Frequent Questions

Are you happy with your smile? Would you like your teeth to look whiter or straighter? Are your teeth separated? Would you like your teeth to show more when you smile or talk? Do you grind your teeth while sleeping or during the day, causing them to wear down or break? Do your teeth look short or small? Do you see a dark line around your crowns? Do you avoid smiling in photos? If you are a man, did you grow a mustache because you don't like your smile?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, dental aesthetics is for you.

Many people are unhappy with the color of their teeth. Tooth enamel is a tissue where pigments from tea, coffee, mate, cola drinks, strawberries, cigarettes and red wine are deposited.

There are two types of veneers. At our Center we place veneers directly on the tooth without needing to wear it down. They are shaped directly on the tooth surface.
