Cosmetic Services
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic Dentistry(also known as Aesthetic Dentistry) can dramatically change the look of your smile. Procedures range from simple whitening techniques to full smile restorations. Teeth Whitening, Bonding, Closing Spaces, Porcelain Veneers, and Crownsall can be considered cosmetic dentistryprocedures.

In the past, dental restorations (“ fillings“) and other tooth restorationswere made of gold, amalgam and other metals — some of which were veneered with porcelain. Now, dental work can be made entirely of porcelain or composite materials that more closely mimic the appearance of natural tooth structure. These tooth colored materials are bonded to the underlying tooth structure with resin adhesives. Unlike silver fillings (amalgams) they are entirely free of mercury. Many dentistsoffer procedures to be cosmetic and because their patients prefer natural looking teeth.
