Cosmetic Dentistry and Veneers

Cosmetic / Aesthetic Dentistry:

From subtle changes to major repairs, there is a variety of procedures to improve your smile. Depending on the case , it can be reshaping the teeth, closing spaces, restoring short or irregular teeth, whitening teeth, replacing missing teeth. Common procedures include whitening, reshaping tooth with tooth colored fillings (which is bonding) or contouring , crowns, veneers , dentures and more.

Direct Veneers (Bonding):

They are conservative alternative to porcelain veneers as they require very little , if any, removal of tooth structure, and do not require laboratory fabrication, thus minimizing the cost.

Tooth colored composite filling material layered over an entire or part of tooth to improve the shape of the of a tooth, remove gaps between teeth, or mask the color of existing teeth. They are used to significantly improve the appearance of a single tooth or to multiple teeth to create a new smile. The cost for each tooth is $330.
