You Can Love Your Smile Again: Learn More From Our Santa Monica Dentist

Written by Dr. Follette on Mar 1, 2022

If there is one thing that our Santa Monica dental team believes wholeheartedly it is that no smile is beyond help. No matter what your teeth look like today, our dental team can help you achieve a smile that you will be proud to show off. Today we are talking about the process of planning and implementing cosmetic treatment…

Identify the issues

The first step in any of our restorative or cosmetic treatment processes is to complete a comprehensive oral health assessment. This allows our team to get a clearer view of all of the things that are going on with your smile. We can pinpoint structural dental issues that may become problematic over time, screen your mouth for cancerous tissues, and identify infected or damaged teeth.

This is also a great time to talk to you about what your dream smile looks like—what exactly, would you like to change about your smile?

Restore oral health

If we do find any unhealthy or damaged tissues, we may recommend that you have these issues corrected prior to aesthetic care. We aren’t just trying to patch up your smile so that it looks better while remaining unhealthy. It’s important to treat cavities, gum disease, and fractured teeth for both aesthetic and health reasons.

Transform your dental aesthetics

There are a number of things that you can do to refresh your teeth and take years off of the appearance of your smile. Maybe you want to whiten your smile and erase accumulated environmental stains. Maybe you are looking to achieve a straighter, more seamless smile. Or maybe you need to close the gaps between your teeth.

No matter what your unique situation is, our Santa Monica cosmetic dentists are here to design a customized treatment plan that works for you, as an individual. Dental bonding, veneers, topical whitening treatment, Invisalign, and tooth replacement treatments can be employed individually or in combination to meet your needs.
