Porcelain Dental Veneers

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells of dental ceramic—often no thicker than a contact lens—that are securely bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. Veneers provide a transformative aesthetic solution to mask persistent discoloration, correct minor shape irregularities, and close unwanted gaps or spacing between teeth.

Porcelain Dental Crowns

Thanks to remarkable advancements in dental ceramics, modern porcelain crowns offer life-like translucency and vitality that mimic natural tooth enamel. Porcelain crowns are recommended when a tooth requires substantial structural support—such as after treating deep decay, severe cracking, grinding wear, trauma, or root canal therapy—delivering both durability and a natural, youthful appearance.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is a conservative approach that utilizes tooth-colored composite resin to repair, reshape, or enhance one or more teeth with minimal alteration to your natural enamel. While bonding offers a quick, single-visit solution, composite resin can absorb surface stains over time from dark beverages like coffee or tea, requiring occasional maintenance.

Gummy Smile Correction (Esthetic Crown Lengthening)

If your teeth appear short or your smile shows an excessive amount of gum tissue, your teeth may actually be the ideal length beneath the gumline. Through esthetic crown lengthening, Dr. Don B. Ruhnke, DDS gently reshapes the gum tissue and underlying bone structure to expose more of your natural tooth and create a balanced, symmetrical gumline.
