Each case is different, but in most cases, teeth can be straightened with porcelain veneers. A lot of factors such as tooth size, shape, spaces, color, and most importantly a person's bite, are taken into consideration.

*For most adults, veneers are the preferred treatment due to time limitation involved with treatment.

Porcelain veneers usually are completed within 2-3 months.

Over the years, Amalgam (silver fillings), expands in your tooth, which can cause fractures that make the tooth susceptible to breaking or may lead to decay under the filling. Replacing the amalgam with a new composite filling may prevent these problems.

We file all dental insurance as a courtesy to our patients. Insurance companies will pay a portion of our fees. We offer in house estimates to our patients for all planned treatment.

A soft-bristled, ADA approved brush is always a good choice. Medium and Hard Bristled toothbrushes can cause damage to your teeth and gums. Excellent oral hygiene is maintained through correctly using your toothbrush, not by the firmness of the bristles themselves.

Bleeding gums are most often a sign of Periodontal Disease, but gums bleed for many different reasons. Gums bleed in the presence of plaque and tartar build-up. They can also bleed throughout different types of bacteria attacking the gums. This could also be the first sign of a medical condition. Bleeding gums can be prevented by correctly brushing and flossing and having bi-annual check ups by your dental hygienist.
