Teeth Whitening & Veneers

It’s natural for teeth to darken over time. Daily habits—such as drinking coffee, tea, or soda—along with factors like age, tobacco use, childhood medications, certain illnesses, and inconsistent oral hygiene, can all contribute to discoloration. Restoring and maintaining a  bright, healthy smile is one of our team’s top priorities.

Because every smile is unique, we offer a variety of whitening and cosmetic options to help you achieve the shade you desire.

1. Replacement of Old, Discolored Fillings

Old or stained fillings can dull your smile. Replacing them with natural, tooth-colored materials can improve both appearance and health.
What to expect during the procedure:

• • We begin by evaluating the area to determine whether the filling replacement is cosmetic or if decay is present.
  • If needed, the tooth will be numbed for your comfort.
  • The old filling—and any decay beneath it—is carefully removed with a dental handpiece.
  • After the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and checked, a new filling is placed, shaped, cured with a blue light, and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth.
  • Our office is continuously researching and training on the best products available.

Correct bite alignment is important. If a new filling feels “high” or causes soreness when biting, a quick adjustment can resolve the issue.

2. Whitening Toothpaste

Whitening toothpaste is a simple way to help maintain your bright smile.

We offer Opalescence Whitening Toothpaste, which can lighten teeth up to two shades in two weeks, with visible improvements in just one week. It strengthens enamel, helps prevent cavities, is safe for daily use, and is gluten-free.

3. Professional-Strength Whitening Strips

For convenient at-home whitening with stronger results than store-bought options, we offer Opalescence, Home advance, prefilled whitening trays.

Benefits include:

• • Up to 4–5 shades of whitening
  • UltraFit trays that comfortably conform to your teeth
  • No impressions required
  • Ready to use right out of the box

4. Custom Whitening Trays

For deeper, more personalized whitening, we offer custom-made trays created from impressions of your teeth.
Paired with professional-strength Opalescence take-home whitening gel, these trays:

• • Provide some of the strongest and more controlled whitening
  • Are ideal for stubborn stains
  • Allow you to whiten from the comfort of your home
  • Offer a tailored fit for optimal coverage and comfort

Veneers are an excellent option for enhancing the brightness, shape, and overall appearance of your smile. A veneer is a thin layer of material bonded to the front surface of a tooth to improve aesthetics and provide added protection.

Types of Veneers

• Composite Veneers: Created and placed in the office in a single visit
• Porcelain Veneers: Custom-made in a dental lab and placed over two appointments

Why choose veneers?

Veneers can:

• Lengthen teeth
• Close gaps
• Cover stains that whitening cannot remove
• Repair chips or worn edges
• Create a straighter, brighter, more uniform smile

Before beginning any cosmetic treatment, it is essential that your teeth and gums are healthy. We require that all underlying issues are addressed and that patients have had a hygiene appointment within the past six months.

Composite (Chairside) Veneers

Composite veneers can be completed in one day.

During this appointment:

• Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and design your ideal smile.
• A small amount of enamel may be removed to create space for bonding.
• The composite material is sculpted directly onto your tooth and polished to a natural shine.

Composite veneers are durable and beautiful, but may chip or wear over time. If that occurs, porcelain may be a better long-term option.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers provide exceptional longevity, stain-resistance, and a highly natural appearance.

Treatment process:

• Consultation – We discuss your goals and determine your suitability.
• Preparation – A small amount of enamel is reshaped and impressions are taken.
• Temporaries – Temporary veneers are placed while your custom porcelain veneers are crafted in a dental lab.
• Final Placement – Once ready, your veneers are bonded in place and your bite is checked for comfort.

After placement, caring for veneers is simple—maintain your regular brushing, flossing, and hygiene visits to keep your smile looking beautiful for years.
