Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are among the most transformative cosmetic dentistry treatments available. Veneers are tiny, tooth-colored porcelain shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth, completely concealing flaws such as misalignment, discoloration, chips, and misshapen teeth. Once in place, veneers provide the appearance of a brand new smile, in just a couple of weeks! It is no wonder that porcelain veneers are considered the ultimate smile makeover option.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
The benefits of porcelain veneers are numerous. No two smiles treated with veneers are alike, since veneers are custom-crafted to match a patient's unique facial characteristics. For patients whose teeth are misaligned, veneers can provide a balanced-looking result without the time commitment of Invisalign® or traditional orthodontics. Veneers are crafted of dental-grade porcelain, so they are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. With proper upkeep, veneers can last many years.
Porcelain Veneers Placement
The placement of porcelain veneers usually requires just two visits to our office: one in which Dr. Carnazza designs the tooth structure to accommodate the veneers, and a second in which he bonds the veneers to the teeth with esthetic, permanent cement. He uses a local anesthetic to keep the patient comfortable throughout the placement process (sedation dentistry may also be an option). In just two relatively quick office visits, a patient can enjoy a stunning new smile.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to dramatically improve your smile. Professional whitening systems can lighten your smile by up to ten shades, bleaching away stains caused by red wine, coffee, tea, certain medications, the effects of aging, and other factors. Depending on your needs and preferences, you can usually choose from in-office whitening (which whitens the teeth in about an hour) or at-home whitening (which usually provides results in about two weeks). Although teeth whitening provides incredible results on its own, many patients choose to whiten their teeth as a complement to other treatments such as porcelain veneers and Invisalign®.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening involves the application of a professional-strength whitening gel to the teeth. The gel is either activated with a special laser (in-office whitening) or left on the teeth overnight in teeth-whitening trays (at-home whitening). Whitening gels are carefully formulated to eliminate stains without harming the enamel or causing excessive tooth or gum sensitivity.

Invisalign®
For patients with minor orthodontic problems, Invisalign® can be an excellent solution. The Invisalign® system uses a series of clear, plastic aligners to gradually move the teeth into alignment. Unlike traditional braces, the trays are comfortable, virtually invisible, and removable.
