Cosmetic Dentistry Q & A

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Any dental work designed to improve the appearance of your bite, teeth, or gums is considered cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry improves aesthetics, including tooth coloring, size, shape, position, or alignment. 

Why should I consider cosmetic dentistry?

If you’re self-conscious about your smile or simply don’t like the appearance of your teeth, you should consider cosmetic dentistry. People visit Los Robles for many reasons, including: 

  • Discolored or stained teeth
  • Cracked, broken, or chipped teeth
  • Missing teeth
  • Decayed teeth
  • Gaps between the teeth

Some aesthetic issues with teeth also cause problems with drinking, eating, or talking, so fixing the cosmetic problem, such as missing or decayed teeth, also improves your overall oral health. 

What cosmetic dentistry services are available?

Los Robles provides complete oral and dental care, including traditional dentistry like annual exams and cleanings to cosmetic dentistry solutions. If you’re unhappy with the color or size of your teeth or their alignment, Dr. Hashemi recommends a customized treatment plan that may include services like:

Cosmetic dental bonding

Bonding uses composite filling to fix cracked or discolored teeth, fill small gaps, or fill holes left by tooth decay.

Lumineers® 

An ultra-thin dental veneer, Lumineers are bonded to the surface of your teeth without the need to remove any of your tooth’s structure. 

Porcelain dental veneers

Veneers are thin ceramic sheets that bond to your teeth. Veneers can fix the spacing between teeth, cracked teeth, misalignment, and give you a pearly white smile.

Smile makeover

Smile makeovers are customized to your unique situation and include a combination of restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry services. Typical procedures include fillings, bonding, crowns, Invisalign®, veneers, or implants.

Snap-on-smile®

Snap-on-smile is a custom-made appliance you wear over your existing teeth to hide dental problems like gaps between the teeth, stained or discolored teeth, chips, and cracked teeth.

Teeth whitening

Professional teeth whitening removes stains from the surface of your teeth to restore a whiter appearance. In-office teeth whitening takes about an hour and offers long-lasting results.

Dr. Hashemi helps you choose one or more cosmetic dentistry treatments based on your aesthetic goals and oral health. The customized treatment plan helps you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of while maintaining good dental hygiene.
