There is a wide range of dental procedures available to enhance the smile and improve one's ability to chew. Below are some featured photographs illustrating such procedures.
Whitening
The Zoom whitening procedure was used in this case to lighten the patient's teeth. The procedure takes about one hour to complete and the results last for an estimated time of 2-5 years, and touch-up kits are available.
Cosmetic Bonding
In this case, bonding was used to repair the chipped area and to close the gap between the patient's front teeth. The resulting appearance is achieved with a procedure that can often be performed without anesthesia.
Veneers
In this case, porcelain veneers were placed on the patient's front teeth. The before picture illustrates staining. The resulting smile features lighter teeth and straighter tooth alignment while maintaining a natural appearance.
All-Porcelain Crowns
In this case, all porcelain crowns were placed on the patient's front teeth. Note that the absence of metal in these crowns gives a natural appearance and eliminates the grayness that is visible at the gum line of the patient's old metal/porcelain crown.
Implants
In this case, a dental implant is used to replace the patient's congenitally missing lateral incisors. Note the natural contour and appearance of the resulting teeth.
