Achieve Straight Teeth with Invisalign® Clear Aligners

If you want straighter teeth without the look of metal braces, Invisalign® is a great option. These clear aligners are custom-made for your mouth and are nearly invisible. You'll switch to a new set of aligners every week or two, usually completing treatment in 10 to 24 months. Invisalign® works for both minor and complex tooth adjustments. The aligners are smooth, comfortable, and removable, making eating and brushing easy. With Invisalign®, there are no wires, no brackets, and fewer trips to the dentist.

Get Brighter Results with Professional Teeth Whitening

While over-the-counter whitening strips may seem easy to grab, they don't always yield the desired results. This is primarily because store-bought products use weaker ingredients. Aspire Family Dentistry offers whitening solutions that work faster and go deeper. Here's what makes professional whitening better:

• More Powerful Gel: Our treatments use up to 40% peroxide, compared to 10–20% in-store products.
• Safe Application: We protect your gums and apply the whitening carefully.
• Even Color: Custom trays help avoid uneven spots or blotchy results.

Our professional treatment is a smart and safe choice if you want teeth that look brighter without waiting weeks or risking uneven whitening.

Fix Tooth Problems with Natural-Looking Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin covers we place over the front of your teeth to fix cosmetic issues. If your teeth are chipped, stained, uneven, or worn down, veneers can make them look smooth and clean again. We carefully match the color to your other teeth to look natural. After prepping the tooth, we bond the veneer in place. Once it's on, you can use your tooth just like usual, and it'll look great, too. Veneers are strong, stain-resistant, and built to last. With good brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, they can look good for many years. Veneers are a great option if you want a long-lasting fix that improves how your teeth look and feel.

Repair Small Issues Fast with Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a quick and simple fix for chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth. We use a tooth-colored material called resin to fill in the damaged spots. It's shaped to match your natural tooth, then hardened with a special light. Bonding can:

• Fix chips or cracks
• Fill in the gaps between teeth
• Cover stains or dark spots

It usually takes just one visit and doesn't require any numbing. Bonding is an excellent choice if you want fast results without much work.

Smooth Out Uneven Teeth with Contouring and Reshaping

If your teeth look a little uneven or feel rough, contouring and reshaping might help. We gently shape the edges of your teeth to make them more even. This is a simple and pain-free way to fix small chips or slight overlaps.

This treatment can:

• Make your teeth look more balanced
• Help your bite feel more comfortable
• Reduce the chance of uneven wear

There's no recovery time and no need for numbing. It's a small change that can make a big difference in how your teeth feel and function.
