Veneers - Lumineers

Veneers are thin laminates designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve your smile. They help with uneven tooth alignment, spaces between teeth, chips, cracks, worn and discolored enamel or stained teeth.

There are two types of veneers our dentist use: one is made out of porcelain and the other is made out of acrylic resin. This thin shell can create a fantastic and bright smile; and with proper care, can last up to 15 years.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is the best solution for a missing tooth (or teeth). Our dentist recommend this procedure to patients because it is simple, virtually painless, and efficient. The main advantage of dental implants is being able to perfectly replace lost teeth. The patient won't notice the difference between his natural teeth and the implant. It avoids having to wear prosthesis, and with proper care it may last longer than any other dental restoration.

Dental Implants are fabricated roots that are placed in the jawbone. The procedure doesn't hurt, however the patient may experience discomfort in the following days. The pain can be managed with common analgesics. Dental implants can enhance your self-esteem by providing a healthy and brighter smile that leaves you with an improved self-confidence.

Bonding

Bonding is a dental procedure in which composite resin is adhered to the tooth in order to improve the appearance of your smile. It repairs chips, cracks and broken teeth and also covers badly stained teeth.

When patients have gaps on their teeth, the bonding procedure can be used to fill in the space between them. Bonding is used in cosmetic dentistry because it gives a natural look by rebuilding your teeth and improving your smile.

The first step for the bonding procedure is the dentist choosing a composite resin that matches the natural color of your teeth. Our dentist in Glendale,CA prepares the tooth and applies the composite resin that is dried and hardened with a curing light. In order to give the tooth a good appearance, it is buffed and polished.

This procedure has many advantages such as: it is inexpensive, fast, relatively painless, long lasting and effective!

Dentures

Dentures are an artificial and removable extension that is used to cover the partial or total lack of teeth. Dentures can be removable or fixed and can also be complete or partial. Complete dentures are used on patients that are missing all of their teeth, while partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth still remain.

Dentures replace missing teeth and can help recover a beautiful and attractive smile providing a natural appearance. Dentures will last up to ten years.

Dental Restoration

A dental restoration is a procedure to restore missing tooth structure due to accidents or infections. Dental restorations can be made of different materials: metals, dental composites, glass ionomer cements and porcelain.

Dental restorations can be direct or indirect.

Direct restorations are those made directly on the tooth, while indirect restorations are those made externally and then placed on the tooth, such as crowns, bridges and veneers.

Dental implants are a restoration technique that is being widely used. The implants are attached with a screw to the mandibular bone. They preserve more of the natural tooth structure and last much longer than traditional dentures.
