All-Porcelain Dental Work
For natural, beautiful, healthy looking teeth nothing compares to all-porcelain veneers or crowns.
Whether it is a veneer or an all-porcelain crown, the look, durability and cost are the same, as is the result, of a beautiful custom tailored smile.
Dr. DeLopez will check the condition and position of the teeth that are being restored to determine which porcelain restoration will be best for you.

Veneers
Can you imagine having beautiful, straight teeth without wearing braces?
Porcelain veneers, when bonded to your teeth, are strong, beautiful and natural looking.
In the hands of a skilled cosmetic dentist like Dr. DeLopez, veneers can be used to close gaps, change color and even properly align your teeth - all without braces!
Veneers are conservative dentistry that can make dramatic changes in your smile.

Crowns
When your tooth has more filling than tooth or is badly broken, it's time for a crown.
Crowns are protective covers that preserve your tooth.
Dr. DeLopez creates all porcelain crowns and crowns from gold and porcelain, which mimic the natural beauty of teeth.
All porcelain crowns, which are translucent, offer maximum aesthetics while the porcelain-gold crowns provide maximum durability.

All-Porcelain Crowns
When teeth in the front of your mouth break or have large stained fillings. They can be restored to a state of natural beauty with all-porcelain crowns.
These crowns are not only indistinguishable from natural teeth, but are also strong and durable.
Dr. DeLopez is an expert at matching new crowns to your existing teeth or at designing an entirely new smile to perfectly suit you. Each smile design is custom tailored for your individual personality and needs.
A smile makeover by Dr. DeLopez can be an incredible confidence booster. Most of our patients who have smile makeovers get compliments that they look younger and happier. Friends and coworkers rarely even know that the teeth that have changed; they just notice something different and comment that the person looks good.
Dental Implants
If you have a missing tooth, dental implants can fill the gap in your smile and restore your chewing and biting ability in a way that looks and feels natural.
Dental implants are anchored directly into your jawbone, just like natural teeth. A porcelain crown is attached to the metal anchor, and gums and bone grow in around it, making it nearly identical to a normal tooth.
Dr DeLopez refers his patients to an oral surgeon who will install the metal anchor. After the implantation, you will return to Dr DeLopez's office, where he will select a crown that perfectly matches the rest of your teeth and attach it to the anchor. Then you can say goodbye to the gap and hello to a more perfect smile!
Bridges
When teeth are lost a non-removable bridge can provide an undetectable, comfortable, durable replacement.
It is like growing a new tooth without the surgery and time required for implants.
In just a few weeks you can have a permanent replacement for that missing tooth and improve your appearance and chewing ability.
Say good-bye to spaces, loose partials and embarrassing situations - enjoy the comfort and confidence of a fixed bridge!
Tooth-Colored Restorations
Modern tooth-colored restorations are more than just a filling; they conserve teeth, maintain their strength, and often prevent you from needing crowns.
These state-of-the-art restorations help restore your oral health and are nearly undetectable.
Tooth Whitening
If you have stained or discolored teeth, we have just the thing to turn them into a bright, shining white smile.
Dr. DeLopez uses a powerful teeth whitening system to bleach away stains caused by coffee, food and cigarettes, as well as any other kind of discoloration, leaving your teeth up to ten shades whiter.
