Teeth Whitening
Have your teeth lost their natural, clean and bright appeal? You're not alone. In fact, it's a natural process caused by some of the things we drink and eat, as well as our individual oral hygiene habits. Luckily, a whitening procedure may be all you need to restore your natural smile.
From one single unmatched tooth to your entire set, teeth whitening is a safe – and in most cases effective – way to brighten stained or discolored teeth. Goodman & West uses a variety of bleaching products that contain peroxides to whiten and brighten. Depending on your specific situation and the condition of your teeth, results can vary from slightly brighter to several shades.

Porcelain Veneers
Looking for instant orthodontics, without the hassle of braces? Porcelain Veneers may be the solution for you. They're a great way to straighten crooked teeth and close gaps/spaces. They can even be used to fix broken or chipped teeth, whiten permanently stained or discolored teeth, and fix unsightly stained fillings.
How do they work? Basically, veneers are extremely thin porcelain plates that are permanently bonded to your teeth. After an initial visit to create an exact replica of your teeth used to fabricate the veneers, your teeth are conditioned with a solution that creates a perfectly clean surface for optimal bonding strength. The veneers are then bonded into place individually. A tooth-colored material is used to achieve the highest quality aesthetics, with a natural and healthy look.
Porcelain Veneers aren't for everyone – but they may be right for you. If you're like many of the patients we treat, the smile you've always wanted may be just a couple of visits away. Contact us for additional information on Porcelain Veneers, or to find out if you might be a candidate.
Bonding
Dental bonding is another alternative to orthodontics. In fact, in many cases, dental bonding can solve many cosmetic issues at an affordable price. Here's how it works.
Dental bonding places a special composite on your teeth that adheres to and blends in with your existing enamel. Strategically applying the tooth bonding material can fix stained, gapped, chipped or misaligned teeth – providing you with a reshaped and refreshed smile. To ensure a natural look, the bonding material is colored to match your teeth. If you're unhappy with the current color of your teeth, you may consider teeth whitening at the same time the bonding is done.
Dental bonding can be a long-term solution – but not permanent. How long the bonding lasts depends on your oral habits, but many patients will go years without a treatment.
