Veneers
Veneers are wafer-thin, durable shells made of porcelain or composite resin. We use local anesthesia and other methods, so your veneers procedure shouldn’t hurt a bit.
We custom-make veneers to cover a tooth’s front surface and improve its appearance. From fixing chips to closing gaps, they’re a popular cosmetic dentistry option for a straighter, healthier-looking smile.

Crowns
We use crowns to restore damaged teeth to their original shape and size. Crowns permanently affix right onto your teeth. When in place, they completely encase cracked, decayed or damaged parts of the teeth above the gumline.
We craft your unique crowns from porcelain, ceramic, resin, metal or gold. Each crown fits your tooth exactly and supports any surrounding teeth that no longer work well on their own. We alleviate any discomfort during the process with local anesthetics and more.
Our prosthetic crown restorations are one of our most popular procedures! Our doctors are meticulous and make sure you’re happy with the results.

Bridges
Bridges are fixed dental restorations that close gaps in your smile from missing teeth. They’re typically made from porcelain, and they blend aesthetically and seamlessly with your natural teeth.
We connect traditional bridges via crowns on the abutment teeth on either side of a gap. With local anesthesia and other options, you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure. You might opt for dental bridges for multiple reasons:
- Adjust your smile
- Restore your speech and pronunciation
- Better your ability to chew
- Readjust your bite
- Prevent your teeth from misaligning

Teeth Whitening
During a teeth whitening procedure, we treat your teeth with hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to break down stains and discoloration. It’s simple and painless, and your smile is instantly brighter.
You usually need to visit our office only once for this procedure. Still, please speak with our specialists before opting for teeth whitening. Some types of discoloration are difficult to lift, and veneers, crowns and fillings don’t whiten.

Gum Whitening and Gum Bleaching
We use state-of-the-art dental lasers to lighten darkened gum tissue during a gum lightening or bleaching procedure.
First, we apply an anesthetic or offer sedation so you feel no discomfort. Then, we use a dental laser to gently erase discolored or deeply pigmented patches. When we’re done, you have lighter, pinker and healthier gums.
If the gum tissue around your teeth is discolored or hyperpigmented, gum bleaching improves its natural color. Gum hyperpigmentation can result from many factors, from genetics to poor dental hygiene to regular coffee or tobacco use.
Gum whitening gives your gums a more uniform appearance and can supplement periodontal (gum) surgery.
