Whether it’s missing teeth, gap teeth, or surface stains, you can have the perfect smile makeover. It’s just a matter of assessing your needs and choosing the procedures that fit you best. Let’s go over some of your options below.
Invisalign
Everyone loves Invisalign. That’s because while the clear aligners aren’t invisible, they are difficult to detect. Most people won’t notice that you’re wearing them. They’re the perfect alternative for garish braces and metal brackets. They can treat the following conditions:
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is by far the most popular makeover procedure. That’s because it works. This is not some DIY whitening kit–no, we use high-quality, professional treatments designed to drastically alter the appearance of the teeth. The results are shocking, and the procedure is quite versatile. It can be used to treat the following aesthetic concerns:
Teeth whitening delivers more than just a cosmetic enhancement—it also fosters better dental health and hygiene. Many patients report adopting healthier dietary and beverage habits after treatment to preserve their radiant smile and prevent teeth restaining.
Veneers
Dental veneers are renowned for their natural look and feel, resembling the texture and appearance of real teeth. Crafted from thin layers, usually porcelain, veneers are meticulously placed over the tooth surface. They serve both cosmetic and protective purposes, concealing chips, cracks, or stains, while also offering a shield against further damage. Patients opt for veneers to mask imperfections and achieve a flawless, Hollywood-worthy smile.
Crowns
Crowns are custom-designed tooth-shaped caps, crafted from durable materials such as resin or porcelain, and they snugly fit over the tooth like a protective hat. They serve a dual purpose: supporting and reinforcing damaged, fractured, or decayed teeth, while also concealing any aesthetic imperfections. Whether you're looking to strengthen a compromised tooth or enhance its appearance, crowns offer a versatile solution to restore your smile's health and beauty.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is an adhesive, resinous material that takes on the appearance of tooth enamel. It is stained to mimic the color of a patient’s tooth and then applied to fill cavities, cracks, and chips. It can also reduce the appearance of imperfections.
Dental Implants
A smile without teeth can sometimes convey the wrong impression. Luckily, dental implants offer a solution. These prosthetic teeth are often indistinguishable from natural ones and can last a lifetime with proper care, potentially never needing replacement. Moreover, they can function just like real teeth, providing both aesthetic appeal and practical utility.
