  1. Consider professional teeth whitening: At our office we offer two forms of teeth whitening. The option you choose is based on how quickly you want results. Zoom! Whitening involves placing a gel on the teeth in our office, using a curing light to active the bleaching agents and brightening teeth in under an hour. For a home-based approach we can provide a set of trays that you fill with gel and wear each day for about one to two weeks.
  2. Porcelain veneers: We can place veneers over the teeth to instantly change the appearance of the smile. Made from porcelain, these are thin shells that mask stains, correct the appearance of minor misalignment, and instantly reshape the teeth to address damage or other cosmetic issues.
  3. Brush and floss daily: When you care for your teeth you can help them stay brighter for longer. Brushing and flossing remove food particles and bacteria, which can lead to the plaque buildup. Plaque can cause the teeth to become easily stained.
  4. Have your teeth cleaned regularly: We suggest having your teeth cleaned twice a year to remove plaque completely and allow our hygienist to polish your teeth.
  5. Dental bonding: Dental bonding involves applying a composite material to the teeth and curing it with a special light. In once visit we can repair chips and mask discoloration.
