Teeth whitening is one of the most commonly requested dental treatments to rejuvenate a smile. Dentist-prescribed whitening is the safest and most effective way to brighten the color of the teeth and improve a smile. There are two methods to whiten teeth – one that is done by a dentist in a single appointment and one that is done at home over the course of two to three weeks.

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are a popular choice for patients looking to improve the size and shape of their teeth, close gaps between teeth, and restore heavily discolored teeth that are resistant to whitening. Veneers are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth.

Tooth contouring is a painless and subtle procedure that involves reshaping of the natural enamel of the teeth to improve their shape and symmetry. Tooth contouring, also called enameloplasty or odontoplasty, is used to even out chipped teeth, smoothen sharp or pointy edges, or shorten teeth that are unusually long.

Enamel microabrasion is a conservative procedure that removes superficial stains and discolorations from the tooth surface. Unlike teeth whitening, this microabrasion is a mechanical procedure that eliminates white or brown spots caused by fluorosis, decalcification around orthodontic brackets or stains from coffee, wine, or tobacco.
