When you see a movie star with perfect teeth, there’s a good chance that veneers were used to craft that smile! A veneer is a thin piece of either porcelain or composite resin that is bonded to the front of your tooth. Veneers can be used to correct cosmetic problems by improving the color, shape, length, or size of a tooth. You can get one veneer or several, depending on your cosmetic goals.

Whitening your teeth is one of the simplest and most cost-effective improvements you can make. Drugstore whitening kits may be easy to find (and cheap), but nothing beats a professional whitening service.

If you need a filling, there are two main materials that can be used to do the job–amalgam or composite resin. Both are safe to use and effective. The difference is the cosmetic result. Amalgam is a traditional metal filling that looks like a silver or gray spot against the white of your tooth. Composite resin fillings, in comparison, can be created to match the shade of your natural tooth. Composite resin can also be used in a process called bonding - where we apply the material in a putty-like state to the surface of your tooth to give it the perfect shape. Once the material hardens, we trim and polish it further to make it look flawless!
