A beautiful, healthy smile not only contributes to a positive self-image, but it also helps to make a great first impression on everyone you meet. When you’re completely satisfied with the look of your teeth, you’re likely to smile broadly and confidently more often.
If your teeth are stained, discolored, chipped, worn down, misshapen, a little gapped, or misaligned, you’re not alone. The good news is that these days, you don’t have to be a movie star to have a vibrant and beautiful smile.
At the office of Dr. Masis Yeterian and Dr. Angela Marwaha, we offer a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art dental services and provide the highest level of personalized care. Whether you’re unhappy with the look of a single tooth, all your front teeth, or have unsightly gaps in your smile due to missing teeth, we can help.
Combining the Art and Science of Dentistry
Even thousands of years ago, people were concerned about the health and appearance of their smiles. Viewing white teeth as a sign of wealth and beauty, the ancient Egyptians used small sticks to apply a mixture of ground pumice and wine vinegar to remove stains and whiten their teeth.
Today, we have the skills, technology, and materials to create smiles that are as beautiful as they are healthy. Thanks to developments in the field of cosmetic dentistry over the past 50 years, even the most challenging smiles can be transformed into ones that dazzle. Dr. Yeterian and Dr. Marwaha offer state-of-the-art treatment along with an artistic eye and keen awareness of facial aesthetics to produce cosmetically pleasing smiles and long-lasting results of care.
You can rest assured your smile is in the best of hands with us. We value patient input and listen carefully to your interests and expectations of care. When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, there is no “one size fits all” solution. We recognize that every patient is unique and provide highly personalized treatment.
What Are Some Types of Cosmetic Dental Procedures?
Cosmetic dental procedures range from relatively quick and non-invasive treatments to more extensive ones tailored to a patient’s specific needs and expectations of care.
When staining, enamel defects, minor chips, small gaps, or slight misalignment are present, conservative and minimally invasive procedures such as cosmetic dental bonding, professional strength teeth whitening, and veneers can offer effective and highly satisfying ways to improve the look of your smile.
Teeth with cavities, more extensive damage, or more significant cosmetic flaws can be restored and rebuilt to achieve attractive, durable, and long-lasting results with tooth-colored fillings and natural-looking dental crowns.
Rebuilding a Complete and Beautiful Smile
Dr. Yeterian and Dr. Marwaha use leading-edge technology, proven methods, and the latest generations of dental materials to give patients the smiles they’ve always wanted!
Some of the most common cosmetic dental procedures we perform include the following.
Dental Bonding
To repair minor defects, chips, or fractures, mask discolorations, and close small gaps between teeth, a dental bonding procedure is considered one of the most effective, economical, and quickest methods of care. A bonding procedure is typically performed with composite resins, which come in a wide array of tooth-colored shades to enhance the look of your smile and blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth. Bonded to the underlying tooth structure, composite resins are made of biologically safe and metal-free materials that offer excellent aesthetics, strength, and durability.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Today, it’s possible to restore a tooth with decay with cosmetically pleasing and metal-free filling materials composed of composite resin and filler particles that form a hard matrix when set. Strong and durable, these fillings bond to the remaining tooth structure as they rebuild it following the removal of any decayed or damaged portions. Best of all, with tooth-colored fillings, there’s no unsightly metal showing. Your smile looks naturally pleasing whether you’re opening your mouth or simply flashing a broad smile.
Teeth Whitening
If your teeth are stained, discolored, or yellowed, you may benefit from a professional-strength teeth whitening procedure from our office. A teeth-whitening procedure can quickly transform a dull, drab, discolored smile into one that’s whiter and more vibrant. Although over-the-counter teeth whitening systems purchased in stores or online have become popular, there are health concerns and limitations with these products. As a rule, the healthiest and most effective methods of teeth whitening are the ones managed and supervised by the dentist.
Dental Veneers
One of the most conservative yet highly effective and aesthetically pleasing ways to enhance the appearance of imperfect-looking teeth is the fabrication of porcelain veneers. By placing customized, ultra-thin facings made of the highest grade of dental porcelain over the front of a single tooth or multiple teeth, our office can transform the look of your smile.
Crowns
Besides restoring the appearance and function of teeth with extensive dental decay, cracked fillings, prior root canals, or rebuilding teeth that are very worn down from grinding, a full coverage dental crown can also be used to improve the cosmetics of an imperfect tooth. A full coverage crown may be indicated for teeth that are misshapen, deeply stained, or otherwise significantly flawed.
Helping Patients Achieve Their Cosmetic Smile Goals
A successful and satisfying cosmetic treatment plan values patient input. As part of a cosmetic smile makeover consultation, your interests and concerns are discussed while your smile is carefully analyzed to determine which procedures will provide the most pleasing results of care.
Armed with a comprehensive knowledge of dental aesthetics as well as a thorough understanding of the complex requirements of an optimally functional bite, Dr. Yeterian and Dr. Marwaha offer treatments to help you achieve your cosmetic goals.
As skilled providers of cosmetic dentistry, we work hard to stay at the forefront of advances in technology and dental materials to deliver the highest quality of care.
