Changing how your teeth look? Start with the options.

Veneers

Thin covers bonded to the front of your teeth to change their shape, color or spacing. It starts with an exam and a talk with your dentist about whether veneers, whitening or a filling fits what you want.

Will my plan pay for any part of it? We check your PPO benefits before you decide.
Teeth Whitening

Whitening done at our office, after a checkup so we can see your teeth first. We talk about sensitivity and any crowns or fillings you already have before we start.

Does insurance cover it? We look at your plan with you and tell you the cost first.
