- Dental ExaminationIf you are to benefit from teeth whitening, it has to begin by ensuring your teeth and gums are as healthy as possible. To begin with, you should be sure to have at least one annual cleaning and exam (two is better). Once you have undergone an exam, Dr. Berger can help you address any issues such as decay, gum disease, the need for fillings, restorations and so on.

- FillingsTooth colored fillings offer a number of wonderful benefits that you cannot get from metal amalgam fillings. They require your dentist near Bayport to remove less material from the affected tooth, and they can be matched to the shade of your teeth so that no one can tell that you ever had a filling in the first place. Of course, like other dental procedures, with tooth colored fillings, aftercare is an essential step of the process.
- Resin CompositeOur tooth-colored fillings are made from high quality composite resin, providing strength, stability, and esthetics for a tooth that is in need of repair. Your fillings will be bonded directly to the tooth for increased support.
- VeneersImagine entering the office of a cosmetic dentist with teeth that are deeply stained, chipped, slightly misaligned, and uneven and emerging later with a perfect grin.

- CrownsDental crowns are used when a tooth has become severely broken, decayed, or damaged. These caps fit right over the affected tooth, restoring appearance as well as function. Our crown will be fabricated to your standards, matching the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth. The damaged tooth structure will be removed during your appointment, and the crown will be placed and polished.
