is accomplished by placing a whitening chemical on your teeth. We
offer both a tray method and an in office procedure called Single Visit Power Whitening.

Single Visit Power Whitening
With this method, you will achieve whitened teeth in just one visit.
A chemical will be placed on your teeth and a light will be used to
accelerate the whitening process.

are discolored or stained.

appointments

Instant Orthodontics/Porcelain Veneers, Crowns or Bonding
Problem: Uneven, poorly spaced or crooked teeth.
Solution: By using either porcelain crowns or
porcelain veneers and in certain instances bonding we can straighten
your teeth without the need for conventional Orthodontics. We perform
a simple procedure to reshape and reduce your existing teeth to
accommodate the veneers, crowns or bonding. The result is a more
ideal smile "instantly" without having to move the teeth.
Ideal Candidate: You are a candidate for this if
you would like your teeth to look straighter and cannot commit to the
time for conventional orthodontics.
Time Commitment: 1-3 appointments
Average Cost: $ 900-$1,000, per tooth

Gum Contouring
Problem: A smile that shows too much gum line,
often making your teeth appear too short.
Solution: This procedure is a minor surgical
procedure. It is generally as simple as trimming the gum tissue.
Just like trimming your cuticles around your fingernails or it maybe
as advanced as trimming both gum and bone from around the front of the
teeth. The procedure establishes more natural shape and length of
your teeth.
Time Commitment: 1 appointment
Average Cost: $250-$850
Bonding
Problem: A chipped or broken tooth or teeth.
Solution: Bonding material is bonded to the tooth
wherever the tooth is chipped or broken. The tooth is cleaned and
treated with an adhesive to which the bonding material attaches to
the tooth. The bonding material replaces the missing part of
the tooth and is tooth colored in appearance.
Ideal Candidate: A tooth that has been chipped
or broken but still has two-thirds of the natural tooth remaining
is an ideal candidate for a bonding procedure.
Time Commitment: 1 appointment
Average Cost: $500-$750
