customized to match your facial features and desired smile goals while maintaining a natural appearance. Our team works closely with you to design a smile that looks beautiful, healthy, and confident.

With proper care and regular dental visits, porcelain veneers can provide long-lasting results and dramatically improve your smile in just a few appointments.

Straighten your smile with discreet, comfortable clear aligners designed to fit your lifestyle. At our office, we use SureSmile technology to create a personalized treatment plan that gradually moves your teeth into alignment using a series of custom-made, removable aligners.

SureSmile aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for teens and adults who want a more subtle alternative to traditional braces. Because the aligners are removable, you can continue enjoying your favorite foods and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine throughout treatment.

Benefits of SureSmile Clear Aligners
  • Virtually invisible appearance
  • Comfortable, custom-fit design
  • Removable for eating and oral hygiene
  • Fewer office visits than traditional braces
  • Digital treatment planning for precise results
What to Expect

Your treatment begins with a digital scan of your teeth—no messy impressions needed. Using advanced 3D technology, we map out your smile transformation and create a series of aligners tailored specifically to your needs. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks before progressing to the next stage.

Whether you’re correcting crowding, gaps, or bite alignment, SureSmile clear aligners offer a convenient and effective way to achieve a healthier, more confident smile.
