 Cosmetic Dentistry and
Smile Makeovers
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, mouth and smile. Creating beautifully natural results enhancing your self-image.
Smile makeovers involve a comprehensive assessment of your smile esthetics in order to improve its overall appearance. Typically one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as dental veneers, dental implants, gingival sculpting and teeth whitening, will be required for several teeth in both the upper and lower arches in order to achieve the look you want.
Even if your dental care needs range from a basic check-up to cosmetic dentistry, with one of our dental specialist, Dr. Charles Zuman or Dr. Alejandro Barrón, are very capable and experienced in order to take of your issues.
Our goal is to provide the best possible dental care to our esteem patients while maintaining the strictest quality controls in providing dental health care including dental Implants, bone grafting material, prosthetic (crown and bridge) and cosmetic dentistry with a balanced occlusion and a beautiful smile.
Technological advancements in natural-looking, tooth-colored dental materials make today's cosmetic dental treatments more durable and predictable than in years past, thus the term “Smile Makeover”.
Chipped, broken, discolored or decayed teeth may be repaired or have their appearance corrected using a procedure called composite bonding. A dental composite material with the look of enamel and dentin is applied into the cavity or onto the surface of a tooth, where it is then sculpted into shape, contoured and hardened with a high-intensity light. The result is a restoration that blends invisibly with the remainder of the surrounding tooth structure and the rest of your natural teeth to create a healthy, bright smile. Another treatment option would be dental veneers.
Dental veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Regardless of what causes unattractive teeth, dental veneers may solve most or even all of your cosmetic dental issues, including: worn enamel. Over time, the thin, hard white substance covering your teeth (enamel) may become worn, dulled, and discolored. Such minor problems may be functionally and cosmetically repaired with a composite “white filling”.
Some people who are interested in veneers will find that we may steer them to the simpler alternative of whitening, perhaps combined with some simple orthodontic alignment in order to be very conservative about you tooth structure.
Cosmetic dentistry may also provide restorative benefits. For example, dental fillings are a common procedure used to treat decayed teeth. Previously, most dental fillings were composed primarily of gold, amalgam and other materials that left visible dark spots on the teeth.
Today, dental fillings may fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry, because you can select fillings made of porcelain or composite materials that closely match the color of your teeth, thus maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth and smile. Many people may choose to have their older fillings replaced with newer, tooth-colored fillings to enhance their oral appearance.
Teeth Whitening or Bleaching can enhance the appearance of your smile. Teeth whitening is perhaps the most commonly recommended cosmetic dentistry procedure. Teeth are often stained from smoking, food, drink (coffee, tea or red wine) or poor oral hygiene. Laser teeth whitening will provide the benefit to lessen the sensitivity after the procedure is done.
