Our newest and most exciting whitening system is ZOOM! in office whitening. Patients love to have white, bright teeth that just make them feel great and positive about their appearance. Everyone, from a public speaker to a bride-to-be, will radiate good health, confidence, self esteem and will reflect their desire to look the best they possibly can be. ZOOM! in office whitening achieves 8+ shades whiter teeth on average. A whitening gel is applied to your teeth and a light will be positioned over your teeth to activate the gel. So whether you have coffee, tea, tobacco or even tetracycline stains on your teeth, you can change the color of your teeth to dazzling white in about one to two hours. This is accomplished while sitting in the dentist chair, listening to music or taking a nap! The convenience of ZOOM! at home whitening is also available. Trays created especially to match your teeth fit tighter and brighten better than drug store whitening kits. In one to three weeks you can have the dazzling smile of your dreams. All in the comfort of your home. ZOOM! Frequently Asked Questions.

Bonding
People who work at keeping their teeth, want them to look good too. Bonding is another technique for taking your smile from ho-hum to dazzling. Bonding can repair chips or cracks, fill in gaps between teeth, lengthen teeth and even cover discolored teeth. The bonding material is attached to the tooth surface in thin layers, and then exposed to a special light, which hardens the material in seconds. Once the material is hard, the tooth can be shaped and polished for a natural look and feel. Bonding material comes in many shades including a bright white smile shade.

Porcelain Veneers
What a difference porcelain veneers can make to any smile! Chipped, stained, discolored, unevenly spaced, and slightly crooked front teeth can be restored to a more natural, pleasing smile with the simple application of porcelain veneers. These thin shell-like coverings are bonded to the teeth to create a more attractive color, shape or size. Imagine how your smile could change with porcelain veneers! A professional dental laboratory will produce the custom fit veneers. Protect your investment with daily brushing and flossing and regular dental visits.

Porcelain Onlays, Crowns and Bridges
Cracked, broken, decayed, or worn teeth can be "capped" with porcelain onlays or crowns, restoring a natural, healthy looking tooth. All porcelain onlays and most porcelain crowns do not have any metal in them, eliminating that "gray" color and looking more natural. With the strength of newer dental bonding cements, the amount of tooth structure removed after eliminating any decayed or broken area to accommodate porcelain onlays, and crowns, is often more conservative than crowns with metal in them. In addition, back teeth with old, obsolete silver-mercury filling or new decay, can now be made stronger and completely natural in appearance. This improvement can be achieved by the more conservative means of bonding an enamel-like material or a stronger, longer lasting porcelain restoration to the tooth. If you are missing a tooth that can't be replaced with a dental implant, a bridge can be created to span the gap where the tooth is missing. The tooth on either side of the space is prepared in the same way as though you were getting a crown and those two crowns are joined by a bridge. Bridges are usually considered for the back teeth.

Dental Implants
Are you missing a tooth due to extraction, an accident or bone loss? The space can be replaced with a dental implant. Dental implants are metal titanium posts that are surgically placed into the bone. The bone grows around the implant attaching it to the outer surface. A crown can then be fitted to the top of the posts. In this way, they are firmly supported and feel just like your own natural teeth. The benefits are numerous and include, better health through renewed eating habits, regaining full function without damaging your remaining teeth, protect your jawbone from shrinkage and best of all...recover your natural smile and all that goes with it!
