Cosmetic Dentistry
Report
A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of your face.
Even a subtle change can make a big difference in the way you look and feel.
New techniques like whitening, bonding, enamel shaping, veneers, and white fillings allow us to create a beautiful smile with, at times, only minimal changes to existing teeth.
Teeth Whitening is a very popular procedure in cosmetic dentistry.
It is a relatively easy and effective technique for obtaining a dazzling, whiter smile, at home, in a matter of days.
Bonding is a procedure where tooth-colored composite resin material is placed to "fill in the blanks."

Dental Implants
Report
Dental Implants have been used successfully for many years.
The implant itself is a post that is surgically placed in the jaw.
A prosthesis (artificial tooth or teeth) is then attached to the post.
Dental implants involve cooperation between a specialist and our office.
The surgical phase of treatment is completed by the specialist, and the restorative phase is completed at our office.
With the exception of your natural teeth, nothing looks more natural than an implant.
One important benefit of implants is that they slow the shrinking of bone and gum tissue from the area of the missing tooth, thus preventing premature aging.

Healthy Gums
Report
Healthy gums are the foundation for your teeth, much like the foundation for your house.
Healthy gums provide the support needed for your teeth to function as they should.
Having unhealthy gums is like having termites in the foundation of your house.
To the untrained eye everything seems fine, but progressive and often irreversible damage is being done.
Gum disease (Periodontitis) is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults.
It is known as a "silent" disease because it is rarely painful, especially in the early stages.
