Cosmetic Dentistry
When teeth need enhancement, there are cosmetic procedures that can be used. The procedure depends on the type of cosmetic problem that is involved. If you have staining on your teeth, our dentist in Burbank can do tooth bleaching that will remove all but permanent stains and will considerably brighten your teeth. Porcelain veneers, thin shells that are bonded to the surface of the teeth, can mask permanent stains. Veneers are also a way to hide other imperfections, such as wide spacing between teeth, chips, wear and oddly shaped teeth.
When a tooth needs building up, dental bonding is often used. Our Burbank dentist will also use bonding for situations where spacing between teeth is irregular and can be improved with the use of a bonding procedure.
If you have cavities, you need not worry about the fillings being obvious when tooth-colored composite material is used. This type of filling will blend in with the coloration of tooth enamel and will not show so that the tooth will appear whole and untouched.
Enhancing the teeth can greatly boost your self-esteem. Contact our cosmetic dentist in Burbank to see how you can change the way you smile.
Burbank Cosmetic Dentist
The problem of missing teeth can be remedied with dental implants and partial bridges. For a single missing tooth, an implant will be anchored in the gum with a crown attached. The replacement tooth will look perfectly natural, will stay in place and will function in the same way as a natural tooth. Partial bridges are used when more than one tooth is missing. A bridge will be attached to crowns that are applied to the teeth on both sides of the open area. With replacement teeth, you will be able to eat, chew and speak just as you did before.
Our cosmetic dentist in Burbank will use a porcelain crown when repairs are done to a damaged tooth and it needs strengthening. The crown will look just like your natural tooth and will act as a protective covering for it.
Even crooked teeth need not be a problem when Invisalign aligners can straighten your teeth invisibly. With our Burbank cosmetic dentist working on your smile, you will have teeth that you are proud to show off.
If you are tired or dull, stained or badly-shaped teeth, contact our Burbank cosmetic dentist and see how he can make your smile dazzling.
