Teeth Whitening
Just like we all have different hair and skin color, people also have different colors of teeth. Some teeth are more yellow, grey, orange or brown than others, while others get that with time. Your natural tooth color can also be affected by many factors such as:
Using tobacco products
Drinking coffee, tea, soda, or red wine
Eating pigmented foods such as pasta, cherries, blueberries, curry, etc
Buildup of plaque and tartar deposits
Irregular formation of tooth structure
Trauma to a tooth causing brown or black discoloration
There are many reasons for whitening your teeth, including:
The boost to your confidence and self-esteem that comes from a great smile
A younger appearance
A special event such as a wedding, job interview or class reunion
To make a positive first impression on others
To simply reverse years of everyday staining and yellowing

Veneers
Your smile is one of the first things someone notices about you! If you have chipped, discolored or rotated teeth you may not like how your smile looks. That is where dental veneers can help enhance your smile.
Veneers are thin porcelain or composite resin coverings that are bonded to the front surface of a tooth used to correct tooth imperfections, such as stained or chipped teeth. Dental veneers are a good option for addressing a variety of physical and esthetic concerns with your teeth.
Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for enhancing your smile because the color and translucency of porcelain is a great match for the natural appearance of tooth enamel. Porcelain is also stain resistant, so your smile will stay bright for years to come. Much like with crowns or bridges, veneers are a two-visit process. This allows a trained lab technician to carefully sculpt your veneers to perfectly match the smile you’re looking to achieve.
Resin veneers are an alternative to porcelain, and can also enhance your smile. These are typically done in one visit. Although resin veneers can achieve amazing results, they typically aren’t as strong or stain resistant as porcelain veneers and may need to be refreshed or replaced after multiple years of wear and tear. Either way, you can achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you will love to show off.
