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 above case 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.
