Porcelain Veneers
Of all the methods available today for changing and improving the look of your smile, veneers are among the most popular and successful with our patients. Veneers can straighten, lengthen, and whiten teeth to provide you with a perfect smile.
Veneers are a thin, strong, layer of porcelain custom made for each individual person based on your desires and chosen smile design. The fabricated laminates are bonded to a prepared tooth. The preparation process involves removing a small amount of tooth structure to make room for the veneers. The dental lab then fabricates the veneers from impressions taken at the prep appointment. After final placement, the veneers look and feel like natural teeth. Some advantages of porcelain veneers over bonding include increased longevity, and resistance to staining. Veneers can create the smile you have always dreamed about.
Complete Smile Design
Smile Design is a conservative, non-aggressive way to rejuvenate your smile. The term Smile Design applies to the enhancement of a smile using a combination of methods. A client's eyes, lip line, coloring, gum tissue contouring, and face, are all considered when a new smile is designed for you.
Veneers work well for tooth reshaping and resizing. They are an attractive way to improve your smile because they achieve a very natural look with a very conservative tooth preparation (shaping). Very little natural tooth structure is removed when veneers are bonded into place and the virgin strength of the tooth is recaptured as well. We have found that this is the treatment of choice for smile enhancement if more than whitening is needed.
A Smile Design is truly a work of art. Our goal is to redesign your smile so that it fits you, is beautiful, strong, and natural looking.

Our quality of life is greatly affected by our oral health. The older we get, the more important it becomes.
Implants
Implants completely simulate a natural tooth. Implants involve a surgical procedure that replaces missing teeth. A titanium cylinder, secured in the bone, functions as the root of your tooth. Then, a crown attached to the titanium cylinder gives the appearance of a natural tooth.
Implants are often the first choice when replacing missing back teeth. For strength and natural appearance, a lifelike crown placed on an implant is the closest thing to your natural tooth.
Bridges
A Bridge is a custom device anchored to neighboring teeth that replaces one or more missing teeth. When a lost tooth is replaced with bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing one are prepared as crowns to serve as abutments to hold the prosthetic (replacement) tooth in place. Crowns and bridges are most commonly prepared from high quality materials such as semiprecious or precious metals, porcelain, or a fused combination of the two.
Crowns
Many restorations are fabricated using a metal lining covered with porcelain. These type restorations are not natural in appearance because they are opaque or flat looking because they do not let light pass through as a natural tooth does. There is often a dark or gray line next to the gum-line. We provide exclusively all porcelain-bonded restorations. With our restorations you will notice the appearance of natural teeth again.
