Teeth Whitening & Bonding

WHITENING

We offer Teeth Whitening to patients who like their teeth but want them whiter and brighter. Take-home whitening trays are available.

BONDING

Bonding can yield significant results in just one painless office visit. Bonding hides natural flaws by placing a thin plastic coating on the visible surface of the teeth.

We apply a putty-like bonding material to the surface of a treated tooth. The bonding material is then shaped and colored to produce a natural look. The surface is hardened, smoothed, and polished by a high-intensity light.

Techniques for tooth-colored restorations have improved drastically in the last 20 years. We now have higher-quality materials, improved adhesion, and less invasive tooth preparation techniques. These new materials are more cost-effective and can be shade-matched and contoured to look like natural teeth.
