- Veneers
Veneers are thin shells that fit over the front surface of a patient's teeth to improve their appearance while also protecting the teeth from damage. Veneers treat cosmetic concerns:  chipped, broken, discolored or smaller- or larger-than-average teeth. The tooth-colored, thin shells bond to the teeth such that the teeth's length, size, color, shape and function can be improved. You will participate in the design of your new teeth including translucency, texture, color and shapes so you can own the spectacular smile you've always wanted.

- Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening involves applying hydrogen peroxide or a carbamide peroxide-based gel to the surfaces of stained teeth. The bleach breaks up the stains making the color less concentrated.  This leaves the patient's teeth brighter and whiter. As a cosmetic Prosthodontic expert, Dr. Pedro uses the Zoom system to customize your treatment.  While results vary based on a number of factors, our typical results lead to teeth 4-8 shades lighter. 

BTL's Emface@About Face

EMFACE offers a non-invasive, needle-free alternative to Botox and filler, with many users reporting noticeable improvements in skin tone, lift, and muscle strength without downtime. While some find it a good option for subtle, low-commitment anti-aging treatments, others note that it may not replace filler for achieving a very smooth, plump look. 
Key Aspects of EmFace Reviews:
• Non-invasive and pain-free:
EmFace uses radiofrequency and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFES™) to stimulate collagen production and strengthen facial muscles, without the need for needles or downtime. 
• Visible results:
Many reviewers report a noticeable lift, particularly in the cheek and brow areas, and a more sculpted, refreshed appearance. 
• Muscle toning and lifting:
EmFace is praised for its ability to tone facial muscles, which contributes to a more defined jawline and improved overall facial contour. 

- Skin Resurfacing
There are different types of Skin Resurfacing options today. Most patienqwertyts opt for laser treatments, either Ablative or Non-Ablative.
ABLATIVE Lasers remove the thin outer layer of skin (the epidermis layer) to heat the underlying layer (the dermis). This stimulates collagen growth. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that improves skin's firmness and texture. As the epidermis heals and re-grows, the skin appears smoother and tighter.  Many patients look several years younger.

NONABLATIVE Lasers also stimulate collagen growth, but less aggressively so offer a shorter recovery time. Nonablative Lasers still lessen the appearance of fine lines, improve the loss of skin tone and complexion, but not as significantly or as noticeably as Ablative Lasers.  

- Botox
Botox injections are used for facial aesthetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines, usually in the patient's face. As a TMJ Specialist, Dr. Pedro also uses Botox to relieve jaw tension, pain, headaches (migraines) and teeth grinding. Botox relaxes overworked jaw muscles.
