We take pride in enhancing beautiful smiles by providing smile lifts utilizing porcelain veneers. We also provide whitening, bonding, crowns and most recently, procedures using the newest restorative materials available. Our office incorporates all state of the art equipment designed to make your visit safe and enjoyable.

Veneers are thin shells that are laid onto the teeth and bonded to the surface. Although they can be made of different materials, porcelain is frequently used because of its durability and realistic appearance. Veneers are a more conservative alternative to crowns since they require less removal of the tooth's original surface. With veneers in place, patients can expect straighter, whiter, and more even looking teeth.

When a tooth is cracked, decayed, or damaged, a crown may need to be fitted onto the tooth. A crown is a permanent covering that fits over the original tooth. Crowns can be made of porcelain, gold and other metals, acrylic resin, or an amalgam (a mix) of these materials. Porcelain crowns typically have the most realistic appearance, although they tend to be less durable than other materials. Crowns can whiten, reshape, and realign existing teeth, adding to a healthy and vibrant smile.

The goal of our practice is to help anyone have a healthier and brighter smile. Every aspect of our practice is designed to deliver the highest quality professional care with an ear to your personal need. I love to teach hands-on dentistry. One of the common complaints I hear all the time from doctors is "I gave my lab all this information and they still did not get the case right."

What separates our practice from all others, is our state-of-the-art Ceramists and aesthetic laboratory technicians.
