Treatments
Today's advanced dental treatments and materials can make a real difference, and the skill, experience, and commitment of our practice — using a unique combination of science and artistry — can literally redesign your smile. Even a subtle change in your smile helps you to project an image of self-confidence and high personal esteem. When you feel good about yourself, it shows in your appearance. Dr. Gerlecz can now give you the smile you want, including: a brighter smile with teeth whitening, bonding, and porcelain veneers, a more even smile with bonding and porcelain veneers, a complete smile with crowns, bridges, dentures and dental implants, and a healthy smile with sealants, fillings, inlays and onlays.
