Implants

No longer are dentures or partial dentures your only options for missing teeth. Dental implants effectively replace your missing teeth and even help retain the bone structure in your jaw. Dental implants accurately replace your natural teeth and they never need to be replaced. A screw will be placed in your jaw to hold your missing tooth’s spot, and a crown will be attached to the end. Completely indistinguishable from your natural teeth, dental implants restore your smile’s beauty and functionality!

Lumineers

Lumineers are a type of dental veneer that work as perfect solutions for a variety of cosmetic dental problems. If you have discolored, chipped, gapped, or crooked teeth, Lumineers could be a great choice for you. An impression is made of your teeth and then sent to a lab. After your Lumineers return, they will be bonded to your teeth. They differ from regular veneers in that less drilling is needed. Talk with your dentist to discover if Lumineers could make your smile shine again!

Veneers

Porcelain or ceramic veneers are strong, thin, and mimic your tooth’s natural enamel. To restore your smile’s appearance, veneers go on top of your teeth, yet are made of porcelain and ceramic to remain strong and functional. Veneers are bonded to your teeth to give your smile the perfect color, brightness, and functionality that becomes you. You may choose to consider veneers if you have fractured, gapped, or poorly shaped teeth. Even stained teeth could benefit from veneers!

Bridges

Dental bridges can help if you have a missing tooth or teeth. Over time, the space left by your missing tooth will cause the other teeth to shift. This could result in an improper bite, loss of bone, and even crooked teeth. Bridges help to hold and cover the space between your missing teeth. They’re affixed to your natural teeth and will help to hold the space, improve your appearance, and match the color of your other natural teeth!

Whitening

Teeth whitening is an effective, affordable, and safe procedure that improves your appearance and gives you a dazzling smile. Whether you’d like white teeth for your wedding day or a special event in your life or even just to love your smile a little more every day, teeth whitening is a great option. Using at-home kits can create uneven whitening and even damage the enamel on your teeth if overused. A professional bleaching at your dentist’s office will give you a gorgeous smile for life.

Cosmetic dentistry offers you many options to restore your smile. Whether you have crooked or missing teeth, chipped or fractured teeth, or unsightly gaps or discoloration, cosmetic dentistry can help. Talk with your dentist to discover how cosmetic dentistry can improve your smile and quality of life!
