COSMETIC/ESTHETIC TECHNIQUES

All Porcelain Crowns vs. Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns

Our office uses the most up to date and natural looking crowns on front teeth.  They are All Porcelain Empress Crowns.

In years past all that was available was the old Porcelain Fused to a Metal Base Crowns.

The problem with the old Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns was that they had an opaque and flat color appearance, and throughout the years as your gums could recede and the metal edge would begin to show.

With all Porcelain Crowns you get a very natural translucent appearance.

There are still rare instances where the porcelain fused to metal crowns would be the only option.  Some instances could be a long bridge span or if the patient grinds their teeth.

If you have the old Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns and are interested in replacing them, please contact our office for a Free Consult.


Tooth Contouring/Bonding

Chipped, cracked teeth refashioned and gaps closed usually in one visit. An enamel-like resin material is microscopically bonded to your teeth, layer by layer, to form a durable, natural-like fusion.


At Home Smile Whitening

Professional, dentist approved, at-home whitening is safe and can achieve balanced results. The trays that hold the whitening solutions are custom made to fit snugly to your teeth to create maximum whiteness.

They can be worn at night or during the day; you’ll almost forget you have them on. It can take one to two weeks to achieve the results you desire; consistent usage is necessary.
