Progressive Makeovers
Supervised teeth whitening and cosmetic bonding are popular and affordable first steps toward a smile makeover that can dramatically improve your smile.
Teeth whitening is a new invention
FALSE: Supervised teeth whitening which removes stains is completely safe, reliable, quick, and convenient because the procedure has been refined for more than 100 years. Bonding, which can also give you whiter teeth by covering stains, was invented in the 1950s.
Teeth whitening and bonding are minimally invasive and require no anesthetic
TRUE: Not only that - but your teeth can be brightened in our office or over several weeks at home. You decide!
Age is a factor
FALSE: For patients under twenty, whitening is the most demanded cosmetic procedure. After childhood, age is not an issue, and most people can benefit because there is no upper age limit. Even children can benefit from tooth-colored bonding materials for fillings.
Teeth can be whitened up to eight shades
TRUE: Whiteness depends on the intensity of staining. Our team can help you select the best option for your smile.
Bonding materials can be used to replace older, compromised amalgam fillings
TRUE: Especially in your front teeth where appearance is important. Porcelain inlays and onlays are excellent options for back teeth.
Cosmetic Countouring
Too short ... too much ... TWO methods
Are you self-conscious because your teeth look too short or too long ... because too much of your gums show...
because your teeth look different lengths?
Now dentistry can cosmetically contour your smile! If your gumline is uneven or if your teeth look too small, short, or square, we can restore symmetry and proportion by sculpting your gumline with a gum lift or crown lengthening. Both reveal the natural enamel hidden by excessive gum tissue.
If your teeth look too long, it could be that ageing or periodontal disease has caused your gumline to recede. The proportion of gums that appear "too short" can be restored by applying the same porcelain veneers that we use to hide other smile flaws.
