at-Home Teeth Whitening

To brighten your smile in the comfort of your home, we offer take-home teeth whitening trays for professional results over the course of two weeks. At-home teeth whitening is achieved through fitted whitening trays and a powerful whitening agent. We’ll take digital impressions of your teeth to create a comfortable fit for your whitening tray, and supply the whitening agent along with detailed instructions for proper use and care. Wear the tray as advised and whiten your smile conveniently from home.

In-Office professional Teeth Whitening

A visit to your dentist is one of the best teeth whitening methods to brighten your smile up to 10 shades in a single day! We use dental grade whitening materials for instant results, making it an excellent choice for when you want a whiter smile for professional photos or a special occasion. Plus, you’ll have the expert care of our team to make sure your treatment is delivered safely without extra tooth or gum sensitivity afterwards.

During a professional teeth whitening, we’ll provide a protective gel on your gums to protect them before carefully applying a powerful whitening agent on your teeth. The whitening agent is activated by a UV light and left on the teeth for about an hour. This gives the agent time to penetrate past surface stains for a lasting, brighter smile. Even a single visit brings drastic results, and further treatments can be scheduled as necessary to achieve your desired results.

KöR Whitening

We’re proud to provide KöR whitening to our patients as a modern at-home whitening option. KöR has made a name for itself as one of the most effective and versatile teeth whitening treatments. The product is refrigerated from the moment it's made to preserve the whitening benefits and is designed to prevent tooth sensitivity before it even begins.

Treatment includes a custom-fitted dental tray that’s worn with their proprietary whitening gel. We offer both KöR-Day™ and KöR-Night™ solutions to fit your lifestyle. The trays can be worn overnight to whiten your teeth while you sleep, or worn during the day if preferred. Patients can expect dramatic results over the period of two weeks during their treatment.

For faster results, we also offer in-office KöR whitening for brighter smiles in a single appointment. When you want a bright smile right away, this is the best option to achieve whiter teeth in the shortest time possible.

Dental Bonding, Shaping & Contouring

With tooth-colored resin, dental bonding procedures can reshape teeth for seamless visual and functional benefits. Tooth bonding gives the dentist freedom to shape and contour the resin to match natural contours of the rest of the teeth for a natural appearance. Bonding and dental shaping is an amazing option to restore teeth that are misshapen, worn down through grinding or clenching, damaged from physical trauma, or severely discolored.

Dental bonding is a noninvasive procedure that can be completed in less than an hour per tooth for lasting cosmetic improvements. The treatment area is cleaned and prepared for bonding by roughening the outer surface. The resin is then carefully applied and sculpted into shape before it’s cured with a UV light. Final dental contouring adjustments are made, and you’re left with an amazingly natural and functional smile.

Veneers

Veneers are versatile tools to completely transform the appearance of damaged or irregular teeth. They’re a wafer-thin porcelain shell that’s placed on top of the existing tooth to restore misshapen, uneven, or discolored teeth.

To begin the veneer procedure, a thin layer of the outward enamel is removed to prepare it for the porcelain application. The veneer is then gently applied and contoured into a seamless appearance next to the rest of the teeth. Your dentist will ensure the color matches the shade of the rest of the teeth as well. Once the shape and fit are confirmed, the veneer is bonded into place with a strong dental adhesive. With proper care, veneers can last up to 20 years for a durable cosmetic treatment and confidence boost.

Complete Smile Makeovers

For a comprehensive transformation, we design customized treatment plans for complete smile makeovers. Smile makeovers, also known as smile design, combine several elements from cosmetic dentistry to help you achieve your ideal look. We’ll review your goals and curate a schedule of treatments, from teeth whitening to porcelain veneers and more, to make your dream smile a reality.

ICON Lesion Treatment

ICON resin treatment is a cosmetic procedure used to reduce the appearance of white spot lesions (WSLs). These are cosmetic defects that appear on the surface of teeth as white spots, and are most commonly the result of plaque buildup around brackets during orthodontic treatment. ICON resin treatment removes these spots through a reinforcing dental resin. The affected enamel is removed and replaced by the resin, encouraging remineralization of the calcified area and restoring the appearance of teeth. With ICON lesion treatment, you can enjoy the benefits of straighter teeth without pesky WSLs.

Answers to Common Questions about Cosmetic Dentistry

What issues can cosmetic dentistry fix?

Cosmetic services are versatile enough to solve nearly any aesthetic problem a patient may have. Whether the issue is from tooth decay, physical trauma, or genetics, we’ll discuss your treatment options to find a solution for you. The most common issues cosmetic dentistry serves are teeth that are discolored, chipped or broken, misshapen, unevenly spaced.

Who are the best candidates for cosmetic dentistry?

Downward Arrow Icon

Anybody who has the desire to improve their smile can benefit from cosmetic dentistry treatments. Before focusing on appearance, it’s important to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy to prevent further treatment regressing the cosmetic benefits. We’ll begin each cosmetic consultation with a comprehensive oral examination to make sure your oral health is in shape before progressing with aesthetic treatments.

Will my insurance cover cosmetic dentistry services?

Downward Arrow Icon

Purely cosmetic services are not generally covered by dental insurance plans. In some cases, cosmetic services will serve a restorative purpose and are more likely to receive partial coverage from some insurance providers. You can contact your insurance provider directly for more information on your benefits, or reach out to us for assistance. We’ll be glad to discuss financing options to assist you towards achieving your dream smile.

How long does a complete smile makeover take?

Downward Arrow Icon

Since smile makeover treatment plans are completely personalized, completion time varies between patient to patient. Teeth whitening and bonding can be completed in as little as a month, but more extensive plans could take the better part of a year to finish. During an initial consultation, we’ll be able to review your needs and end goal to provide an estimate for your complete smile makeover.
