Veneers

Patients who want to correct a number of chips, cracks, gaps, and stains in patients' smiles may want to consider porcelain veneers. In two short visits to our office, we can completely conceal any number of cosmetic flaws seamlessly. Veneers are thin sheaths of dental-grade porcelain that fit over the fronts of patients’ teeth. During an initial appointment, we remove a small amount of enamel from the front-facing surface of teeth, capture bite impressions used by our lab to craft the veneer and place a temporary restoration in order to protect teeth. Once we receive the final veneer, patients return to our practice to exchange the temporary for the custom veneer.
Lumineers

Patients interested in porcelain veneers who have concerns about the removal of tooth enamel or simply have less significant cosmetic flaws may want to consider Lumineers as an alternative. These ultrathin veneers allow our team to conceal cosmetic flaws similarly to traditional veneers without removing enamel prior to treatment. For this reason, patients are often able to reverse their Lumineers procedure if they change their minds. This thinner veneer material still offers patients durable, long-lasting results.
Metal-Free Crowns

Are you worried about how your smile will look after getting a dental crown? Nowadays, dark-colored metal isn’t your only option for repairing your teeth. You can also get a metal-free crown made out of zirconia, a material that closely matches the color and light-reflective properties of natural teeth. It’s an aesthetically friendly option that’s also very durable, so you’ll be able to take full advantage of your newly restored smile.
Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is the quicker, more affordable alternative to veneers. The procedure involves shaping a cosmetically damaged tooth with a small amount of composite resin, hiding chips, stains, and other flaws. While veneers are better suited for making extensive changes to the entire smile, cosmetic bonding is the treatment of choice for those who only need to make a few small corrections; it can be completed in just one visit, and the process can take a matter of minutes!
In-Practice Teeth Whitening

Many patients visit us every day who want to know how they can brighten their smiles, and all too often, these same patients have wasted time and money on over-the-counter whitening products that promise dramatic transformations they are unable to deliver. Professional teeth whitening offers patients safer, more predictable results. We offer both in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments. In-office whitening provides the fastest solution, but patients with sensitive teeth may struggle with this treatment. During a cosmetic dentistry consultation, Dr. Ganji helps patients determine whether in-office teeth whitening is the right solution. When patients choose the in-practice whitening option, we’re able to deliver results up to ten shades brighter in as little as one hour. Many patients are happy allowing our professionals to complete their whitening procedure, but for those who prefer whitening from the comfort of home, we offer custom at-home solutions as well.
At-Home Teeth Whitening

Unlike store-bought whitening products that use one-size-fits-all application trays and low levels of active whitening ingredients, our professional take-home whitening kits include custom-crafted application trays and professional-grade whiteners. For this reason, our at-home whitening kits make it possible for patients to achieve the same results as in-office whitening, teeth up to ten shades whiter, over the course of about two weeks of daily application. The process is simple. Patients place a small amount of whitening gel in each application tray. Then, the trays are worn for a predetermined amount of time, until patients achieve their desired results. Take-home whitening is also a great way to touch up the results of in-office whitening as they begin to diminish over time.
Gum Recontouring

Sometimes genetics can leave you with a “gummy” smile that makes your teeth look small. You might also have an uneven gum line that tends to draw the eye whenever you smile. We can correct cosmetic gum issues with gum recontouring; this simply involves removing a small fragment of gum tissue in carefully chosen areas. We can expose more of your smile and restore balance to your gumline so that you can show off your pearly whites without reservation.
Virtual Smile Design

What will your new smile look like once you’ve gotten veneers or completed gum recontouring? We can show you with our virtual smile design software, which alters pictures of your current smile to simulate the results of a number of cosmetic treatments. By using this technology to explore your options, you’ll have a clear visual of what the results of a given treatment will be so that you know what to expect moving forward.
