Cosmetic Dentistry Q & A

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized area of dental care aimed at improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, or bite. Even minor smile enhancements can boost self-confidence and self-esteem.

At Foothill Dental Care, Dr. Lee not only focuses on the look of your smile but also on your overall oral health.

What are cosmetic dentistry treatments?

Dr. Lee offers many cosmetic dentistry treatments to correct your smile concerns. Some of the cosmetic dental treatment options include:

Teeth whitening
Veneers
Crowns
Bridges
Dental implants
Dentures

To address all of your smile flaws and concerns, Dr. Lee also offers a smile makeover, which is a comprehensive cosmetic dentistry program that utilizes a number of dental treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

What are crowns and bridges?

Crowns and bridges are permanent dental devices Dr. Lee uses to restore or replace damaged or missing teeth. Unlike dentures, your crown or bridge is cemented into place, so you don’t have to worry about your teeth falling out when you eat or speak.

In addition to completing your smile, Dr. Lee also uses dental crowns to:

Improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
Protect a weak or fractured tooth
Cover your natural tooth after a root canal
Restore tooth structure after treatment of a large cavity

Dr. Lee recommends a bridge if you’re missing more than one tooth. Filling in the gap created by your missing teeth restores your smile and helps hold your natural teeth in place to prevent further tooth loss.

What is a smile makeover?

At Foothill Dental Care, a smile makeover addresses all of your smile concerns using one or more dental treatments. Some of the smile flaws addressed with a smile makeover include:

Tooth discoloration
Cracked or chipped teeth
Misshapen teeth
Disproportionately shaped teeth
Eroded teeth
Crooked teeth
Gaps
Gummy smiles
Uneven gums

Dr. Lee and the dental team work closely with you to develop a customized smile makeover treatment plan that takes into consideration your cosmetic concerns, oral health needs, and ultimate aesthetic goals. Your smile makeover treatment plan may include a combination of cosmetic dental treatments and restorative procedures, such as teeth whitening, dental implants, and/or orthodontics.
