Making Smiles Happen

Do you have a space between your front teeth? In dental lingo, this is called a "diastema" and this is very common.

Did you know that there is an easy procedure, that we call "Instant Ortho", that can eliminate this gap? The procedure consists of using some bonding material (just like having a filling) to make the space disappear. The procedure is quick and so comfortable you may not even need any local anesthetic. Here are some before and after pictures:









Also, notice the reshaping of the lower teeth to make them even and straight.


Please feel free to call our office if this procedure would be of interest to you.

Did You Ever Wish for a Brighter Smile?


As a person ages, the adult teeth often become darker due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth whereby the enamel becomes less porous. Teeth can also become stained by bacterial pigments, foodstuffs, coffee, and tobacco. (see first picture)




Our practice is pleased to offer some great solutions to this problem. We offer bleaching programs to whiten your teeth. Call us today to hear about our programs and to discover which option is best for you.



These pictures show the actual results for a current patient after he recently used one of our bleaching programs. He is very pleased with his "bright" smile!! (see second picture)
