As the years pass, your teeth can begin showing signs of wear and tear that may have a noticeable effect on their appearance. While this can be common, it can be more severe if you have a history of teeth grinding, or if you often chew on hard surfaces like ice cubes. While some degree of wear and tear can be difficult to avoid, it can be addressed with cosmetic dental work. At our Santa Monica, CA dental office, you can see impressive smile improvements when you receive porcelain veneers. Veneers are effective at correcting problems with wear and tear, concerns about dental discoloration, and even issues with tooth size or alignment. (more…)

One person’s concerns about their smile may be wildly different from the concerns you currently have about your appearance. With that in mind, it can be easy to understand why a general approach to cosmetic dental work would have limited appeal to patients! At our Santa Monica, CA dental practice, we want to understand your goals for smile improvement, and we want to help you by making those improvements as attainable as possible. After discussing what you would like to change through cosmetic treatment, we can recommend the appropriate treatment that best fits you, while also helping you complete treatment in the shortest time possible!

Your goal every time you brush and floss your teeth should be to keep yourself safe against threats like tooth decay and gum disease. Oral bacteria pose a persistent threat, and a consistent routine can give you meaningful support in your aim to avoid restorative dental work. With that said, you can also expect to see your teeth remain attractive as you continue to fight the buildup of food debris and bacteria. Unfortunately, people sometimes struggle to maintain their appearance over time because stains build up on their enamel, even when they are effectively preventing cavities. At our Santa Monica, CA dental practice, we can greatly improve the color of your teeth with a same-day whitening procedure, and effectively remove those stains that your daily oral care practices are leaving behind.

As exciting as it might be to think about a smile makeover, you can be uncomfortable with the thought of a long or involved cosmetic dental treatment process.

With your veneers, or with slimmer Lumineers, we can hide flaws while improving the shape, size, alignment, and color of teeth! Even people who feel that their teeth are significantly flawed can see meaningful results after just a single procedure. (more…)
