Cosmetic dentistry encompasses treatments and procedures that restore or improve the appearance of one or more teeth, restore or improve the aesthetics of the gums, and help align the bite. At California Center for Laser Dentistry, we provide a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments and procedures from teeth whitening to dental implants and everything in between. 

Because each patient is unique, our dentist creates personalized treatment plans and may recommend one treatment or a combination of treatments for the best results. Many cosmetic dental treatments also improve dental health while improving a patient’s smile. For example, if your teeth are chipped or broken, veneers can cover imperfections while also strengthening your teeth. 

Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are thin, tooth-shaped shells made from porcelain. They’re custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and give you a flawless smile. Once they’re in place, you can brush and floss normally and eat your favorite foods. 

Veneers are often used to cover teeth that are stained, chipped, or crooked. They’re customized to your needs, and our dentist can design them to look exactly how you want. Veneers can help you make a better first impression at work and in social situations and feel more confident about your smile overall. 

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a standard and simple cosmetic dentistry treatment that can give you a brighter smile in just one office visit. During your procedure, our dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your teeth and use a light to activate the whitening ingredients in the gel. The solution will break apart the accumulated stains on your teeth. After your teeth whitening treatment, you can maintain the brightness of your smile with custom-fitted take-home trays. 

Composite Bonding

Composite resin is a tooth-colored material that can be bonded to your tooth to improve its appearance if it is affected by issues like decay, chips, fractures, or discoloration. This material matches your natural enamel color and blends in with your smile. The composite resin is cured with a special light, so the material becomes hard and durable once the procedure is finished.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

A Beautiful Smile

A beautiful, healthy smile can give you the confidence you deserve and allow you to share your smile with the world. When your teeth are straight and strong, you can enjoy eating the foods you love without pain or discomfort. Additionally, you can enjoy the benefits of a beautiful white smile that can boost your self-esteem. Whitening treatments can be used in conjunction with your other procedures to enhance the appearance of your smile. 

Improved Self-Esteem

Issues like crooked teeth, discoloration, and gaps between teeth can make you self-conscious about your smile. This can cause you to feel embarrassed and avoid social gatherings. Cosmetic dentistry can improve your self-esteem and help you feel more comfortable around others.
