Cosmetic Dentistry
Patients seeking cosmetic dental services in Durham, NC can improve their smile’s appearance with personalized treatment options. We use these services to change the shape, alignment, and shade of your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile while still supporting good oral health. These treatments can help you feel more confident when you smile, talk, and interact with others.
- Porcelain Veneers: Our dental veneers are shells made of porcelain that cover the front of teeth that need cosmetic repair. Veneers can cover small tooth gaps, stains, and cracked or chipped teeth. Porcelain veneers are often a more long-lasting treatment than bonding.
- Dental Bonding: Tooth bonding uses uses a tooth-colored, biocompatible material to repair chips, cracks, and other minor cosmetic concerns. We can color-match it to the affected tooth or teeth. Our office can bond one or more teeth to create a brighter and straighter smile.
- Teeth Whitening: Try professional teeth whitening if you have yellowed, stained, or discolored teeth. We can brighten your teeth to match your desired tooth shade. You can choose from in-office anad take-home options.

Our general dental care services help prevent dental concerns from developing into larger problems. Routine exams, cleanings, and preventive treatments help keep your teeth and gums healthy over time. By staying proactive, we can protect your smile and reduce the need for more complex dental care in the future.
- Custom Sports Mouthguard: Our custom sports mouthguards protect the teeth and gums from injury during contact sports. Each mouthguard is made to fit your smile comfortably, which helps it stay in place while you play. Custom mouthguards offer better protection than store-bought options and can help prevent serious dental injuries.
- Emergency Dentistry: Contact our office for immediate emergency dentistry care. We treat dental emergencies, including tooth loss, toothaches, excessive bleeding, and broken dental restorations. Our team can help if you have a broken tooth, just lost a tooth, or have tooth pain.
- Family Dentistry: We serve children, teens, adults, and seniors. Our dental team works with parents and their kids to teach them how to maintain their smiles. Family dentistry allows us to serve patients of all ages under one roof.
- Tooth Extraction: Sometimes we need to remove infected or impacted teeth for the health of the surrounding teeth and gums. We use a local anesthetic so you feel comfortable during your tooth extraction treatment.
Restorative Dentistry
We provide restorative dental care in our office to address mouth damage, dental trauma, gum infection, and tooth loss. Restorative care can help address issues caused by dental trauma, gum infection, decay, or missing teeth. We want you to your smile so you can chew comfortably, speak clearly, and feel confident again.
- Dental Bridge: A dental bridge is a restoration for one or more consecutive missing teeth. Although dental bridges may be fixed or removable, we recommend fixed bridges for a longer-lasting restoration. Bridges fill gaps left in your mouth for a more stable bite.
- Dental Crown: Tooth crowns cap off damaged teeth or dental crowns for a natural look. Made of porcelain ceramic, crowns blend in with the color of natural teeth. Crowns are a stable and strong option to protect teeth from further damage.
- Full and Partial Dentures: We recommend dentures to patients with rows or arches of missing teeth. Implant-secured dentures are longer-lasting and more durable than removable dentures, which require snaps or adhesives and don’t fully retain the bite.
- Gum Disease Treatment: Gum disease can cause gum pain, bleeding gums, and tooth loss. Our team can help reverse gum infection and prevent gum recession with professional periodontal disease treatment. A deep cleaning can remove harmful bacteria from the gums and tooth roots.
