San Francisco and Marin CA
Thanks to advancements in cosmetic dentistry, turning your smile into one that is fit for Hollywood is easier and more affordable than ever before. Cosmetic dental treatments can address issues that bother you about your smile, boosting your confidence by making it appear as though you’ve found the elusive Fountain of Youth. Let’s look with our cosmetic dentist in San Francisco today at some of our most commonly requested cosmetic dental procedures.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening through our Glen Park Dental office will remove years of stains from your teeth in a matter of minutes. Our teeth can turn yellow or dingy over time because of age, some prescription medications and enjoying foods and beverages that can stain our teeth, like coffee, wine, tea, dark sodas and chocolate. Our GLO teeth whitening system is far more powerful and effective than over-the-counter products. This is why teeth whitening is our most requested cosmetic dental treatment.
Dental veneers
For teeth with intrinsic (or internal) staining — typically caused by certain prescription medications or trauma to the mouth — we offer dental veneers. These can also be used for other purposes, such as covering a chipped, cracked or broken tooth or masking gaps and minor crookedness in teeth. Veneers are durable, wafer-thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that adhere to the surfaces of teeth. They are custom-made to match neighboring teeth, creating a seamless, beautiful smile.
Dental bonding
Dental bonding addresses the same issues as veneers, but it is more economical and quicker. Our cosmetic dentist in Marin applies a tooth-colored resin to repair chipped, cracked or discolored teeth. We then shape, cure and polish the resin to match surrounding teeth, resulting in a seamless restoration. Bonding is an excellent option for minor cosmetic adjustments and can often be completed in a single visit to our office in the Bay Area.
Invisalign
To discreetly and comfortably straighten teeth, we recommend Invisalign for orthodontic dentistry. This is a popular alternative to traditional metal braces, especially for teenagers and adults. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift the teeth into their proper position in usually half the time it takes braces.
Dental implants
If you’re missing teeth or need to have one (or more) extracted, our San Francisco cosmetic dentist will recommend dental implants. This revolutionary treatment involves surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone that act as tooth roots to support a crown or bridge. The posts fuse with the jawbone over time, providing a stable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. Dental implants look, feel and function like natural teeth.
