Tooth Whitening
Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. Looking to regain that beautiful white smile? Everyone would love to have a nice healthy looking white smile, but over time, the natural aging process and your lifestyle (smoking or drinking coffee, tea, or wine) can stain your teeth.

Dr. Aunon offers the Opalescence tooth whitening system.

Dental Veneers or "Laminates"
Porcelain veneers, dental porcelain laminates, are custom porcelain covers for your teeth. Veneers are a long term solution to changing the color of your teeth, to close spaces, straighten teeth and to restore broken, chipped or fractured teeth. Veneers are natural looking and strong.

Dr Aunon may use dental veneers for:

• Teeth that are discolored
• Teeth that are worn down
• Teeth that are chipped or broken
• Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped
• Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)

Tooth Colored Fillings or Bonding
Bonding is a technique used to adhere tooth colored material to your tooth/teeth. Bonding is most frequently used to close spaces (gaps) and change the color of your teeth.

Tooth colored fillings which are made from durable plastics called composite resins. Similar in color and texture to natural teeth, the fillings are less noticeable, and much more attractive, than other types of fillings. Tooth colored fillings are actually bonded to teeth compared to silver / amalgam fillings, which are not.
