Brite Smile Teeth Whitening

With the use of the break-through "blue light" and hydrogen-peroxide, the BriteSmile technique will have your teeth looking as bright as new in a one hour visit.  BriteSmile is the latest state-of-the-art technology that effectively whitens teeth. Most patients have experienced an average whitening of teeth that are 9 shades whiter than before, some have even gone beyond that average. 

Our Doctors will examine each patient so he can determine if the procedure is right for you.  Once the doctor qualifies the procedure, the process will begin.  From the time the whitening gel is added, to the completion of the treatment, the procedure is finished in about an hour.

Depending on your exposure to staining foods and beverages, BriteSmile results can last as long as 2 years.  The treatments have been known to remove stains from caps, veneers, and bonded teeth.  Although BriteSmile may work in these situations,  the process alone will not change the color of caps, veneers, and bonds. 

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are routinely used to cover teeth which are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned.

Porcelain veneers, often alternatively termed dental veneers or dental porcelain laminates, are wafer-thin shells of porcelain which are bonded onto the front side of teeth in order to cosmetically improve their appearance. 

Typically veneers are difficult to stain, making veneers a very popular solution for many people seeking that perfect smile. Strong and very durable, veneers last from ten to fifteen years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth without the worry of them changing color. Veneers are typically done in only two one and a half hour long appointments, and can actually strengthen your tooth.

Bonding

Composite bonding can work wonders for your smile.  Using materials that match the shade, translucency and the texture of your teeth, gaps between teeth can be closed, spots and discolorations can be eliminated, and your self-confidence can be enhanced through the improved appearance of your smile.  Composite bonding is excellent for small defects in the teeth -- spots, chips, or gaps between teeth.  For smile alterations involving an entire tooth or multiple teeth, porcelain is the material of choice.  

Bonding for teeth involves the use of composite resin tooth-colored filling material.  This material can be used on the anterior (front) teeth or posterior (back) teeth.  The procedure is sometimes referred to as bonding is because an adhesive agent is used to actually bond the resin to the tooth structure.
