Our Select Services

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, enhancing their appearance and correcting imperfections such as discoloration, chips, or gaps. Made from high-quality dental porcelain, these veneers mimic tooth enamel’s natural translucency and color, providing a realistic and attractive look.

They are durable and stain-resistant, offering a long-lasting solution for improving the aesthetics of your smile. With proper care, porcelain veneers can maintain their beauty and function for many years, making them a popular choice for those seeking a radiant, confident smile.

Full Arch Dental Implants

Full arch dental implants provide a comprehensive solution for individuals with multiple missing or severely damaged teeth. This innovative approach offers a stable foundation for a complete set of prosthetic teeth by strategically placing a few implants per arch.

Full arch implants restore nearly all your natural biting and chewing power, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without worry. They eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience associated with traditional dentures, providing a permanent and natural-looking solution for a complete, beautiful smile.

CEREC® Same-Day Restorations

CEREC same-day restorations offer a quick and efficient solution for repairing damaged teeth, providing patients with custom-made crowns in just one visit. A precise digital impression of your tooth is created using advanced digital imaging and computer-aided design.

This data is sent to an in-house milling machine, which crafts a bio-compatible porcelain crown tailored to fit perfectly. The process takes about an hour, allowing you to leave with a fully restored and functional tooth on the same day.
