OUR COSMETIC DENTISTRY SERVICES
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments. Over time, teeth can become stained from foods, beverages, medications, and natural aging.
Our professional whitening options provide safe and effective results that are more consistent and longer-lasting than over-the-counter products. Whitening treatments can significantly brighten your smile while preserving enamel health.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers can correct a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including discoloration, chips, gaps, and uneven tooth shape.
Each veneer is designed to match your natural teeth in color and translucency, creating a seamless and natural-looking result. With proper care, porcelain veneers can provide long-lasting cosmetic improvement.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored resin material to repair minor cosmetic imperfections such as chips, cracks, or small gaps. Bonding is a conservative and cost-effective cosmetic solution that can often be completed in a single visit.
Bonding is frequently used by our cosmetic dental team to make subtle enhancements that preserve natural tooth structure.
Botox for TMJ Pain
Botox therapy may be used as part of a treatment plan for patients experiencing jaw tension, clenching, or discomfort related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
By relaxing overactive muscles, Botox can help reduce pain, headaches, and jaw strain. This service is carefully evaluated and recommended based on individual patient needs.
Endosteal Implant Placement
Endosteal dental implants are placed directly into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Implants provide a stable, long-lasting foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures and help maintain jawbone health.
Dental implants are considered both a functional and cosmetic solution, restoring the appearance of a complete, natural smile while supporting chewing and speech.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a procedure used to restore bone volume in areas where bone loss has occurred. This treatment is often necessary to support successful dental implant placement.
By rebuilding the jawbone, bone grafting helps maintain facial structure and allows for long-term implant stability. Our doctors carefully evaluate each patient to determine whether bone grafting is needed as part of their cosmetic or restorative plan.
COSMETIC DENTISTRY AND ORAL HEALTH
While cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance, oral health remains a top priority. Our doctors ensure that cosmetic treatments are only recommended when teeth and gums are healthy enough to support them.
In many cases, cosmetic dentistry can improve oral health by restoring damaged teeth, correcting bite issues, and replacing missing teeth.
