Cosmetic Dentistry  
 
Thanks to the recent advances in dental materials and techniques, you can attain the smile you've always wanted. The contour, color and alignment of your teeth can be changed by such cosmetic techniques as:  Bleaching lightens stains or discoloration. It can be performed on teeth that have undergone root canal treatment and on living teeth, as well. The treatment can be done in the dentist's office or at home using custom fabricated trays and bleaching material provided by the dentist. It is very important to only use at home bleaching products under the supervision of your dentist. 

Bonding restores chipped, cracked, discolored or misaligned teeth by rebuilding the surface with a composite material. 

Porcelain laminate veneers are custom fabricated tooth-shaped porcelain facings, that are bonded onto your tooth, to correct or camouflage discoloration, damage or misalignment 

 
Inlays and onlays are tooth-colored restorations that are used on the chewing surfaced of the back teeth. They can be placed instead of silver fillings or to replace existing silver fillings. 

Orthodontics can correct crowded misaligned teeth and other bite problems in children and adults 

The brightness of your smile may be adversely affected by certain foods and beverages that stain your teeth, such as: 
 

  • Tobacco Products 
    •
  • Curry

  • Coffee

  • Soy

    •
  • Red Wine

  • Cola Drinks
    •

    Most stains can be removed or reduced by professional cleaning. To keep a healthy, bright smile, daily care is a must. Regular brushing, flossing and visits to the dentist will minimize your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
