Veneers
These ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain laminates are bonded directly to your teeth. A great option for closing gaps or disguising discolored teeth that do not respond well to whitening procedures. Our dental veneers are made from the highest quality porcelain and crafted by a trained and certified dental technician. In most cases Veneers require just two visits to complete, with little or no anesthesia required during the procedure.

Enamel Shaping
This simple, painless process done by our cosmetic dentist gently reshapes to improve the appearance of the tooth. It’s used to correct small chips and smoothes the surface of the tooth.
Contouring
Contouring is an instant treatment to correct crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth and even overlapping teeth in just one session. The dental contouring procedure can sometimes be a substitute for braces.
Bonding
This process uses an enamel-like dental composite material and is applied directly to the tooth’s surface. Dr. Meden will sculpt, shape, harden and polish the composite creating a new surface that enhances your smile without discomfort or irritation.
Crowns
A crown is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
There are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is used to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. This prosthetic is placed between two porcelain crowns that are attached to your own teeth. Dr. Meden has many options to fit your unique dental and cosmetic needs. We offer fixed bridges, a permanent solution to replace one or more missing teeth and cantilever bridges, to correct teeth in your smile line. A bridge will look and feel like your own teeth and can reduce your risk of gum disease, correct bite issues and even improve your speech. With a commitment to consistent oral hygiene your bridge will last ten years or more.

There are people that have straight teeth, but feel that their smile shows excessive gum line. Dr. Meden can raise and sculpt your gum line to achieve the appearance of longer or more symmetrical teeth. Gum tissue heals quickly and with little discomfort. This procedure can make an incredible difference in your smile.
Smile Lift and Bite Reclamation
