Common Questions
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material which are bonded to the front of the teeth. This procedure can be an ideal choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth by masking discolorations, whitening teeth and/or reshaping a smile. The porcelain systems used for veneers have improved dramatically in recent years, allowing us to create realistic translucency and shade for a natural appearance.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Nothing improves your appearance like a whiter smile. Whitening systems sold at the grocery store just can't give you the whitest smile; only your dentist can. The active ingredient in our whitening system, carbamide peroxide, has been recognized by the FDA for many years as an oral antiseptic and is now used mainly for its superior tooth whitening properties. We have solutions in a variety of carbamide peroxide strengths to whiten even the toughest stains.
Do you offer natural color fillings?
New advances in bonding, resins and ceramics have made tooth-colored fillings that are strong and lasting a reality. Dental amalgam (silver) is an economical option that is safe for most people except those few who have true allergic reactions to it.
