So Much to Look Forward To!

Many people want to improve their smile, but hesitate because they have don’t know if the look they want can be accomplished. There are many aspects to making up a smile, and it can be hard, if not impossible for someone to clearly communicate what they see in their mind’s eye. That's where cosmetic digital imaging comes into play. This technology allows us to create images of your mouth, as if the cosmetic procedures have been completed. We can then view these images together, and if necessary modify the image until it shows us exactly what you want.

Once we have completed a thorough exam and discussed your 'smile' goals, a treatment plan will be created. We can then produce images showing your current smile and projected changes. This allows you to see what you will look like after treatment. Images can also be printed, which you can take home and discuss with family and friends before any treatment is performed. With digital imaging your results are predictable.

Whiter, Brighter Teeth

Dentist Supervised Tooth Whitening Can Give You The Smile You Always Wanted

Anyone can have the confidence that a bright, white smile can give you these days. Tooth whitening is safe, effective and long lasting. There are two main methods to get excellent results. We can provide a custom Home Tooth Whitening Kit, or teeth can be whitened in the office. Each has different advantages, and each addresses different situations. Simply talk with us about your concerns and what you want to achieve, and a dazzling whiter smile can be yours.

If you are thinking of other cosmetic improvements, such as crowns, porcelain veneers, or just replacing old discolored fillings, it may be worth considering whitening your teeth first, and any restorations we make for you can be matched to the whitened teeth, to give an overall great result.
