• Teeth Whitening
  

  Three in four Americans agree that no matter how nice a person’s smile is, yellow teeth ruin the effect according to a 2008 study by the American Dental Association, Crest and Oral B.   The great news is that you don’t have to live with yellow teeth.  Dr. Barras offers different teeth whitening or teeth bleaching procedures including Zoom Teeth Whitening.  Click to learn more about Zoom Teeth Whitening.

• Porcelain Veneers
  

  If you have gaps in your teeth, broken teeth or crooked teeth, porcelain veneers may be right for you.  A veneer is a light, tooth colored shell that fits over the front of your tooth. Veneers look just like real teeth. The procedure is a great option for those looking for a smile change.  Click to learn more about Porcelain Veneers.

• Invisalign
  

  Gone are the days of metal, silver braces with wires or rubber bands.  You can fix crooked teeth now with nearly invisible braces called Invisalign.   Each patient is custom fitted for a series of aligners that will slowly move the teeth into the correct position.  Since the aligners can be removed for meals, staining isn’t a problem.  Click to learn more about Invisalign.

• White Fillings
  

  When you laugh, talk or smile, an old silver filling may stand out and be visible.  Houston Dentist John Barras now offers a white filling made from material that is tooth colored. White fillings are aesthetically a great choice.  White fillings also bond to the teeth and support tooth structure.  Read more about white fillings.

  No one is born with a Hollywood smile.  If you see white, straight, attractive teeth, the person most likely has had a cosmetic dentistry procedure.   No matter what the condition of your teeth is now, Dr. Barras can change them into a beautiful, healthy smile.  A Smile Makeover will transform your entire smile. And, as we’ve seen with our patients, it will transform your entire life.   Read more about our smile makeovers.
