Teeth whitening is a non-invasive and conservative approach to creating a whiter and brighter smile. It is not uncommon for teeth to become darker and stained due to natural aging, poor hygiene, genetics, or dark foods and beverages. Teeth whitening is fast, simple, and affordable with quick and predictable results.

Teeth whitening is available as an in-office treatment and take-home treatment. Both procedures start with a consultation to determine if you're an ideal candidate for bleaching. These systems have been engineered using a unique mix of ingredients to:

• Promote strong enamel
• Minimize tooth sensitivity
• Provide great results with quick treatment times

Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that can restore the structure and appearance of chipped, stained, or cracked teeth. Veneers are bonded to the front area of your teeth to improve their size, shape, color, and length. Porcelain and composite veneers address a myriad of cosmetic dental issues such as:

• Chips
• Cracks
• Discoloration
• Misshapen teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Misalignment

If you have misaligned teeth but would rather avoid traditional metal braces, Invisalign may be the perfect option for you. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are nearly invisible. The removable aligners are customized to fit your teeth. They gradually apply gentle pressure to straighten and correct your teeth into a smile you'll be proud of.

Because Invisalign aligners are removable, there's no need to modify your eating, drinking, flossing, or brushing habits. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks until you've achieved the intended results. The Invisalign system works well for responsible teens and adults and typically takes less time than traditional braces.

Dental bonding is a treatment that uses tooth-colored resin or composites. The tooth-colored materials are bonded to the tooth surface, allowing you to have a more attractive smile without the need for crowns. Bonding can be used to:

• Repair and strengthen chipped, broken, or damaged teeth
• Close unattractive gaps and spaces
• Replace old metal restorations
• Enhance the shape or size of a tooth
• Improve the appearance of stained surfaces
• Fill small cavities

If you have a “gummy” smile and your gums are overly visible, you may be a good candidate for gingival recontouring or crown lengthening. Gingival recontouring is the process of reshaping gum tissue, exposing more of the natural tooth surface. This makes the crown of your teeth look longer and creates a more symmetrical appearance.

The end result is a glowing smile that is well balanced and proportional. Before the procedure, Dr. Vora will work with you to determine the right gum-to-tooth ratio to ensure we shape your gums according to your wishes.
