Brighten your smile in the comfort of your own home with take-home teeth whitening options. You’ll receive a custom whitening tray to use with a special whitening gel. Depending on your target shade, you’ll wear your whitening tray for a little while every day for 1-2 weeks. Take-home whitening gradually brightens your smile for a more subtle transformation that is ideal for patients with sensitive teeth.
Laser whitening can provide you with dramatic results, brightening your teeth by several shades in a single visit. Dr. Dorsey will apply a powerful whitening product to your teeth while being careful to keep your lips and gums from coming into contact with the solution. Then, he will use a laser to activate the whitening agent, speeding up and enhancing the process. Laser whitening is perfect for patients who are looking for instant results in preparation for a wedding, photoshoot, or other special event.
If you have misaligned teeth, but don’t want to deal with uncomfortable metal braces, Invisalign clear aligner therapy may be right for you. Utilizing a series of clear aligners that are virtually invisible while being worn, you can get the beautifully straight smile of your dreams, often in less time than with traditional braces.
Dental bonding is a fast, completely non-invasive treatment that can transform your smile by filling small gaps, chips, or cracks. A special dental resin will be color-matched to your smile and applied to the misshapen teeth. Then, Dr. Dorsey will carefully sculpt the resin into the target shape before using a UV light to cure, or harden, the resin. Enameloplasty, or shaping & contouring, is often used in tandem with dental bonding to achieve the desired results. The procedure involves removing small amounts of enamel to help reshape uneven, chipped, or sharp teeth.
Veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-colored sheets made from durable porcelain that are affixed to the front of your teeth to cover up stains, minor chips, cracks, and gaps, and are able to completely transform your smile. To place veneers, about 0.5mm of enamel will be removed from your teeth to ensure the veneers don’t protrude in any way, so they blend seamlessly with the rest of your grin. This makes them an irreversible procedure, so Dr. Dorsey will help you decide if veneers are right for you.
When you think of Botox, you likely think about how it is used to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. However, it can be used for so much more! From reducing the appearance of gummy smiles to therapeutic applications, Botox therapy can help you get your smile back.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD) affect the jaw, and can result in jaw pain, clicking or popping noises, and even migraines. Botox has been shown to minimize the effects of TMJ/TMD, and works by paralyzing specific muscles, forcing them to relax so your jaw can recover.
Bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching, can lead to a variety of issues, including TMJ pain, and can even result in worn down, cracked, or chipped teeth. Teeth grinding and jaw clenching usually occurs at night while you’re asleep, making it an unconscious behavior. Botox helps facial muscles relax, minimizing the effects of Bruxism for months at a time.
If you’ve been missing teeth for a while, and are getting your first set of dentures, you will likely experience a period of discomfort as you adjust to your new smile. Botox therapy can help speed up this process by relaxing facial muscles, allowing them to become accustomed to the new prosthetic.

With proper care, porcelain veneers will assist in giving you your dream smile for at least a decade. We ensure that your veneers are made from the highest quality porcelain and bonded using state-of-the-art technology.
Most common veneer applications involve removing a fine layer of tooth enamel before applying the porcelain material, making room for a seamless fitting of the porcelain veneer and giving it the most natural appearance possible. Porcelain dental veneers can help adjust not just your tooth color, but also its size, shape, and spacing.

Composite resin veneers are a porcelain alternative derived from translucent resin and meticulously sculpted and hardened by your dentist, typically in a single appointment. If you have worn, chipped, or damaged teeth, composite resin can be directly sculpted onto the teeth for exponential results. This is a separate procedure from a dental crown, dental bridge, or dental fillings. While they use the same materials, composite veneers are more functional than aesthetic treatments.
They’re used to correct discolored, gapped, crooked, or misshapen teeth. The veneer is placed over the imperfect teeth and given the appearance of straight, white, radiant teeth.
Often referred to as “chair-side veneers,” composite veneers are designed by the dentist directly on your tooth, requiring a dentist’s technique combined with an artist’s eye. Typically, composite veneers can be placed in just one visit, but porcelain veneers usually require multiple visits before being placed.
During your appointment, with your input, your dentist will select and sculpt a shade directly onto your teeth to build a veneer that best fits your smile. Then, a high-intensity light will be used to harden the composite. Finally, the composite resin will be shined and polished until it blends in with the natural, healthy appearance of the rest of your smile.
This depends on several factors, including the patient’s home care routine and how often they attend checkups (we recommend twice a year, at least). If you maintain a strict and comprehensive routine, your composite resin veneers can last at least 5 years and as long as 10!
Their care requires the same care your natural teeth would require. Over time, they will be affected by darker liquids and hard objects such as ice and hard candy. Regular visits to the dentist every six months will increase the longevity of your veneers.
Composite veneers are a great alternative to porcelain and can right many of your smile’s wrongs. Customers also like them because they are not time-consuming or pricey, they are minimally invasive, and because they give your teeth that lifelike sheen they once had!
Dental composite resin is a special material that is applied and sculpted to the tooth. Once the optimal tooth shape has been achieved, it is cured with a special light and subsequently polished.
Composite materials are extremely advanced and are continuously being developed to produce better results for patients.
Composite veneers are a relatively new dental procedure, favored by recent dental generations interested in conserving the underlying tooth structure.
