A healthy smile for you, your family, and friends

Everybody loves a bright white smile, and there are a variety of products available to help you improve the look of yours.  Prolite is recommended for patients who prefer convenience of teeth whitening in 30 minutes.   With tooth whitening tooth sensitivity can be an issue.  The length of time you apply the product can be shorten if sensitivity occurs.  Also, keeping the product away from the gums is essential as it may produce irritation. In office alternatives are available but we do not offer this service as this can be cost prohibitive and painful.

If you have a tooth that has broken down due to decay or you have a large metal filling that needs to be replaced. A white crown can be used to restore that tooth back to its prominence. White crowns provide strength and a natural appearance where little tooth structure remains. In addition, white crowns can be used to cover space where a tooth has been lost. By fusing porcelain together crowns form what is called a bridge and bring a natural appearance to that space.

Crowns are excellent restorations and have few disadvantages. They are highly durable, but they will eventually need to be re-cemented or replaced due to normal wear.

White bonded fillings are used to restore teeth after a cavity has been removed. In addition they are used to whiten discolored teeth or restore small cracks or gaps between teeth. Material used is a white composite resin that is molded to your tooth and harden by an ultraviolet light.

White composite bonded filling usually lasts from 7-10 years pending care and usual wear.
