When it comes to dental problems, gum recession is certainly not the first one that springs to mind.
However, most patients may experience receding gums at some point in their lifetime, and treatment is almost certainly necessary to prevent associated dental problems, such as decay, infection, and even tooth loss.

A great smile can be a sign of health, success, and happiness. Unfortunately, few of us are naturally blessed with teeth that have all the aspects of a beautiful smile.

Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry can help you create the smile of your dreams. Dental veneers are one of the most common options for covering defects and creating a perfect smile.
We offer a variety of different tools, techniques, and procedures to help you improve your smile, but one of our most popular is the use of no-prep dental veneers.
