Common Types of Cosmetic Treatments


Modern patients can have virtually any cosmetic dental issue resolved with the right treatment. From temporary to permanent, simple to complex, cosmetic dental procedures can restore confidence in patients whose teeth have flaws. Here is more about common aesthetic dental options.

Teeth Whitening

Both conventional office tooth whitening and Zoom whitening are superior to store-bought whitening products. With Zoom, three whitening cycles are performed in one session. Results arrive in about an hour and can last for months.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Unlike metal fillings, white composite fillings leave teeth looking natural. This is ideal for front teeth that are visible when patients smile.

Veneers

As their name suggests, veneers are shells that are attached to the fronts of teeth. Veneers are permanent and can hide flaws involving color, structure and even positioning.

Crowns

Also called caps, crowns cover the entire tooth rather than just the front as veneers do. The greater thickness of crowns also allows for better concealment of major flaws.

Our dentist also offers smile makeovers, which are custom-selected combinations of treatments to resolve multiple cosmetic issues. Every makeover is unique to match the goals of the individual. By scheduling a consultation at our cosmetic dental clinic in Northridge, patients can learn more about the latest treatments to improve the appearance of their teeth.
