VENEERS 
Veneers are custom made shells specially prepared to make your teeth look natural. They are affixed directly to the teeth and can be used to close small gaps between teeth, to improve slightly mis-aligned teeth and to improve the shape of teeth. Unlike bleaching, veneers will not change color over time.

IMPLANTS 
Implants are the most natural way to replace a tooth or many teeth.  Implants are surgically placed artificial tooth root replacements that serve as a foundation for a crown, bridge or denture.
