RELIABLE COSMETIC DENTISTRY
A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of a face. With the enormous advances in dentistry, you no longer have to settle for stained, chipped or misshapen teeth. You now have choices that can help you smile with confidence. Even the most subtle change in your smile can make a dramatic difference in the way you look and feel about yourself. Dr. Hine would love to talk to you about your most suitable options, what your expectations are and the dental fees involved. Some options are:
Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening
(bleaching) brightens teeth that are discolored or stained. Bleaching may be done completely in our office or with a take-home kit supplied by us.
Bonding
Bonding
can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked, stained or have spaces between them. With bonding, tooth-colored materials are applied, or bonded, to the tooth surface.
Enamel Shaping
Enamel shaping
involves modifying teeth to improve their appearance by removing or contouring enamel. The process, which often is combined with bonding, usually is quick and comfortable and the results can be seen immediately.
Veneers
Veneers
are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front side of teeth. Made of tooth-colored materials, veneers are used to treat spaces between teeth that are chipped or worn, permanently stained, poorly shaped or slightly crooked.
Quality Teeth Whitening
Everybody loves a bright, white smile, and there are a variety of products and procedures available to help you improve your looks. Many people are satisfied with the sparkle they get from brushing twice daily with a fluoride-containing toothpaste, cleaning between their teeth once a day, and the regular cleanings at their dentist’s office. If you decide you would like to go beyond the usual process to make your smile look brighter, you should investigate all of your options.

You can take several approaches to whiten your smile:- In-office bleaching, which utilizes a higher concentration of whitening gel to get immediate results.
- At-home bleaching, which is the most common form we recommend. It uses a high-strength whitening gel that brings out a bright smile in about one to two weeks.
- Whitening toothpaste and over-the-counter whitening agents, which may help in some cases involving surface stain. To get the biggest benefit, however, many people will need to supplement this with an at-home system.
