In the past, teeth were most commonly repaired with amalgam (silver) fillings or gold restorations, but most people don't want silver fillings that show when they laugh or smile because they are more conscious about the way they look. Thanks to advances in modern dental materials and techniques, your teeth can be restored with a more aesthetic and natural appearance.

Rather than using ugly silver fillings, which ultimately weaken back teeth, we use tooth colored resin fillings. These restorations are strong, minimize the amount of tooth which must be ground away, and look natural and incredible, as can be seen in these pictures below.

If you want a smile that's your crowning glory, you may need a crown to cover a tooth and restore it to its normal shape and size. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance.

Crown can cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't enough tooth left as shown in the image below. This procedure also strengthens the teeth and restores the natural look of the teeth.

A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that's already broken. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. It's also used to cover a dental implant.

Dr. Kumar's primary concern, like yours, is helping you keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright -- literally, your crowning glory.

There's no reason to put up with gaps in your teeth or with teeth that are stained, badly shaped or crooked. Today a veneer placed on top of your tooth can correct nature's mistake or the results of an injury and help you have a beautiful smile.

Porcelain veneers are thin, semi-transparent porcelain "outer-shells" that are bonded to your teeth. We use veneers as a cosmetic treatment for various dental problems such as broken or fractured teeth, gaps and spaces between teeth, crooked and misshapen teeth, unsightly old fillings, and yellow, discolored, or permanently stained teeth.

LUMINEERS is the painless, permanent cosmetic solution for stained, chipped, discolored or misaligned teeth. Unlike imitators, LUMINEERS™ made of patented Cerinate© porcelain, is the only veneer system backed by over 20 years of clinical success that allows you the option of no-prep placement. LUMINEERS ^®BY CERINATE ^®are porcelain veneers that offer the painless way to a permanently whiter and perfectly aligned smile.

LUMINEERS are contact lens-thin and are placed over existing teeth without having to remove painful tooth structure (unlike traditional veneers). Dr. Kumar can apply these contact lens-thin "smile shapers" to teeth without any grinding or shaving, transforming teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual. Since your tooth structure is still intact it is completely reversible. LUMINEERS can even be placed over existing crown or bridgework without having to replace them.

Our veneers precisely match the color and contour of your teeth to give you a healthy, natural and beautiful smile.

Everybody loves a bright white smile. Many people are satisfied with the sparkle they get from brushing twice daily with a fluoride-containing toothpaste, cleaning between their teeth once a day and the regular cleanings at the dentist’s office. If you decide you would like to go beyond this to make your smile look brighter, call us for a free consultation. We will work with you to provide you a uniform shade of white that you prefer.

EASIER - The new zoom2 advanced optical guidance system ensures quick, precise patient set-up for optimal results.

The property Zoom2 gel works due to the “photo-fenton”
reaction of peroxide H2O2 and iron Fe3
The peroxide reacts with the iron to produce hydroxyl radicals – “stain terminators”
A light reaction cyclically renews the iron so it can continue to
produce hydroxyl radicals – more effectively whitening teeth

Opalescence^® was the first ADA accepted, syringe delivered, take-home bleaching gel. The patient places bleaching gel into the tray and the tray is then worn for multiple hours a day (or else overnight), for some weeks, as the effects of the whitening process take place. This technique utilizes a plastic tray that has been fabricated so to fit comfortably over a person's teeth. The patented formula has unique sticky and adhesive properties, which produce whitening results in days rather than weeks.

The active ingredient in Opalescence is carbamide peroxide. It also consists of fluoride and potassium nitrate, which are added to reduce tooth sensitivity. The safety and effectiveness of Opalescence bleaching gel is unsurpassed.

The Opalescence® whitening system has been shown to be effective for removing some or all of the internal tooth discoloration due to congenital, systemic, pharmacologic, traumatic factors and aging. It has also proven effective with fluorosis and tetracycline staining.
