Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure aimed at brightening the natural color of teeth. It involves the application of bleaching agents to remove stains and discoloration caused by factors like aging, consumption of certain foods and beverages, and smoking. Our teeth whitening treatments can be performed in-office, with noticeable results after just one visit.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells made of tooth-colored porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of teeth by covering imperfections such as chips, cracks, stains, and gaps. Porcelain veneers provide a natural-looking and durable solution for achieving a beautiful, symmetrical smile.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are dental restorations that cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. They are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of the patient's natural teeth. Dental crowns can restore the functionality, strength, and aesthetics of a tooth, making them an effective solution for teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, have large fillings, or are severely worn or misshapen.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does teeth whitening last, and are there any side effects?

    Teeth whitening results can vary depending on factors such as individual habits and oral hygiene. Generally, the effects of professional teeth whitening can last from several months to a few years. However, consuming staining substances like coffee or tobacco can shorten the duration. Temporary side effects may include tooth sensitivity or gum irritation, but these typically subside shortly after the treatment.

  • Are porcelain veneers permanent?

    Porcelain veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic dental solution. The process involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface of the teeth to accommodate the veneers. While the veneers themselves are durable, they may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to natural wear and tear or accidental damage.

  • Can teeth bonding fix gaps between teeth?

    Yes, teeth bonding can be an effective solution for closing small gaps between teeth. The procedure involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to the affected area, which is then shaped and hardened. Teeth bonding can improve the appearance of the smile by closing gaps, repairing chips or cracks, and enhancing the shape and color of the teeth.

  • Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?

    In general, most cosmetic dentistry procedures are considered elective and primarily focused on improving aesthetics rather than addressing functional issues. As a result, they are often not covered by dental insurance. However, certain restorative treatments that also have cosmetic benefits, such as dental crowns, may be partially covered if deemed necessary for oral health. It's advisable to check with your dental insurance provider to understand the specific coverage and potential out-of-pocket expenses for cosmetic procedures.
