Here are a few of our favorite fast, visible smile fixes that can often be done in just one visit. They may even be covered by your insurance if there’s decay or damage involved.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Small chips, cracks, or cavities don’t just affect your tooth’s health, they can also change how your smile looks. Tooth-colored fillings are made from a durable, natural-looking resin that blends right in with your enamel. The process is quick, comfortable, and usually covered by insurance when restoring a decayed or damaged tooth.

Dental Bonding

We use a tooth-colored resin to shape, smooth, and restore your tooth’s appearance. It’s non-invasive, often doesn’t need anesthesia, and can be completed in a single appointment.

Polishing & Whitening

Even a professional cleaning and polish can make your smile noticeably brighter. For deeper stains or special occasions, we also offer in-office whitening treatments that can lighten your teeth by several shades in about an hour. Whitening is considered cosmetic, but it’s a great finishing touch after your preventive or restorative care.
