Whitening
Home teeth whitening involves making a custom fit mouth tray to hold a special whitening gel around each tooth. The preparation of the custom tray is done by us and we give you the whitening gel agent (several times stronger than the off the shelf brand).
With home teeth whitening, you can whiten your teeth up to 9 shades whiter. And the best thing is, you can do it all in the comfort of your own home. Our patients experience about the same results of a costly single visit teeth whitening procedure. This, however, only works if you follow the instructions correctly and use it accordingly.
Single Visit or Home Whitening
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are probably the most aesthetic means of creating a more pleasing and beautiful smile. They require a minimal amount of tooth reduction (approximately .5mm-1mm) and are, therefore, a more conservative restoration than a crown. Veneers allow us to alter tooth position, shape, size and color. They are not the only alternative for esthetic abnormalities, but are truly a remarkable dental restoration.

Fillings
Tooth Colored Fillings: There is now NEW colored tooth filling technology that allows a tooth to be filled with a strong chemically bonded material that can be matched to the color of our tooth making appear nearly invisible. Research has proven that a tooth with a natural colored filling is 90-95% as strong as a natural non-cavity healthy tooth, whereas a silver filling is only 40-45% as strong as a non-cavity tooth.
Benefits:
- beautiful in appearance
- completed in a single visit
- no filling leaks
- less chance of tooth cracking

Bonding
Dental Bonding is a method whereby a tooth colored material is bonded to your tooth to change the shape, color, or contour. Bonding can be used for small chips, or even covering spaces between teeth. Although bonding can be done in just 1 visit, and is less expensive than veneers, bonding has certain limitation which should be discussed with the Doctor before treatment.
Benefits:
- fast
- practical
- cost effective
- bonding is the perfect solution to correct minor cosmetic problems
