Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is one of the simplest ways to make a noticeable change in your smile. During this procedure, a tooth-colored resin, a type of durable plastic, is applied directly to the tooth and shaped by hand. A special light then hardens the material, bonding it securely to your natural tooth structure. Bonding can repair chips, close small gaps, and improve the shape or color of a tooth, often in a single visit with little to no discomfort.

Smile Makeovers

No one is born with a perfect smile. When you see someone with straight, bright, attractive teeth, there is a good chance a smile makeover played a role. A smile makeover is not one single treatment. It is a personalized plan that may combine several cosmetic dentistry services, such as bonding, whitening, or veneers, to address your specific concerns. Dr. Fouladi and Dr. Porrino take time to understand what bothers you about your smile before recommending a path forward.

Teeth Whitening Trays

There are many ways to brighten your smile, but Dr. Porrino often recommends custom whitening trays because of the results, the affordability, and the convenience of whitening from home. Because the trays are made specifically for your teeth, they distribute whitening gel evenly and help protect your gums, giving you a more consistent result than many over-the-counter options.

Teeth Whitening With Opalescence Go

If coffee, wine, soda, or smoking have left your teeth looking dull, or if you have a wedding, job interview, or class reunion coming up, Opalescence Go may be the right fit. These convenient, prefilled whitening trays require no custom fitting and deliver noticeable brightening with minimal preparation, making them a great option for patients who want fast, low-maintenance results.

Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells, typically porcelain, that bond to the front of your teeth to correct chips, discoloration, gaps, or uneven shapes all at once. Because each veneer is designed to match the size, shape, and shade you want, this treatment is one of the most versatile tools in cosmetic dentistry for creating a symmetrical, natural-looking smile that lasts for years with proper care.
