Cosmetic Dentistry
The contour, color,
and alignments of your teeth can be changed by such cosmetic dentistry
techniques as bleaching,
bonding, porcelain laminate veneers, and inlays. Healthy teeth form
the foundation of an appealing smile; when the tooth is free of cavities
and stains it looks healthier and lasts longer. For your teeth to look
attractive, your six upper front teeth are the most important,
since these
teeth are the most visible when you smile. |

Bleaching
Bleaching is a conservative
treatment that to some extent removes or lightens stains or discolorations.
Tooth sensitivity from light to moderate is always expected.

Bonding
A white filling material
is bonded to the tooth surface, replacing or rebuilding chipped, cracked,
discolored, or misaligned teeth.
In the case
to the right, bonding is used to close the gap between the central incisors. |

Porcelain
Laminate Veneers
Are custom-made tooth-shaped
shells that are paper thin; they cover and conceal the front and side
surfaces of your tooth (much like an artificial fingernail). Porcelain
Laminate Veneers are durable and versatile. They can correct stains, breaks,
and odd shapes. |
