Professional whitening is considerably stronger than anything sold over the counter, and because we take impressions for custom trays, the gel stays on your teeth instead of irritating your gums.
Coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco staining respond particularly well. Whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings, so if you have restorations in your smile line we will plan the sequence with you first.
Thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front of the teeth, correcting colour, shape, size and minor alignment all at once. Veneers handle problems whitening cannot touch — permanent discolouration, chips, worn edges, small gaps, teeth that are slightly out of line.
This is a considered, irreversible treatment, so Dr. Boling will walk you through what is involved, what it costs and how long it lasts before anything begins.
Tooth-coloured composite sculpted directly onto the tooth and hardened with a curing light. It repairs chips, closes small gaps, reshapes an uneven edge and covers isolated stains.
Bonding is the quickest and most affordable cosmetic option: usually one visit, no laboratory, and little or no removal of natural tooth structure. For a single chipped front tooth it is often the right answer.
A coordinated plan rather than a single procedure. A makeover might combine whitening, veneers, bonding, new crowns, gum contouring and clear aligners — sequenced so each step sets up the next.
It starts with a conversation about what bothers you when you look in the mirror. From there Dr. Boling maps out the options, the order, the timeline and the cost, so you can decide how far you want to go. Many patients complete a makeover in stages over a year or two.
Cosmetic dentistry is elective. You should never feel sold to.
Dr. Boling will look at your smile and lay out the realistic options — timeline and cost included.
