Popular Cosmetic Options

Teeth Whitening

Lift stains from coffee, tea, wine, or aging to reveal a brighter smile. We’ll discuss in-office and take-home options and help you choose the best approach for your enamel and sensitivity level.

Porcelain Veneers

Ultra-thin, custom porcelain shells that cover the front of teeth to correct colour, shape, minor spacing, and small chips—often in just a few visits. Natural translucency and long-lasting results.

Tooth-Coloured (Composite) Bonding/Fillings

Aesthetic composite resin repairs chips, closes small gaps, reshapes edges, and replaces dark fillings—blended to match your enamel.

Porcelain Crowns (Caps)

When a tooth is worn, cracked, or has a large filling, a porcelain crown restores strength and appearance with natural colour and contour.

Porcelain Fixed Bridges

A time-tested way to replace a missing tooth using porcelain teeth anchored to neighbouring teeth for a seamless smile.

Longevity & Care
