Smiles matter more than we may realize. Volumes of research confirm the influential role our smiles play on our relationships and our self-esteem. If you’re confident, you smile more.

Porcelain Veneers
Veneers provide an artist’s touch to your smile. Custom-crafted, these ultra-thin porcelain creations work in magical ways. Regardless of your vision for your smile, chances are veneers offer an answer. When today’s modern materials meet our passion for cosmetic excellence, you’ll be amazed at what you see smiling back at you in the mirror.
Porcelain Crowns
Damaged teeth might seem hopeless, but there’s often still a solid foundation that leaves you with options. A crown, or cap, can bring a compromised tooth back to full function. With modern porcelains, you’ll probably have a difficult time trying to find where the crown ends and the tooth starts.
Composite Fillings
Cavities, chips, and fractures can occur on any tooth surface throughout the mouth. Composite filling material provides a versatile solution to many common problems. After being blended into a prepared area, the composite is polished to a smooth, undetectable surface.
Teeth Whitening
Nothing boosts your confidence like a terrific smile. But when yellow stains dim its brilliance, it’s time to give it a lift. Professional whitening systems provide the ultimate in whitening results, quickly removing years of discoloration with quality materials.
Onlays
Teeth rarely fracture in a perfectly predictable way. Sometimes a break is too big for a filling, but not big enough for a crown. Porcelain onlays provide an excellent solution for teeth that need extra reinforcement without needing to be covered entirely. Bonded into a place, they provide years of natural feel, function, and esthetics.
