Arcadia Cosmetic Dentist Helps You Smile Pretty Again

At our office, we know that a great smile is about more than just the way it functions. Yes, we want you to be able to chew and speak well, but we also care about the way your smile looks. Misshapen, discolored or severely stained teeth just aren’t teeth you feel good about. This fall, don’t wait to do something for yourself. Your Arcadia cosmetic dentist can evaluate your teeth, listen to your goals and help you achieve the bright, beautiful smile you deserve — read on to learn about what options are available to you in cosmetic dentistry.

Cosmetic Bonding

If you’re older than, say, 23, chances are you have a few metal fillings in your mouth. They definitely don’t look like your natural teeth, do they? The good news is we now have tooth-colored fillings, so the next time you have a cavity, we can fill it without taking anything away from your all-white smile. These white fillings are also great for repairing small chips, closing spaces or covering stains on the teeth that show when you smile.

Tooth-colored fillings are an excellent option because they don’t contain mercury or metal, but they still provide you with the strong results you need to live your life — biting, chewing and speaking just the way you’re used to.

Laser Gum Lift and Reduction

Look in the mirror: do your teeth look smaller than you’d like? Is your gumline uneven? If so, you’re likely an excellent candidate for a gum lift or reduction. Often, too much gum covers the beautiful white crown of your teeth, and the result makes your smile look short and stubby. Fortunately, that problem is easily corrected simply by removing the excess gum with a gum lift or reduction.

We use Waterlase to correct problem gums — it’s a laser that makes gum surgery quick, precise and safe. The laser causes minimal trauma to the gums, eliminating the need for stitches and giving you the results you want, faster than ever!

Porcelain and No-Prep Veneers

Many people think of veneers as permanent tooth whitening. They cover the entire front surface of the tooth and can hide chips, stains and misalignments on several or just one damaged tooth.

In order to give you veneers that are just right for your mouth, Dr. Canzoneri will first evaluate your teeth and discuss your needs and goals. Before applying veneers, the teeth usually must be shaved down a little bit to make room for the new material. If they can be placed without preparation, though, Dr. Canzoneri will recommend no-prep veneers. What you receive will depend on your unique mouth, but the result is the same — a beautiful, sturdy, white smile you can’t wait to flaunt.

Teeth Whitening

If years of living have made your formerly white smile a little dingier than you’d like, we offer two whitening options — in-office and at-home — to get your teeth back to the pearly white you once knew. Our in-office treatment, Zoom! Whitening, can give you a dramatically whiter smile (up to ten shades!) in just one visit. But if you prefer more modest results over a period of time, take-home whitening kits provide the same great results in the comfort of your home.

Smile Makeovers

If several problems are preventing you from achieving a smile you feel good about, you’ll likely need more than one cosmetic procedure — and that’s what we call a smile makeover. It’s a multi-faceted approach that may include veneers, cosmetic bonding, teeth whitening, a gum lift, white crowns, white fillings or even replacement teeth. Everyone’s mouth is unique, and everyone’s makeover will be different. But in the end, you’ll have a new smile you’ll never want to hide again — we promise.
