Cosmetic Dentistry in Lakewood

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is the best way to restore your smile if you have stained, chipped, damaged or misshapen teeth. Today’s modern cosmetic dentistry procedures are more safe and affordable than ever, so there’s no reason to miss out on your dream smile.

With just a few procedures, you can have the smile you’ve always wanted at Lakewood Smiles Dentistry. We serve patients in Lakewood, Cerritos and Los Alamitos.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening uses advanced, peroxide-based bleaching agents to destroy and remove surface stains from the enamel of the tooth and restore the natural color of your teeth. We offer both at-home and in-office whitening solutions, so you can choose the option that works best for you and your schedule.

Dental Bonding and Contouring

Dental bonding is often used to repair teeth that have minor chips or are slightly misshapen. An advanced dental resin is applied by Dr. William or Dr. Girgis, and shaped to match the surrounding teeth. Then, it’s hardened with UV light to complete the treatment.

Contouring may also be used to remove small amounts of surrounding tooth enamel to provide a straighter, more attractive smile.

Composite and Porcelain Veneers

Composite veneers are made out of dental resin, while porcelain veneers are made out of advanced ceramic compounds. They both essentially do the same thing: using a wafer-thin shell of material, veneers fit over existing teeth, restoring the teeth and providing you with a picture-perfect smile in just two appointments.

Cosmetic Crowns

Severely damaged teeth must usually have a crown applied to restore and protect them from further damage. Cosmetic crowns may also be used on teeth that are very small or otherwise misshapen. These crowns are typically crafted from porcelain and matched to the surrounding teeth so they look natural and blend in with the rest of your smile.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the best choice for restoring missing teeth. Using a two-part design, dental implants bond permanently to the surrounding gum and jaw tissue, functioning as a replacement tooth root. Once this replacement root has healed, a porcelain crown is attached to the implant to function as an artificial tooth. Dental implants can easily last 30 years or longer, and they look and feel just like a real tooth.

Bridges

Dental bridges are a good alternative to dental implants, particularly for individuals missing two or more adjacent teeth. Two crowns are attached to your healthy teeth, and they are used to hold a “bridge” of false teeth in place, restoring your smile and preventing your teeth from shifting into the empty sockets.

Six Month Smiles Cosmetic Braces

Six Month Smiles uses tooth-colored brackets and wires to correct slightly crooked or gapped teeth, and move them into a better position in just six months. This cosmetic treatment is ideal for patients without significant orthodontic issues.

Patients with more severe bite issues or crooked teeth may also consider Invisalign, or traditional metal braces.
