For the smile of your life

Porcelain veneers can make dramatic changes to your smile.  They are wonderful solutions for correcting a wide variety of aesthetic problems you may have with your smile, including:

       *  Chipped, damaged, or broken teeth
       *  Crooked or misaligned teeth
       *  Gaps between teeth
       *  Stained teeth
       *  Discolored fillings
       *  Worn teeth

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are permanently bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth.  They can be applied to just one tooth or multiple teeth, depending on the amount of correction you desire.  Porcelain veneers can even be used in some cases to straighten teeth that would normally require braces.

Digital X-rays

Did you know that we use digital x-rays? 

      We have been using digital x-rays for the last year.  We made the change because digital x-rays use less radiation than film x-rays.  This is very important to our patients and to us.  Another big benefit of using digital radiographs is that we are able to look at these images on a larger scale and can zoom in or out depending on what we are trying to see. This helps us in our diagnosis.  Our patients love that they can see these images on the monitor as we are discussing treatment with them.  This is state-of-the-art technology and definitely better for the environment because they do not use chemicals to develop them.
