What is a Root Canal?

Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry aimed at creating a positive change to your teeth and to your smile.

Smile enhancement can have dramatic results on your overall appearance; even the smallest step can boost your confidence, self-esteem, and make you want to smile more.

With modern advances in dentistry, cosmetic procedures can range from a basic color correction to replacing missing teeth, and everything in between.
