Our dental team knows that the appearance of your smile can make a big difference for your self-esteem and confidence in social situations. That is why we offer a number of different cosmetic treatments to help our dental patients achieve their dream smiles. Keep reading to learn a little bit more about the cosmetic solutions our Santa Monica dentists utilize.

Every cosmetic treatment that we offer is designed to improve the appearance of your smile while maintaining and supporting your overall oral health.

For example, tooth-colored, metal-free fillings and restorations look exceptionally natural, while repairing existing dental damage! Our office is completely mercury-free, which means we do not provide restorative treatments with amalgam.

Dental bonding is another aesthetic and functional treatment that can take your smile to the next level. The bonding process involves our dental team placing composite resin over your natural enamel. Then we cure this resin so that it becomes hard and sturdy, and bonds to your tooth. This treatment can correct dental damage, cover/refresh discolored teeth, and make teeth wider or longer, as necessary.

An alternative to dental bonding is porcelain veneers’ treatment. Dental veneers are individual porcelain restorations that are crafted to fit the patient’s specifications, and then placed over the patient’s natural teeth. Every veneer is unique! Once your veneers are bonded to your teeth, they stay in place permanently, and you can jump back into your normal routine.

Professional teeth whitening treatments can also make a huge difference in the appearance of your smile in a very short period of time. Using a topical whitening gel, our dentist will lighten the appearance of existing dental stains, and help restore your smile to its previous level of whiteness and brightness.

Our Santa Monica cosmetic dentists are here to provide you with any additional information that you may need. You can get personalized recommendations during your personal consultation with our dentist—just give us a call to get started!
