Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Although a cavity or dental injury can certainly negatively impact your smile’s visual appeal, restorations that contain metal aren’t much better. In fact, their shiny surfaces can draw the wrong kind of attention. That’s why we offer metal-free restorations for those who experience dental decay or damage. From our tooth-colored fillings and our porcelain dental crowns, you can rely on our restorations to be durable and protect your teeth in the future.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
If you’re looking for a more affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding may be the answer you’re looking for. Not only can this treatment do everything that veneers do, but it can usually be completed in just one appointment instead of two. Cosmetic bonding utilizes tooth-colored composite resin, which is used for filling cavities, to cover stains, fill in gaps and chips, and hide other imperfections that you may have in your smile.

Teeth Whitening
As you age, your smile can look more dull, yellow, or discolored. By brightening the shade of your teeth, you can take years off your smile and keep a more youthful glow. Instead of whitening by only a couple of shades with store-bought solutions, you can take advantage of our at-home or in-office whitening treatments. We offer both types to accommodate your schedule and meet your needs, but either way you choose, you’ll end up with results you love.
Invisalign
Did you know that the alignment of your teeth can have more than just an aesthetic impact on your smile? When teeth are crooked, gapped, or overcrowded, cleaning plaque and bacteria becomes much more difficult, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. But straightening your teeth doesn’t mean that you have to endure metal braces for a few years. Invisalign involves wearing discreet, clear plastic aligners that are far more comfortable to wear and can achieve results in half the time.
Smile Makeovers
Perhaps you don’t know what specific treatments will give you the smile you’ve always wanted. Don’t worry! Dr. Rabban can create a personalized plan, customizing procedures to meet your unique needs. With her expertise, no smile is too far gone for our team at Clinton Township Family Dental. We’ll find the right combination that will make your dream smile a reality, and it all starts with a simple consultation.

What’s the difference between a crown and veneer?
Although dental veneers and crowns can both be called “restorations,” they are typically recommended in different situations. Dental crowns are utilized to help support and strengthen compromised teeth, like those that have received root canals. They can also improve the appearance of misshapen or severely discolored teeth and are crafted from natural-looking materials.
On the other hand, veneers are used primarily to conceal teeth that are damaged, discolored, gapped, and even slightly misaligned or misshapen. Instead of fitting around the tooth like a dental crown, the veneer is adhered to the front visible surface of a tooth, concealing any aesthetic flaws. These are also crafted from natural-looking, durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, and resin.
If you’re considering which treatment will best work for your unique needs, our team at Clinton Township Family Dental can help explain your options in greater detail to you at a consultation.
What causes teeth to become stained?
There are a number of reasons why your teeth can stain over time, some preventable and some not. These include:
- Aging
- Smoking or using tobacco products
- Taking certain medications
- Genetics
- Dental disease
- Eating dark foods
- Drinking dark beverages
- Dental trauma
- Poor dental hygiene
- Receiving too much or too little fluoride
Regardless of the underlying causes of dental discoloration, our team offers high-quality, professional teeth whitening that can tackle some of the most severe and deep-seated stains. Depending on your preference, you can choose between customized take-home teeth whitening treatment or in-office teeth whitening.
