Porcelain veneers

Using a thin porcelain facing, we can close spaces, make crooked teeth appear straight, and restore cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth. By bonding tooth-colored resin, we can restore areas of decay as well as provide cosmetic improvements.

Sleep apnea appliances

Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea can often be treated with an intraoral appliance. We can work with your sleep doctor to provide appliances that may replace or enhance the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) equipment you may be using.

Tooth whitening

Brightening and lightening dulled yellow teeth may be all that's needed to improve a smile. We provide whitening services that can be performed with our state-of-the-art whitening system or through a dentist-supervised at-home whitening system.
