Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures. It can be performed at your dentist’s office, often in a single visit. We will first remove plaque, tartar, and other debris from each tooth’s surface, restoring its natural appearance. The teeth can then be whitened with a bleaching agent to achieve an even lighter shade than this original color.

Over the years, teeth become stained and worn from food, drinks, medication, and personal habits such as smoking. Whitening can restore your teeth to the natural brighter white smile, and this procedure can be done in the dental office or at home. 

Patients who have specific teeth with noticeable stains that they’d like to have removed should carefully consider going to a professional to ensure that these stains are addressed with care and that the final results repair the problem fully. With an at-home kit, patients run the risk of making the problem appear worse rather than better. But professional teeth whitening systems are designed to address these types of issues.

If you have whitened your teeth recently, they may stain more easily. To keep your teeth white for as long as possible, avoid tobacco products and stain-causing food and drinks (like coffee, tea, and red wine) for several days after whitening. Keep in mind that teeth usually return to their original shade over time. But if you can steer clear of tobacco and large amounts of stain-causing food and drinks, your teeth may stay bright for several years.

Dental veneers, sometimes called porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.

They look exceptionally realistic and can resolve numerous cosmetic problems. They are routinely used to fix:
