1. Problem? - Stained, discolored, or dull-looking
teeth
Treatment Options - If you have stained or discolored teeth, but otherwise
like your smile the way it is, all you may need are whitening procedures to
give you the smile you've always wanted.
People with stained or dull teeth will benefit from whitening, a safe,
effecitve means to whiten stained, discolored or dull teeth (or even a
single tooth). In-office and supervised at-home whitening systems are
available. At-home systems should be individually fitted and monitored by
your cosmetic dentist.

2. Problem? - Chipped, cracked, or worn
teeth
Treatment Options - Teeth that are chipped, cracked or worn can be perfectly
restored with ultra thin, specially made laminates or veneers. Either option
can close gaps or disguise discolored teeth that do not respond well to
whitening procedures.
Long-lasting porcelain or composite veneers are ultra-thin, specially- made
laminates that are bonded to the teeth. Veneers are stronger and have a
longer life than bonding, but the process requires more time.
Bonding is a process in which an enamel-like material is applied to a
tooth's surface, sculpted to an ideal shape, hardended, and then polished
for an ideal smile. This procedure usually can be accomplished in a single
visit.

using fixed bridges or dental implants. Crown or bridge work is best for
correcting major functional or structural problems with individual teeth,
missing teeth or general bite dysfunction.
New porcelain and ceramic technology is available to replace missing and/or
severely broken teeth so that no one can tell that the replacements are not
