Laser teeth whitening is an in-office procedure that noticeably brightens teeth. This is great for people whose teeth are stained from years of drinking coffee, red wine, or dark pop, or from smoking. Unfortunately, laser teeth whitening does not usually work on teeth that have permanent tetracycline stains (read about veneers for an alternative in this case). A laser teeth whitening treatment usually takes a little over an hour to perform. A bleaching solution is applied to the surface of the teeth, and a laser light is directed at the mouth. The laser's heat activates the solution, and subsequently brightens the teeth. Patients walk out with an improved smile, and can expect the results to last for several months to a couple years. Laser Teeth Whitening is now more affordable than ever. To learn more about the cost of laser teeth whitening, visit our teeth whitening/teeth bleaching cost page.

Custom made for each patient, they are constructed of high quality, durable porcelain, and sized to fit over existing teeth. They will retain their attractive and natural appearance for years, making them superior to other materials that can be used in similar situations. There are many dental situations that may call for or benefit from porcelain veneers. They can improve teeth that are crooked, chipped, or broken. They can correct a mouth with gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers can also improve stained teeth, and is a great option for patients who are not candidates for laser teeth whitening. Dental implants are intended to replace missing teeth. The implant, itself, is placed within the jawbone, taking over the role of a root. The health of the gumline depends on the existence of tooth roots, so this is a crucial role. The implant, usually custom-made of sturdy titanium, also acts as an anchor for a prosthetic tooth. The tooth, usually a porcelain crown, screws onto the implant, holding firmly and naturally in place. Patients enjoy the freedom they gain with dental implants. Chewing, talking, laughing, and hygiene are much easier with implants than with other similar options such as dentures or crown and bridge work.
