What cosmetic services are available and how can they help me?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that can closely mimic the optical properties of natural teeth. They can close unsightly spaces, drastically improve discoloration, and correct tooth size or shape discrepancies.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a time-tested and reliable way to replace missing teeth. After a 3-D scan is conducted and you are determined to be a suitable candidate, the implant is placed. The bone will heal for four (4) months prior to a final crown being placed on the implant.
Porcelain Crowns & Bridges
Porcelain crowns from a quality laboratory can appear like natural teeth and protect weakened teeth by fully encompassing them. Porcelain bridges help to replace missing teeth by "bridging" the gap.
Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to rapidly achieve the bright smile you've always wanted. Inquire within to find out if you are a good candidate for whitening!
Rejuvenate your self-confidence and facial features with a beautiful and attractive smile!
Complimentary smile evaluations and consultations available.

This patient had resin bonding done multiple times in the past on her front teeth and was unhappy with the discolored and unfinished appearance. Natural and minimally invasive porcelain veneers successfully addressed the issue and she was extremely happy with her new smile!
Do you have spaces between your teeth that affect your ability to smile? This patient was self-conscious for as long as he could remember. Since he declined braces/Invisalign, we closed the spaces and improved the color with porcelain veneers. He loves his naturally bright new teeth and is no longer hesitant to smile!
Three of this patient's front teeth started to become discolored over time. He tried whitening/bleaching multiple times, but did not achieve the results he was seeking. To address this problem, we placed four lifelike porcelain veneers to blend with his smile. He loves the result and could not believe how high-quality veneers can appear so natural!
After having sports-related accidents combined with tooth grinding, this patient felt his teeth had become short. In order to improve esthetics and bite function, we treated his teeth with porcelain veneers to add length and brighten the color. We worked together to design and deliver the smile he wanted!
This young patient simply wanted a brighter smile. After one session of in-office whitening, she was ecstatic with the noticeable difference!
Ever since having two crowns done on her front teeth, this patient was self-conscious of her smile. In particular, she did not like the unnatural shapes, colors, and surrounding dark lines. To address these concerns, we decided on upper and lower crowns and veneers. After upgrading her smile, she was much more confident and happy.
SOS! This patient broke her front tooth and was desperate for a solution. She also wanted a more vibrant smile to match her personality. After an implant was placed, we made a temporary bridge along with veneers on the adjacent teeth. She loved the new look and could smile freely again!
Many people are born with spaces between their teeth and will have braces or Invisalign to close them. This patient was always hesitant to smile due to the noticeable space between her front teeth. She was having her 21st birthday party in a few weeks and hoped to have it fixed before then. We closed the space with resin bonding, no teeth were drilled and she was happy to no longer have a space!
This patient's main goal was safely removing her large mercury (amalgam) fillings for cosmetic reasons. In order to meet her goals while protecting the teeth long-term, we placed porcelain onlays (partial crowns) and composite resin fillings. She was so appreciate of the dramatic improvement.
Life has a tendency to challenge people at the most inopportune times. This patient's upper front cap came off and he was not able to smile in public. In several visits, we were able to deliver a brand new set of crowns and veneers. He was able to smile confidently and commented how natural they appeared!
This patient disliked the dark stain on her front crown and wanted a brighter overall smile. We completed upper bridges and veneers and in the end, the patient was very happy with the drastic improvement!

After addressing some back teeth in need of urgent treatment, this patient expressed a desire to improve his smile. In the end, we exceeded his expectations by closing the spaces, improving alignment and brightening the color with porcelain crowns and veneers.
After having a front crown done over 30 years ago and living with the space, this patient decided it was time to improve her smile. We replaced the crown, evened out gum levels and added porcelain veneers on the surrounding teeth to achieve a brighter smile!

Initially, this patient wanted to fix his dark front tooth. However, after discussing the overall damage due to a harmful bite, we performed a full mouth reconstruction with porcelain crowns and veneers to rebuild what was lost. In the end, we built a stronger and more ideal bite with much improved esthetics!
In order to improve color, bite function, and fix chipped edges, we decided on conservative upper and lower porcelain veneers. In the end, this patient was thrilled with his naturally brighter, new smile!
