What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is the use of dental treatments to improve the aesthetic of your teeth and overall smile. As important as it is to prevent oral health problems and repair damaged or decayed teeth, feeling great about your smile is just as important.

Cosmetic dental treatments not only improve the appearance of your teeth, but they provide you with an overall more youthful appearance and give people a better impression of you, which can be advantageous in the workplace and your social life.

Say goodbye to the days of hiding your smile and avoiding photos. With cosmetic dentistry, you can cover up damaged, eroded, misaligned, discolored, or awkwardly shaped/sized teeth. While you cover up these cosmetic imperfections, you’re also simultaneously improving your oral health. 

Orthodontic problems can make it difficult to properly clean your teeth and can cause speech problems. Chipped or cracked teeth are at a higher risk for further breakage. If damage to your teeth leaves the nerve exposed, you’re at risk for an infection.

Teeth that are too sharp can cut the inside of your mouth and thin teeth are more prone to cavities and damage. Thankfully, cosmetic treatments can protect, strengthen, and repair your teeth all while prioritizing the aesthetic harmony of your smile.

What to Expect At Your Cosmetic Dentistry Appointment

If you want to improve your smile, we will need you to come in for a consultation with Dr. Tung or Dr. Liu. At this consultation, we will discuss your concerns about your smile and what you would like to achieve through cosmetic dentistry.

This will help us formulate a treatment plan that takes into consideration what is most important to you and fits into your budget. We will examine and take x-rays of your teeth to rule out oral health problems. Cosmetic dentistry needs to be performed on healthy teeth. 

We will place you in the driver’s seat of your treatment plan, ensuring that you’re happy with the prescribed treatments, cost, and length of treatment. We’ll then go ahead and schedule your appointments and discuss your sedation options

Cosmetic treatments vary in level of invasiveness, cost, and how many appointments are necessary. We will discuss all of this with you and let you know what the next steps are. 

For tooth restorations and Invisalign, impressions will need to be taken of your teeth and sent to a dental lab that helps fabricate your aligners or tooth restorations. We use shade-matching to ensure that any tooth replacements or covers blend seamlessly into your smile. You will be informed each step of the way and always receive a local anesthetic before the use of invasive dental tools.

Services We Offer

 

Whitening

A brighter, whiter smile can change everything.

At White Dental Spa, we can get your grin to a better place in as little as one hour. Whether you’ve got a big presentation, or a big date, you can get in and out over a lunch break or when you have a little free time.

For patients who would like to do their treatments at home, we offer custom trays and specially formulated whitening gel that you can use in the comfort of your own home. This whitening system takes about a week to complete, and Dr. Liu or Dr. Tung will instruct you on how to best use the product for your specific needs.

If you’re traveling, or have a large party to cater to, we also have White On The Go, which means we come to you. For parties of two or more, our team will bring in-office whitening supplies to get your entourage looking gorgeous.

Botox & Juvederm

Beautiful teeth with a frame to match!

A great smile includes more than just a beautiful set of teeth. The lips, cheeks and gums play a crucial role in the appearance and age of your smile. At White Dental Spa, we consider the entire mouth and face when creating your treatment plan. That’s why we offer Botox and Juvederm treatments. With a few small injections, we can reduce or eliminate wrinkles, plump the lips and cheeks, correct a gummy smile, or even get rid of those little black triangles between teeth.

But Botox at the dentist? It’s a question we’ve heard many times. But it makes sense when you consider that dentists have a keen understanding of the muscles in and around the mouth. Dentists perform injections every time they numb a patient for a procedure, and are medically trained to work with these instruments. We find that this gives our patients peace of mind and better results. TMJ patients can also benefit from Botox injections as they can relieve headaches and tension associated with the disorder.

Veneers & Lumineers

Transform your smile.

If you’re ready to take your smile to the next level, book a consultation with Dr. Liu or Dr. Tung at White Dental Spa to discuss your options for veneers or lumineers. These wafer-thin, porcelain shells fit over the teeth to cover discoloration, misalignment, gaps and other imperfections in your smile.

Patients have traditionally turned to veneers to correct the issues they have with their smiles. Their placement involves a minimally invasive procedure, and requires very little removal of the enamel. This removal makes for a more secure fit when the permanent veneers are placed, giving you a strong set a beautiful, stain-resistant teeth that can last for decades.

Lumineers are perfect for patients who seek a more conservative path to a beautiful smile. Because the lumineer is thinner than a veneer, it requires even less enamel to be removed in order to place it. Watch your imperfections disappear with these tiny porcelain shells.

Snap On Smile

A better smile… in a snap!

It’s as easy as it sounds. The team at White Dental Spa can fit you for a smile that goes on in a snap. Snap On Smile is similar to a retainer, but contains a set of custom-designed teeth that cover the imperfections of your natural smile. The new smile snaps into place for a secure fit, but is also easily removable so you can brush and floss as usual.

Snap On Smile is a cost-effective option for patients who need an alternative to veneers or lumineers. Instead of permanently placing a single porcelain shell on each individual tooth, the Snap On Smile is a comprehensive solution that upgrades the entire smile. The dental prosthetic also fit snuggly to your natural teeth, so getting used to speaking and eating with your new smile is easy. Come into WHITE for a consultation to discuss your options and if Snap On Smile is right for you.

Am I A Good Candidate For Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment?

Are you in good oral health but unhappy with the cosmetic flaws in your teeth or smile? Cosmetic dental treatment is suitable for patients with no active tooth decay or gum disease that wish to correct discoloration, gaps, crooked teeth, damage, or want to transform the size and shape of their teeth. 

This can be done with a variety of dental treatments that fit each person’s budget and schedule. However, if you have oral health problems, like severely damaged teeth or severe malocclusions, then cosmetic dentistry may not be the right step for you right now. 

You likely require more intense restorative or orthodontic treatment first. Cosmetic dentistry cannot repair severely damaged or broken teeth and Invisalign cannot correct severe orthodontic problems which are better suited for braces.
