Everybody wants to make a great first impression, which makes having a beautiful smile all that more important. Dr. Alex Bierman Dental Arts of the Oaks in Thousand Oaks, CA, knows how you feel, which is why he provides a variety of cosmetic dentistry procedures to improve your smile.
Which cosmetic dentistry option is right for you?
- Dental Bonding: This cosmetic procedure consists of your dentist applying a tooth-colored composite resin material to your teeth to improve your smile. Bonding improves the appearance of damaged or unappealing teeth: chipped, broken, cracked, stained or teeth with spaces between them.
- Tooth Reshaping/Contouring: This cosmetic dentistry technique removes small amounts of tooth enamel to change the shape, or length of one or more teeth. The process is combined with dental bonding to sculpt and shape the teeth.
- Teeth Whitening: Your Thousand Oaks cosmetic dentist applies concentrated bleaching material on teeth to eliminate stains and discolorations. The active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which when oxygenates enamel makes teeth lighter.
- Dental Veneers: Porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates are custom-made wafer-thin oral appliances cemented to the front surface of teeth to improve color, shape, size, or length.
- Dental Implants: This procedure replaces tooth roots with a titanium screw-like post to replace damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look like real ones. Dental implants prevent facial sinkage by providing structural support when the titanium post osseointegrates to the jawbone.
Caring for Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Caring for your cosmetic procedure is simple enough. Just brush and floss every day to avoid plaque accumulation, and be sure to visit your dentist twice a year for regular checkups and dental cleaning.
