Natural looking veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smileand have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. We place veneers routinely and design each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient’s smile. Veneers are virtually undetectable due to the resemblance to healthy, white teeth. Plus, they are resistant to coffee, tea, and tobacco stains!

Tooth colored Bonding

We offer bonding as a conservative, non-invasive alternative to veneers. Bonding is applied directly to the tooth’s surface, so it eliminates the higher cost and longer treatment time associated with veneers. Bonding helps to fill gaps between teeth and cover chips or crack on the teeth. It also helps to lighten teeth that resist whitening treatments and balance proportions for short or narrow teeth.

 

We can help determine if cosmetic bonding is the best option for you to help enhance your smile. Give us a call to set up a consultation and see examples of the work we’ve completed for others.

Comfort Beyond Compare

We all like to joke about how much we hate to visit the dentist, but fear is a very real thing holding many people back from seeing the dentist. Many people suffer from dental anxiety, but we are here to alleviate any discomfort or fear you may have visiting us! Read below to find out more about the services we offer in our office to make your visit more comfortable.

Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas)

Nitrous oxide is a safe sedative that is mixed with oxygen and breathed through a small mask that fits over your nose.  It is a very effective remedy for anxiety and its effects can be felt within minutes.  It allows you to feel calm and comfortable throughout your dental procedure and the effects wear off shortly after removing the mask.  It is safe to drive home or return back to work after having nitrous oxide.

Fresh Cloths

We offer cleansing cloths scented with essential oils to clean up with and feel refreshed after your procedure.

Warm Blankets

If you’re feeling cold while sitting in the chair, we have warm cozy blankets available to help you feel relaxed and comfortable.

Noise-Cancelling Headphones

We offer noise-cancelling headphones for patients that want total distraction during their dental visit.  You can choose to listen to your own device, or we have devices pre-downloaded with soothing music you can enjoy during your visit.

Lavender eye pillows

These are wonderful for blocking out bright light while the scent of lavender will keep you naturally relaxed and calm during your procedure.  We are even happy to warm them up for you to enhance the effects of the lavender.

Beverages and Snacks

We offer chilled water, coffee and tea in the waiting room, and have a selection of yummy chocolate and sugar free candy at the checkout counter.  We want you to feel at home in our office!
