Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth

These are fairly common esthetic dental flaws, and we have several treatments to correct them:

  • Dental bonding is a process where we use a tooth-colored composite resin to build up and restore damaged portions of a tooth. Bonding is cost-effective and easy enough that we can usually repair several teeth in just one sitting.
  • Porcelain veneers are another excellent solution for concealing these esthetic problems. Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells that we bond to the front surface of your teeth. Since they hide a tooth, veneers can be used to easily correct chipped, cracked, or broken teeth.

Stained and Discolored Teeth

Teeth whitening is the most requested cosmetic dental treatment we offer. That’s because it’s fast, affordable, and can dramatically whiten your teeth in just one appointment. Teeth whitening results | Lake Balboa DentistZoom! teeth whitening treatments at our Van Nuys dental office can easily remove stains and discoloration to quickly transform your smile from dull and drab to bright and beautiful.

Dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and esthetic crowns can also be used to conceal teeth that are so severely stained that even professional teeth whitening can’t help. 

Crooked or Crowded Teeth

If crowded or crooked teeth are holding you back from smiling confidently, we can recommend discreet, comfortable Invisalign clear braces. Invisalign aligner trays are easy to wear, and you can remove them for eating and oral hygiene. Many patients see results in as little as a year.

Minor misalignments may not need braces at all. In certain instances, we can use veneers or esthetic dental crowns to conceal the appearance of crooked and crowded teeth.

Missing Teeth

Of all cosmetic dental concerns, a missing tooth is probably the most difficult to deal with. Not only is your appearance affected, but chewing and speaking clearly may also become a challenge.

Of course, you want your healthy smile back. But it’s also critical to replace a missing tooth as quickly as possible to avoid other oral health problems.

We have several options for replacing a missing tooth, but we highly recommend dental implants because they aren’t just a cosmetic solution. A dental implant is an actual replacement root that, over time, will integrate with your jaw. Your implant will look, act, and feel almost exactly like a natural tooth.

There's a lot to consider if you're thinking about dental implants, so please call us to arrange an appointment. Dr. Bacquet will be happy to evaluate your needs and help you decide if a dental implant is the right tooth replacement solution for you.

Making Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

We know that cosmetic dentistry may seem out of reach for you. But with the availability of new and improved materials and techniques, we can customize a smile makeover that fits your budget.

Instead of porcelain veneers, we may be able to use dental bonding to alter the shape or size of a tooth. Bonding is an excellent choice for filling in chips, building up a broken tooth, and closing uneven gaps and spacing between teeth

Are your teeth stained from smoking or consuming dark-colored beverages like coffee and red wine? Professional teeth whitening kits at our Van Nuys dental office are an affordable solution that produces a brighter smile in just two weeks of at-home use.

Do You Offer Financing for Cosmetic Dentistry?

We are pleased to offer CareCredit, which is a credit card for your health and wellness needs. CareCredit allows you to get your cosmetic dental work done today so you can start enjoying a more beautiful smile right away.

CareCredit allows you to make small monthly payments that fit your budget. You agree to a length of time to pay the balance (usually 6, 12, or 18 months), and if you make all your payments in the agreed period, you won’t be charged any interest.

You can continue to use CareCredit for all your dental care, hearing and vision needs, dermatology, and even veterinary expenses. If you’re interested, please ask a member of our team for more information.

How Do I Know Which Cosmetic Service Is Right for Me?

woman at the dentist in lake balboaIn cosmetic dentistry, there’s often more than one way to solve a problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cosmetic Dentistry to Improve Your Smile | Saticoy Plaza Dentistry At Saticoy Plaza Dentistry, we offer several methods for changing the shape of your teeth. Dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and crowns are all great options. Which we choose depends on your needs and desires.

Our Cosmetic Dental Options

  • Esthetic crowns are made of natural-looking porcelain so they blend beautifully with your smile. Dental crowns surround a damaged tooth to protect and strengthen it. Since crowns completely conceal your natural tooth, they can also be used to correct certain esthetic problems like severe discoloration. 
  • Bonding is the most conservative and cost-effective method for changing the appearance of a tooth. The advantage of bonding is that we don’t have to make any changes to an existing tooth. With bonding, we simply build up the tooth to the desired shape using a natural-looking composite material. This allows us to correct many imperfections and give the tooth a whole new look. Bonding is such a straightforward process that we can usually alter several teeth in just one appointment.
  • Porcelain veneers are another excellent option if there’s something about your smile you’d like to change. Veneers are thin slices of porcelain that are affixed to the front surface of your tooth to conceal imperfections and change its shape. With veneers, we have the option of treating just one tooth or several teeth.

Both bonding and veneers can alter the tooth shape, as well as correct other esthetic concerns. Using either procedure, we can fix chips, cracks, and broken teeth and fill uneven spaces between teeth. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, and our doctors are here to help you decide which works best for you.

If you are ready to start your smile transformation, please call our Van Nuys, CA cosmetic dental office. We would love to be part of your plans for a healthier and more attractive smile.

No, dental veneers aren’t permanent. The thin, porcelain shells will require replacement at some point. However, with proper maintenance and care, it’s possible for veneers to last well over a decade and even a couple of decades in some exceptional cases. 

How to Preserve Your Veneers 

While your veneers can’t decay, the teeth beneath the veneers can, which can cause the veneers to fail. Gum disease and other oral health issues can also lessen the lifespan of your porcelain veneers. 
To get the most out of your dental veneers, it’s vital to adhere to a good oral hygiene routine, which should include brushing your teeth and flossing every day. You should brush at least twice a day and floss a minimum of once per day. 

It’s also essential to see your dentist bi-yearly for exams and dental cleanings, which can help prevent dental issues from developing. If a dental issue does develop, and you’re seeing your dentist routinely, the dentist can catch the problem in the early stages, allowing for intervention and the most conservative treatment. 

In addition, it helps to avoid habits and foods that could damage your dental veneers. For example, crunchy and hard foods can damage both your veneers and your natural teeth, and habits like nail-chewing or chewing on a pen or pencil, and especially tooth grinding, are detrimental as well.
