Achieve a beautiful, natural smile with this minimally invasive and rejuvenating alternative to crowns and porcelain veneers. BioClear® is a unique method that utilizes dental composite to literally shrink-wrap your tooth with little or no drilling. As we age, some of us may begin to notice dark spaces between our teeth and gums. Many factors can cause these spaces to form, such as bone loss and movement of the teeth. Although this does not harm our teeth, it can make our smile look older and less healthy, as well as trap food. BioClear® can be used to fill these gaps, creating a more youthful smile. The tooth-colored composite material is molded around the decaying, worn, or damaged tooth in patented ultra-thin clear shapes that slide easily between the teeth and between the tooth and gums. That means BioClear® doesn’t require the dentist to grind away some or most of your tooth the way getting porcelain crowns or veneers would have.

Here’s a few ways BioClear® can help with your smile:

  • Repairing Damaged or Worn Down Teeth
  • Treating the Gaps Between Teeth Referred to as Black Triangle
  • Smile Design for a Younger Looking Smile
  • Diastema Closure
  • Peg Lateral Restoration

Teeth whitening procedures are used to brighten the appearance of a patient’s smile – sometimes by as many as 5 to 10 shades in a single session. According to the American Dental Association, teeth whitening procedures have become some of the most popular esthetic dental treatments among patients. Professional teeth whitening services can be performed in an office setting or taken home for use by a patient. In comparison to over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments, professional teeth whitening uses stronger whitening agents that deliver faster and more effective results.

Did you know…

 Teeth naturally darken as we age? Furthermore, certain foods, beverages, medications and certain daily activities can contribute to a darker, yellower, stained smile. However, it is possible to remove years of stains and dis-coloration in a single professional whitening session and sustain those results for many years with proper maintenance. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, professional whitening is best maintained by a combination of good oral care and take-home whitening treatments as recommended by your dentist.

Porcelain veneers help give our patients the smile they’ve always dreamed of having. We provide custom-made porcelain veneers that can transform the shape and color of our patient’s teeth, exuding the look of vitality and confidence. Just two appointments can change the way our patients experience life – all thanks to a thin, translucent exterior shell placed on top of the surface of the teeth.

Veneers have long been used for cosmetic purposes among people who are unhappy with the natural appearance of their smiles. Porcelain veneers can provide greater symmetry to the face, reshape chipped, broken or misaligned teeth, and help our patients achieve a brighter, whiter smile than is possible with traditional teeth whitening.

Ceramic veneers are bonded to the teeth and require minimal preparation to the teeth.  Their translucent appearance provides life-like esthetics, while their strength allows them to stand up to the demands of everyday use.

Porcelain veneers are unlikely to stain and are resistant to fracture when well cared for. They tend to last for many years, and even decades before needing to be replaced.

Pinhole Procedure (Gum Rejuvenation)

The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST®)., is a scalpel-free, suture-free procedure for the treatment of gum recession.

This procedure is performed by making a small access in the gum tissue. Using specially designed instruments, the gum tissue is loosened and guided over the receded parts of the teeth. Once the tissue is loosened and positioned over the receded areas, tiny collagen strips are inserted into the access to hold the gum tissue in position.  Since there is no incision or suturing, patients can expect minimal post-operative symptoms (pain, swelling and bleeding). Most patients also are pleasantly surprised by the instant cosmetic improvement.
