We use the Zoom laser whitening process. It’s the Wolrds #1 latest and most advanced whitening process available (Discus dental). This method treats individuals who want immediate results (without the trouble of home bleaching) In some cases, resistant tooth discoloration can only be corrected using a combination of the In-Office and At-Home bleaching techniques, to effectively whiten teeth. Patients usually see a dramatic shade improvement in less than 60 minutes and generally 60% of the tooth sensitivity that is sometimes associated with the at-home tooth bleaching is decreased. The quick, comfortable and effective method is also the safest, because of new advanced laser light system that is used. Our price is up to $400usd.Non Zoom Laser whitening is also available for: $250 (Takes 1 hour)

Dental veneers are custom-designed shells of tooth-like ceramic material that, when applied over the surface of a tooth, can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment, or spacing and chips or cracks. Dental veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Even better, the translucent ceramic quality of today's veneers provides a more natural look than what’s been available in the past.
The position of the affected teeth, and conditions of surounding teeth has a bearing on the complexity of the procedure.

One-Price for Porcelain over Metal Crowns including x-rays, temporaries, and build-ups if necessary. Because porcelain crowns cover your entire tooth, they often provide good solutions for severe problems i.e. a bad fracture, a large filling, a tooth that has had root canal treatment, and in situations where one or several teeth are missing. When teeth cannot be saved, dental implants and bridges are a great option to replace missing teeth.As with other techniques, crowns can correct a wide range of problems. They are durable and strong, so replacements are needed less often. The difference between crowns and laminates (or porcelain inlays) is that more tooth structure is removed. This is required to allow adequate space for the restorative material to have appropriate strength, esthetics… and healthy gum contour. The types of crowns that are commonly used are:1.Porcelain fused to metal quality. 2.Porcelain jacket crown 3.100% Porcelain and Art Glass.Porcelain

(for a bi-lateral) Val Plast or Teflon both w/o metal parts): (Depending on # of units) $800 - $1,500 (bi-lateral) A partial denture is a removable dental appliance supported by your natural teeth. It may be required where there are one or more missing teeth. Many options are available and often a partial denture is prescribed. A crown or bridge may be the preferred treatment and the Dentist will advise you on the best treatment for you. Partials can be uni-lateral or bi-lateral. They can be made traditionally with metal base, or with acrylic teeth and metal wires. They newest procedure is the Val Plast or Teflon which has the quality of being elastic and adjustable without the involvement of any metal parts. These are more aesthetically pleasing and of benefit to patients who resist having metal in their mouths.

An inlay is similar to a filling and lies inside the cusp tips of the tooth. They are custom-made to fit the prepared cavity and are then cemented into place. An onlay is a more extensive reconstruction that covers one or more cusps of a tooth. Onlays are indicated in situations where a substantial reconstruction is required. However, more of the tooth structure can be conserved compared to the placement of a crown

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone.If a tooth has been damaged by decay or a fracture, your dentist will try to repair it and restore it with a filling, crown or other treatment. Sometimes, though, the damage is too extensive for the tooth to be repaired. This is the most common reason for extracting a tooth. Here are other reasons for extraction:Some people have extra teeth that block other teeth from coming in. People undergoing orthodontic work may need teeth extracted to create room for the teeth that are being moved into place. People receiving radiation to the head and neck may need to have teeth in the field of radiation extracted. People receiving chemotherapy may develop infected teeth because chemotherapy weakens the immune system, increasing the risk of infection. These teeth may need to be extracted. People receiving an organ transplant may need some teeth extracted if the teeth are at risk of becoming sources of infection after the transplant, when immunosuppressive medications are given. Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, often are extracted either before or after they come in. They commonly come in during your late teen years or early twenties. Impacted teeth get stuck in the jaw and often need to be removed if they are decayed or cause pain. A wisdom tooth that has emerged partially may be blocked by other teeth or may not have enough room to come in completely. This can irritate th
