Once you and your dentist decide which tooth whitening option is right for you, the process is very simple. For fast results, we recommend using the Zoom! Whitening System.  In a little over an hour you can see up to a 12 shade whitening difference in your smile. A specially designed light triggers the whitening gel and excels the whitening process for a faster, brighter, whiter smile. Also available is the traditional whitening process involving trays and whitening gel.  The whitening gel is placed in an inconspicuous, clear tray that comfortably fits over your teeth. In fact, the tray is so unnoticeable that you can whiten you teeth while you work! As the active ingredient in the gel (hydrogen peroxide) is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to lighten discolorations. The tooth structure not changed - only the tooth color is lighter. Results vary, but are usually noticeable after the first several applications.

Crown restorations are very functional as well as aesthetically pleasing! In cases where teeth have large broken-down fillings, a crown can protect and preserve the remaining natural tooth structure. To enhance your smile a new metal-free tooth colored crown can also replace an older metal/porcelain crown.

In cases where teeth are missing, a bridge prevents the remaining natural teeth from shifting so that dental health and facial aesthetics are not compromised. Bridges may also provide a permanent, non-removable alternative to a removable partial or full dentures. Whether supported by natural teeth or implants, bridges can offer life-like aesthetics and stable chewing surfaces.

Veneers (a porcelain shell-like material that covers the front surface and lower edge of a tooth) may be used to alter the color, shape and size of your teeth. These advances in dental technology provide and effective alternative to crowns or caps. In some cases, veneers may eliminate the need for orthodontic treatment, providing a fast solution to a more attractive smile.

Bonding can be used to change the size or shape of your teeth, creating a smile that appears more symmetrical and space free, this single-visit procedure provides a fast solution for a more attractive smile and may eliminate the need for orthodontic treatment is some cases. Tooth stains and discolorations that resist professional tooth whitening procedures may also be masked with bonding. Although bonding may not be as long lasting as porcelain veneers or crowns, it can last for a number of years with proper care.

Until most recently, you had no choice about the color of your fillings. Now, you can have natural tooth-colored fillings that offer life-like aesthetic qualities. Another advantage of these fillings is that they are bonded to the tooth, giving a tighter seal and adding more strength to the tooth. No more silver fillings when you smile!

Dental Implants enable dentists to create healthy, attractive smiles in an innovative way. Used to replace one or more missing teeth, implants are another alternative to conventional bridges and dentures. Dental implants act and look like natural teeth. And, because they maintain bone mass, dental implants can help prevent additional tooth loss as well as the sunken facial appearance associated with missing teeth. A dental implant restoration consists of a bio-compatible screw and post topped by a crown, bridge or denture.
