Comparing tooth shades for a whitening treatment

Teeth Whitening

Enhancing your overall appearance can be as simple as whitening your teeth. Whiter, brighter teeth can often make you look years younger, and professional whitening is a non-invasive but effective way to achieve whiter teeth. We provide professional take-home whitening trays that will lighten your teeth several shades in just two weeks! This professional whitening treatment can effectively remove stains caused by:

Aging
Darkly pigmented food and drink
Fluorosis
Tobacco use
Medication

Our custom whitening trays are created using impressions of your teeth for the most comfortable fit possible.

Porcelain veneer being fitted to a tooth

Veneers

Veneers are thin “shells”, typically made out of porcelain, bonded to the front surface of the teeth to cover small imperfections. The use of porcelain allows veneers to perfectly match the natural color of the teeth, and it is strong enough to withstand the forces teeth are subject to during typical eating and chewing. Veneers can be used to fix a variety of dental imperfections, including:

Misshapen or uneven teeth
Gaps between teeth
Chips, cracks, or excessive wear in teeth
Discoloration that cannot be corrected using other professional whitening treatments

This procedure typically requires two or three appointments at Dr. Sullivan’s office to prepare and place your custom veneers. A small amount of enamel is removed to help the veneers sit in line with the other teeth, leaving a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

Bioclear

Unlike traditional porcelain veneers, the Bioclear Method is non-invasive and reversible. Dental composite is wrapped around a tooth, leaving it fuller, stronger, and more beautiful, with little to no damage done to the natural tooth. This makes the Bioclear Method more repairable and often less expensive than porcelain veneers. Bioclear serves to fix a variety of dental issues, including:

Chipped, worn, and broken teeth
Black triangles between teeth
Spaces between teeth
Naturally small teeth

The Bioclear Method is a revolutionary new technique to correct minor cosmetic issues, such as those listed above, without damaging the natural teeth. Bioclear brings new dimension to the aesthetics and function of your smile.
