- FillingsTooth-colored fillings are a safer and more attractive alternative to older silver amalgam fillings. By precisely matching tooth-colored composite fillings with the natural color of your teeth, a skilled cosmetic dentist is able to provide you with white fillings that are virtually invisible. The removal of amalgam fillings can provide patients with white fillings that provide a more pleasing, silver-free smile.
- Resin CompositeWhite fillings are made of composite resin and serve to fill cavities just like silver amalgam fillings. However, white fillings are matched to the color of your teeth and are virtually invisible. Tooth-colored fillings have become more popular over the years. As the availability of white fillings has increased and the possible dangers associated with amalgam fillings have been publicized, more and more patients are having their cavities filled with beautifully white, tooth-colored fillings.
- VeneersIn this process, very small amounts of enamel are removed with a drill or specialized laser, after which abrasive strips are used to shape the sides of the tooth. After this, a veneer or other coating will be applied and shaped to the natural form of the tooth. This is usually an inexpensive process, and is good for repairing small chips and other minor problems. A similar procedure known as bonding can also fix chips and other imperfections.
- CrownsA gum lift is a cosmetic dental procedure that raises and sculpts the gum line. This procedure involves reshaping the tissue and/or underlying bones to create the appearance of longer or symmetrical teeth, thereby making the smile more aesthetically pleasing. This procedure is typically done to fix excessively gummy smiles or to balance out an asymmetrical gum line. The procedure, also known as crown-lengthening, has historically been used to treat gum disease. It is only within the past three to five years that dentists have used this procedure for aesthetic purposes.
- Bridges
- Dental Bonding"Bonding" is simply a method of "micromechanical" retention of a restorative material to the tooth. "cosmetic bonding" is the bonding of restorative materials to the tooth to enhance esthetics. Bonding is used to whiten, straighten, lengthen, reshape, or restore teeth using either chairside or custom-fabricated materials.

- DenturesImplants are a prosthodontic procedure used to provide permanent replacements for lost teeth without attachment to other teeth. Implants are an alternative treatment for crowns, bridges, and dentures and are considered unnecessary by most insurance companies. Because the process can involve procedures performed by more than one dentist, implants can be very expensive and time intensive.
- Dental ImplantsThe normal process for implants is to visit your dentist and discuss what it is you want. This is very important to insuring satisfactory results. Once your dentist is sure you understand this type of treatment, and what kind of result to expect, you may be referred to a Prosthodontist, if your dentist does not do prosthodontics. The Prosthodontist or your dentist will explain the process of making models of your mouth to be used in the fabrication, by a dental lab, of the replacement teeth.

- Teeth WhiteningWhitening or bleaching the teeth to achieve a whiter smile is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure performed today. Over the years, you've experienced a natural buildup of organic pigments on your teeth. Colorized proteins from coffees, teas, and other foods have darkened the natural whiteness of your teeth. The use of tobacco, antibiotics, and certain minerals usually speeds the darkening process.
- Cosmetic DentistryCosmetic dentistry is usually treatment of healthy teeth to correct or enhance their appearance. Teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding are the most common cosmetic dental procedures. Veneers and bonding are used when the teeth are badly stained or when spacing and/or shape needs enhancing.
