What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is the portion of the field dedicated to making your teeth look pristine. While not all cosmetic treatments have benefits for oral health, they might give you a boost in confidence that comes with having a smile you’re happy to show off. 

The Los Feliz Dental Center team provides multiple cosmetic treatments that can make your teeth look more uniform. They conduct an interview with you about the improvements you’d like to see before making recommendations for treatments that align with your goals. 

Which treatments does cosmetic dentistry offer?

As a leading provider in the area, Los Feliz Dental Center provides updated cosmetic services to make your teeth look the best they ever have. Your options for cosmetic dentistry include:

Whitening treatments

Los Feliz Dental Center offers Zoom!® in-office teeth whitening to brighten your teeth by multiple shades. For time management purposes, you can also choose whitening with Zoom! NiteWhite at-home power teeth whitening. 

Veneers

Veneers are shells that appear like the fronts of your teeth. They attach to the outward-facing surfaces of teeth to cover damages, irregularities, or any stains that don’t respond to whitening. Your options include porcelain veneers and ultra-thin Lumineers®. 

Restorative treatments

While restorative treatments serve a more functional purpose than strictly cosmetic treatments, there is certainly a cosmetic component to them. Los Feliz Dental Center provides custom crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants that look like enhanced versions of your original teeth. 

When should I consider cosmetic dentistry?

There are countless reasons to consider cosmetic treatments during your next dental visit. These treatments can conceal damage to your teeth and restore a healthier and more attractive look to your smile. Most of them are customizable to ensure your results look natural and flattering with your facial features. 

The team at Loz Feliz Dental Center specializes in using cosmetic treatments to address:

• Chips and cracks
• Stains and discoloration
• Irregular or asymmetrical teeth
• Slight tooth misalignment
• Teeth that are short or small

Some treatments that fit into the category of cosmetic dentistry are also restorative, which means they have at least some benefit for the function of your smile too. The team can fill you in on the specific benefits of your treatment during your consultation.
