Thanks to advances in modern dental materials and techniques,
your dentist can help you attain the smile you've always
wanted. The contour, color and alignment of your teeth
can be changed by such cosmetic techniques as
bleaching, bonding, veneers, inlays, and orthodontics.
Bleaching lightens stains or discoloration and
can be performed on living teeth or teeth that have
undergone root canal treatment.
Bonding restores chipped, cracked, miscolored
or misaligned teeth by rebuilding the surface with a
plastic or porcelain material.
Porcelain laminate veneers bond custom-made
tooth-shaped shells to correct or camouflage discoloration,
damage or misalignment.
Inlays and onlays can be tooth-colored
restorations that are used on the chewing surfaces
of the back teeth. They can be placed instead
of silver fillings or to replace existing silver
fillings.
