Cosmetic
Veneers
If you’re looking to cosmetically correct or enhance the appearance of one or more teeth, we suggest veneers. They are very thin, porcelain or resin shells that you can customize in color and shape. They are non-invasive and are resistant to future stains.
Common uses for veneers:
Chipped or broken teeth
Misshapen or irregular teeth
Teeth that do not respond to traditional whitening treatments
Discoloured teeth eg Fluorosis
Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is faster, more effective, and longer lasting that treatments you find over the counter. As we age, our teeth darken over time. We can brighten your teeth by five to ten shades in a single session, but maintaining good oral hygiene and steering away from certain foods and beverages will help keep any future whitening services to a minimum. We may also prescribe some medication for you to use at home that helps the whitening process.

Take home whitening(Special trays worn by patient at home)
Professional teeth whitening is faster, more effective, and longer lasting than over-the-counter treatments, helping to reverse the natural darkening of teeth that occurs with age. We can brighten your smile by five to ten shades in just a single in-office session. For at-home maintenance or augmentation, we provide patients with custom trays and a low-concentration bleaching gel, with instructions and a follow-up review scheduled after about two weeks. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding staining foods and beverages will help preserve your bright results.
