Cosmetic & Restorative Treatment Options

Cosmetic improvements aren't just for looks—they also strengthen and protect your teeth. If your smile doesn’t accurately reflect the way that you would like to feel about yourself, it may be time to consider the option of cosmetic dentistry. Our cosmetic services include the following.

Modern composite fillings blend naturally with your existing tooth structure while restoring strength and function. These restorations eliminate the appearance of traditional silver fillings and provide a durable, aesthetic solution for treating cavities.

Porcelain crowns (also known as caps) completely cover and protect damaged teeth while restoring their appearance, strength, and function. As a restorative material, porcelain is an ideal solution that offers strength as well as natural beauty and comfort. Using advanced digital technology, we create restorations that are designed to look real and complement your smile.

Porcelain veneers are thin custom-crafted restorations that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. Veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of chipped, worn, stained, or slightly misaligned teeth while creating a natural, long-lasting result.

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. In addition to restoring your smile, implants help preserve jawbone health and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. Implant-supported restorations can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even help secure dentures for improved comfort and confidence. Once the titanium implant post has been placed, we finalize the process by attaching a porcelain crown.
