When the patient returns for placement of permanent veneers, they are bonded into place, and becomes a natural part of the existing tooth. The teeth are strong, bright and beautiful.

Veneers can be used to close spaces between teeth, straighten teeth, and cover dark teeth to appear whiter.

Crowns

Gregory Family Dental's crowns are specially designed to be strong and beautiful. When a tooth is severely discolored, chipped or broken, fillings are typically not enough to restore a tooth to proper function. In this case, a crown must be placed on a tooth. A good crown will protect your teeth, and allow you to eat properly. Crowns in the front of your mouth will help make your smile brighter and more attractive.

Crowns can fix a tooth that has been chipped or damaged to the point that fillings can't solve the problem.

The second way of whitening teeth relies on trays and whitening gel. Even though you may see results the next day, it typically takes 7-10 days to get the results you desire. The advantage to this technique over the store-bought solution is that our trays are customized to fit your mouth, allowing for a more effective and comfortable whitening experience.

Bonding

Bonding is a technique of layering a dental material called composite on your front teeth in order to correct any cracks. The teeth are conditioned and the dentist scuplts the material onto the teeth. The material is then activated by a specialized curing light. The bonding is then further polished and sculpted by Dr. McLaurian until they are ready to add to a beautiful smile.
