Do people think you are sour and somber because you do not smile? Unfortunately, people with dental issues are frequently judged inaccurately because they do not like to smile. This is something that you can change. Dr. Luu and the staff at Gentle Care Dentistry provide a wide array of cosmetic dental services to the residents of Azusa, and the results will give anyone a reason to smile.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the aesthetics of a patients smile in addition to the health of their mouth. A number of procedures are typically thought of as restorative that are also cosmetic, such as tooth colored fillings, bridges or crowns. A cosmetic dentist knows how to combine these treatments to produce results that can range from small changes to a complete smile redesign.

Examples of cosmetic dentistry

• Teeth Whitening – This is one of the most common cosmetic procedures, it has no oral health benefits; it strictly benefits the aesthetics of the smile. With at home trays patients can lighten their teeth by several shades. Gentle Care Dentistry has a patient appreciation program; Dr. Luu gives patients who keep their regular checkups free whitening gel.
• Porcelain veneers – Thin pieces of porcelain are bonded to the front of a patient’s teeth, completely changing the look of their smile. This is an option for patients who have teeth with chips, cracks, or large gaps between them.
• Tooth colored fillings – This is one of the most common restorative procedures in dentistry. Dr. Luu can safely replace silver amalgam fillings with composite resin fillings. These fillings are not only ascetically pleasing, but also safer.
• Orthodontics – Patients who have problems with their bite, or have crowded, or uneven teeth can benefit from orthodontics. Treatment results can give patients a smile they never thought was possible.
• Crowns – These are a good choice for repairing teeth that have extensive damage from decay or injury. Once the damaged portion of the tooth is removed, a cap that matches the healthy teeth is placed. This is a good way to restore a tooth that otherwise would have required extraction.
• Bridge – This is an effective way to replace a missing tooth. A bridge is multi-tooth unit consisting of an artificial tooth that is fused between two crowns. The crowns will be placed on the teeth on each side of the gap filling the void and giving the patient a beautiful smile.
