Teeth Whitening

Problem

Stained, dull teeth.

Solution

There are several procedures to whiten teeth which can be discussed with the parent and patient when age appropriate.

Bonding

Problem

Teeth that are chipped, discolored, uneven, stained or gapped.

Solution

Bonding with composite resin. The composite resin used in bonding is a tooth-colored material that is applied directly to the enamel of teeth and shaped to correct the patient's aesthetic concern. When exposed to a special ultraviolet light, the resin hardens into place.

Fillings

Problem

Tooth decay that has led to the development of a cavity, or small hole, in the tooth.

Solution

Fillings. Your dentist will remove all areas of decay, and replace with a filling made of silver (amalgam) or composite resin. Composite resin fillings have surged in popularity because their appearance perfectly matches the natural appearance of teeth.
