An Overview of Cosmetic Dental Treatments Near You

All treatment options that are considered cosmetic dentistry will work to improve the appearance of your teeth. Other procedures can improve your oral health and restore function, as well. Some of the most popular cosmetic dentistry options in Mission Valley include:

Bonding

Tooth-colored resin will be attached to the teeth to improve the strength and appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or have other minor imperfections. The process requires only minimal preparation of the teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers consist of thin, hard shells of material that match the color of your teeth. They are designed to substitute for the natural enamel and are useful in masking numerous dental imperfections.

Teeth Whitening

This is an affordable way to brighten your smile. It can be completed at the office or with an at-home system created by us.

Dental Crowns

If your teeth are heavily damaged, you may be able to cover them with a porcelain crown. This cosmetic option also serves as a restorative solution to replace the natural tooth structure.

Dental Bridges

With bridgework, a missing tooth may be replaced with a porcelain bridge. It can be attached to the existing teeth on both sides of the space.

Inlays and Onlays

In some cases, a filling may be fabricated from composite or porcelain at a dental lab to match the color of the natural teeth. If applied to the inner portion of the tooth, it is called an inlay. If it is attached to the tooth’s biting surface, it is called an onlay.

Dental Implants

These restorations are made out of titanium in order to replace a missing tooth root. They will fuse to the jawbone in order to become a permanent fixture of your mouth. The implant is then fitted with a crown to give your teeth a natural-looking replacement.

Tooth Reshaping and Contouring

Your cosmetic dentist can use a laser or drill to reshape or smooth out the teeth. This is a good treatment option for correcting minor cosmetic problems.

Smile Makeover

A smile makeover will involve a complete assessment of the esthetics of your smile in order to improve the overall appearance. This will typically involve several cosmetic dentistry procedures, including veneers, implants, and whitening. The end result should be a smile that will make you proud.
