Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening, a popular cosmetic dental procedure, lightens the color of teeth and removes stains and discoloration. This process typically involves using bleaching agents in-office or at home under professional supervision.  

Teeth whitening in Fairfield, CA, can significantly improve the appearance of your smile by making your teeth several shades brighter, enhancing overall aesthetics and boosting self-confidence. It's a non-invasive and effective way to achieve a more radiant and youthful-looking smile, erasing the effects of aging, lifestyle choices, and dietary habits on tooth color.  

Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front side of your teeth to change their color, shape, size, or length. They are made from either porcelain or resin composite materials and are permanently cemented to your teeth.  

Veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment because they provide a natural look and are resistant to staining. The procedure for applying veneers is pretty simple. First, our dentist in Fairfield, CA, will clean your teeth and remove a small amount of enamel from the front of each tooth. Then, they will take an impression of the teeth and send it to a lab to create your custom veneers. Once the veneers are created, our dentist will place them on each tooth and bond them using a special cement.  

Laminates

Laminates, also known as prepless veneers or ultra-thin veneers, are customized shells typically made from porcelain or composite resin. They are bonded to the front surface of the teeth. These ultra-thin dental restorations serve as a versatile cosmetic solution to enhance the appearance of teeth, addressing imperfections such as stains, minor misalignment, chipping, and gaps.  

Laminates are a minimally invasive option, preserving the natural tooth structure while delivering a radiant and symmetrical smile. They offer durability, resistance to staining, and swift results, making them an effective choice for individuals seeking to improve their smile's aesthetics and self-confidence.
