Bonding

Composite bonding can be done to correct or improve the shape, color, and even spacing of teeth. Made from a tooth colored resin material, bonding won’t last as long as porcelain veneers, but typically costs less. Bonding, as with most cosmetic dental procedures, isn’t usually covered by dental insurance. A comprehensive exam and x-rays will be done prior to any cosmetic procedure to make sure the treatment is appropriate.

Veneers

Porcelain Veneers may be a great option for patients who wish to change or improve their smile. Veneers can sometimes be done in just one appointment, but may require two visits. Veneers, as with most cosmetic dental procedures, are typically not covered by dental insurance. They can correct spacing, position, shape, size, color, and more. Schedule your comprehensive exam and x-rays today, to find out if your a candidate for Veneers.

Cook Dentistry offers three teeth whitening options using the Venus Whitening System. The options provided by a dental office are typically much stronger than what individuals can purchase over the counter. The number one complaint with teeth whitening systems is increased tooth sensitivity during and shortly after using the product, but the Venus system has a built in desensitizing agent which significantly reduces this sensitivity for most people. Not everyone is a candidate for teeth whitening. For example, porcelain restorations like crowns and veneers will not whiten. With any whitening system results will vary, and a maintenance regimen is highly recommended!
