Teeth whitening can be done at home or in the dental office. Most people prefer the professional whitening done in the office because the results are seen in two hours, rather than in two weeks. We use the BriteSmile system, which is the most advanced, state-of-the-art technology. This whitening system is safe and effective and we promise to give you the brightest, whitest smile you can get. Results usually last for 2-3 years. Bonding is used in many situations, from repairing damaged or chipped portions of a tooth, to filling in spaces between teeth, to changing the color of teeth. It can be done in one visit and usually does not require getting numb or the removal of any or much tooth structure. Veneers are thin porcelain coverings that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to repair damage, change the shape or length, or to change tooth color. They are by far the most aesthetic restorations. Veneers require two treatment visits--one to prepare the teeth, and one to seat the veneers. The visits are much like those necessary for a crown. "Instant orthodontics" is a term used to describe the procedure which creates the illusion of having had braces to straighten the teeth and improve your smile. For certain people, a combination of veneers, crowns, and reshaping of teeth can give the appearance of straight teeth.
