Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, bonding, and full smile redesigns.
Professional whitening
We offer two whitening protocols. In-office whitening is done in a single 90-minute visit and produces immediate results. Take-home whitening uses custom trays and concentrated gel worn nightly for two weeks. Both protocols are dentist-supervised with minimal sensitivity.
Composite bonding
Composite bonding reshapes teeth using hand-sculpted tooth-colored resin. We use it to close small gaps, repair chips, lengthen short teeth, and balance asymmetries. Bonding is minimally invasive, usually done in a single visit, and lasts 7 to 10 years with proper care.
Full smile redesign
For patients who want a comprehensive cosmetic change, we combine orthodontics, whitening, bonding, veneers, and crowns into one coordinated plan. Every case begins with a smile study, a wax-up of the projected outcome, and a trial smile you can see in your mouth before any treatment is committed.
When bonding is better than veneers
For single-tooth repairs, small gaps, and patients who want to try a cosmetic change before committing to porcelain, bonding is often the better tool. It is reversible, dramatically less expensive, and ideal for patients under 30 whose enamel we want to preserve.

How it plays out in practice.
Situation · Small gap between upper front teeth. Minor chip on one central incisor.
Outcome · Composite bonding, single visit, 90 minutes. Total cost: $1,200. Expected to last 8 to 10 years.
Situation · Years of coffee and red wine staining. No interest in veneers or bonding.
Outcome · Combined in-office and take-home whitening protocol. 6 shades lighter in 3 weeks.
Will whitening damage my enamel?
Professional whitening under dentist supervision does not damage enamel. Over-the-counter strips and unregulated whitening kits can cause damage. Our protocols use pharmaceutical-grade gel with strict time and sensitivity management.
How long does composite bonding last?
With proper care, composite bonding lasts 7 to 10 years. Unlike porcelain, it can stain over time and may need polishing. It is a great entry-level cosmetic treatment and an ideal test before committing to veneers.
