Using the best, tested, and trusted dental materials and techniques cosmetic fillings have replaced the old traditional amalgam fillings.

Offering his in office ZOOM which is quick for fast results or he offers the home kits by ZOOM for patients that are less expensive and this maybe more convenient for the patient. It is important to remember the over the counter whiteners don’t work as well as the more powerful whiteners do in a dental office. Whitening solutions only work on natural teeth. Any existing crowns, fillings or veneers won’t be affected by the whitening solution. You might consider having some of your dental appliances replaced after your teeth are whitened.
Many of us dream of perfect teeth and Porcelain Veneers can make that dream come true. This amazing procedure are custom porcelain veneers.

Cosmetic dentistry is the dental specialty focused on optimizing the smile’s aesthetics. While some cosmetic dentistry interventions can also be used to stabilize the structure of damaged teeth, the primary objectives of this specialty are to enhance the appearance of the smile.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed on top of a tooth that has been severely compromised by a large cavity or an injury. Dental crowns can also be placed on unusually small teeth to make them look larger. Dental crowns can be made of metal, ceramics or porcelain fused with metal. Dr. Phillips will work to provide you with a dental crown that addresses both your aesthetic and structural concerns for your teeth.
A veneer is a thin, tooth-shaped shell typically made of porcelain that can hide flaws like stains or chips in your teeth. Additionally, Dr. Phillips can use veneers to make an undersized tooth look proportionate to its neighbors or even “straighten” a slightly crooked tooth. Because veneers are made of porcelain, which looks quite similar to biological tooth enamel, this treatment results in a natural appearance. Veneers are customized, so they can be specifically designed to match the rest of your smile.
Pre-existing tooth sensitivity doesn’t automatically rule you out as a candidate for teeth whitening treatments. However, teeth whitening treatments can result in increased tooth sensitivity as a side effect, so if we know that you are already susceptible to this issue, we should plan carefully for your treatment. Dr. Phillips will work closely with you to take steps to minimize the risk of sensitivity, such as recommending a toothpaste specially formulated for sensitive teeth or spacing out follow-up treatments to reduce sensitivity.
