Crooked teeth can take a toll on your confidence as well as your oral health. The good news is that with SureSmile clear aligners, you can achieve a straighter smile without having to worry about metal braces. The clear aligners will provide the pressure needed to move the teeth, but they won’t draw unwanted attention due to being made out of see-through material. On top of that, SureSmile doesn’t limit your diet the way traditional braces do; when it’s time for a meal, you can take your aligners out of your mouth, thus leaving you free to eat whatever you want.

Drinking dark-colored beverages such as coffee can leave you with stains on your teeth. Oftentimes, we can get rid of the discoloration with a teeth whitening treatment. Depending on your preferences, you can choose between in-office and at-home teeth whitening. In-office treatments tend to yield results sooner, but at-home whitening is just as reliable. We can go over the specifics of each option so that you can pick the one that best suits your needs.

Dentistry doesn’t have to be just about fixing painful problems. It can also be about helping people to look and feel better about themselves. A smile is one of the most important ways we interact with people. Cosmetic dentistry can bring out the best in your own.

Veneers are a shell of a porcelain-like material that is affixed to the teeth. They are more expensive and comprehensive than composite bonding but fulfill the same function. Veneers work to fill in chips, providing more even teeth or filling in awkward gaps and spaces.

This method may require a bit more work on the teeth, possibly even chipping away more of the tooth to ensure a better fit when the veneer is bonded on. However, once the work is done, a veneer is a very durable, aesthetically pleasing technique that often requires no further touch-ups.

This is a process through which a plastic or resin is attached to your teeth. This can be used to cover and smooth over chips in your tooth, fill in gaps or awkward spacing, or seal cracks that may appear on certain teeth. Compared to other processes, composite bonding is relatively fast and not as expensive. However, this also means that the work may not last as long as other methods and might require replacement or touching up.

Composite bonding also stains more quickly than other cosmetic dental work. If you smoke, drink a lot of tea or coffee, or even eat a lot of candy; this can affect the appearance and durability of the bond.
