A tooth veneer is one of the most beautiful procedures in dentistry. Dental veneers can significantly improve the aesthetics of a person’s smile with a minimum of tooth preparation. With the expert technique, these corrections can last for a long time.

A tooth veneer is a thin layer of porcelain that is bonded to the tooth after minor preparation. They provide a harmonized aesthetic look, and the results will last for a long time.

There are different types of teeth veneers. The choice will depend on the clinical findings, such as existing tooth color, spacing, and enamel quality. Generally, they fall into two categories: porcelain, hand-built with powder and liquid, or E-max veneers made of layers of porcelain.

Teeth whitening can be one of the simplest and least expensive ways to improve your smile. Also called “teeth bleaching,” this procedure can brighten and whiten your teeth from discoloration or staining. It can be done as an in-office procedure or an at-home procedure.

Not everyone’s teeth can be bleached, so it is essential to check with us so we can determine what works for you.

Some patients prefer the take-home method because it is simpler and can be more effective with fewer teeth sensitivity since the bleaching material has less concentration, and the custom-built tray can be used for touch-ups.

For large-size cavities, we recommend indirect porcelain fillings, known as an onlay or an inlay. These restorations are more robust, have more structural stability, remain consistent in color, and are more biocompatible.

We utilize a material called E-Max, a very durable porcelain with excellent aesthetics. They require two appointments; the first will be to prepare the cavity, make the impression and place a temporary. The second appointment will be the cementation of the porcelain filling that our in-house laboratory has fabricated. The results are magnificent.

In dental bonding, a tooth-colored, putty-like resin, a durable plastic material, is applied and hardened with an ultraviolet, bonding the material to the tooth. It can be used to repair decayed, chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth; it is also an excellent cosmetic alternative too, or replacement for, amalgam or silver fillings.
