Fortunately, we offer a variety of teeth whitening treatments which can help you brighten your smile by several shades. During in-office bleaching, Dr. Porter will apply a whitening gel to your teeth and use a special LED light to activate the gel. Home whitening kids include trays filled with whitening gel, and can be used as your schedule allows.
< Learn More About Teeth WhiteningInlays and onlays are a conservative alternative to dental crowns. An inlay fits between the cusps of a tooth, while an onlay covers one or more of the cusps and can extend down the side of a tooth. Inlays and onlays are typically made of porcelain, and can be used to strengthen teeth, reduce sensitivity, and prevent further damage to a compromised tooth.
@ Contact Us For More InformationIf you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, it may be your your gums, rather than your teeth, that need attention. For patients who have a “gummy smile,” the gum line lies low on the front teeth, making them appear short and stubby. To correct this condition, Dr. Porter may suggest laser gum reshaping. During the procedure, a specialized laser seals tissue as it works, reducing bleeding, trauma, and recovery time.
