The Clear Alternative to Braces

Straight teeth are not only important for esthetics, but also for good oral hygiene. Mal-aligned teeth are more difficult to clean, can lead to periodontal disease, heart disease, joint pain in the jaw and teeth are subject to more chipping and wear.

Tooth Whitening

Everyone wants a healthier whiter smile. After your cleaning and exam, talk to your dentist about the possibility of whitening your teeth. There are some factors to consider before whitening your teeth:
- After in office whitening your teeth are more porous and are more susceptible to picking up stains, therefore it is important to refrain from ingesting wine, coffee, tea or anything else that might stain your teeth for at least 3 days.
- Tooth sensitivity is a common reaction a few days after tooth whitening.
- It's important to understand that results do vary. Some stains are easier to remove than others.

White Fillings

The days of requiring silver fillings are gone. Our office restores teeth with only white colored fillings. White fillings have the best results with patients who have healthy gums. Healthy gums do not bleed when brushing and flossing. After receiving your white fillings it is important to maintain them by brushing and flossing well, otherwise more cavities will develop over time.
