Veneers |Porcelain Veneers | Dental Veneers Chatsworth CA

Teeth veneers are custom-designed ceramic shells that can be placed over the surface of teeth for correcting discoloration, repairing uneven spaces between teeth, for alignment, and for recreating chipped or cracked teeth. When placed properly, it is impossible to identify porcelain veneers from the natural set of teeth. Veneers are reasonably the best and the most popular choice for cosmetic dentists, as they can treat many dental conditions at once.

Teeth Whitening Chatsworth CA

Pearly white teeth are the building blocks of a healthy and glowing smile. Professional teeth whitening treatments have been very successful because they can help in improving the overall appearance of the face. Even if you are careful about the basics of dental care, such as brushing and flossing, some yellowness and discolorations are natural.

Discolored teeth make you look older. With professional teeth whitening procedures, the process can be reversed and you can smile more often and look young at the same time.

Porcelain Onlays Chatsworth CA

Porcelain onlays are custom-fitted porcelain shells attached to the covering of the problem areas of the teeth. Onlays are the most advanced solution for decayed and broken teeth. In such situations, they are the best replacement for composite fillings.

Unlike conventional tooth fillings that are molded onto the tooth, onlays are designed separately in the dental lab before they are fitted and bonded to the teeth in the dental office. As onlays leave the healthy teeth and gums untouched, they give you a more natural structure to the tooth, which is something you could not possibly achieve with traditional crowns.

Tooth Colored Filling Chatsworth CA

Earlier, amalgam fillings were considered to be the only options for filling cavities. However, composite resins or tooth-colored materials today are far better as an option for repairing this problem. It improves functionality and gives an esthetic appearance as well. Furthermore, porcelain inlays and onlays can be done in one single visit.

They are the best ways of restoring small and tiny cavities. Apart from being pleasant in appearance, composite resin fillings also don’t contain mercury, and that fortifies the structure of the tooth through bonding, which is another dental procedure. Because the silver filings have been known to cause extensive damage to the teeth, patients choose to replace these fillings before the condition aggravates.

Dental Bonding Chatsworth CA

Dr. Calvo together with Dr. Johnson strongly believes in using conservative methods for enhancing the smile of patients. Bonding is one such procedure that involves the use of composite resin material that can be given the desired shape by hardening the structure with special light.

Bonding is the perfect solution for removing discolorations, reshaping chips and cracks, and for filling gaps between teeth. This procedure is often used to enhance the overall appearance of one or more number of teeth. Also, it takes only one visit to complete the procedure.

Porcelain Dental Crowns Chatsworth CA

Porcelain crowns are an excellent solution for teeth that have sustained extensive damage. The procedure helps in eliminating discomfort while resting the strength of the teeth by using tooth-shaped coverings. Dental crowns usually seem to be noticeable and they are just not wanted. You should try the porcelain crowns, as these crowns can exhibit the natural contour and original tooth color.

Dental Bridges Chatsworth CA

A chipped tooth can be repaired, but a missing tooth is hard to replace. However, dental bridges now serve this purpose. It has been one of the greatest challenges to create something like this. At Smile Studio, LA, we combine two innovative techniques to deliver the most impressive results to our patients.

Recent developments in the “metal-free” implants, bridges and adhesion dentistry give dental professionals more options today for replacing a missing tooth. As the material used is metal-free, it also gives a natural and translucent appearance to the replaced tooth. Additionally, soft tissue management gives a false tooth a real feel, thus creating an illusion that the tooth has emerged from the gum just like a natural tooth.

Dental Implants Chatsworth CA

Permanent tooth loss occurs as a result of trauma, injuries, accidents, and diseases. In all such cases, patients must consider dental implants as a safe and functional option for replacement. We recommend implants, because it is the only procedure in which the neighboring teeth are not required for support.

Dental implants are tiny cylinders made of titanium that are neatly placed into the jawbones and fused. Once the titanium cylinders are secured in place, the artificial teeth will be individually anchored to the implant. For additional safety, dental implants can also be used with bridges or dentures. Also considered as an artificial root replacement system, dental implants are superior to extractions that allow the gums to grow over the particular area from where the tooth has been pulled off.

Dentures Chatsworth CA

There are a large number of people all across the world who do not have teeth in their lower and upper jaws. Similarly, there are many people who have been struggling to keep their dentures in place, particularly when it comes to the lower jaw. If you have also been experiencing similar problems, you probably know how embarrassing it can get. That’s not all; you simply cannot chew your favorite foods. Luckily, dentures can now work efficiently by stabilizing the dental implants.

Cosmetic Gum Re-Contouring Chatsworth CA

Gum problems are fairly common. For patients with imperfect gums, we offer gum re-contouring treatment that will give you a natural-looking smile line. This treatment is mainly used for correcting the gummy-smile syndrome that is characterized by a revealing or uneven gum line. When used with crowns and veneers, gum re-contouring can be a very effective treatment.

However, it can be implemented alone as well. The result is excellent!

Instant Orthodontics Chatsworth CA

Instant orthodontics is a popular treatment that helps in straightening crooked teeth and uneven smiles in two visits. By using porcelain veneers instead of conventional braces, the procedure will yield results within weeks, which would otherwise take months or sometimes years. Veneers are fine porcelain shells that are properly bonded to the outer surface of the teeth. In instant orthodontics, the procedure is used for straightening gaps in smiles.

Full Mouth Rejuvenation Chatsworth CA

Full mouth rejuvenation or full mouth reconstruction is an option for complicated dental needs; the procedure begins with dental analysis for identifying all the issues that affect the bite and smile. With all the information, dentists create an individual treatment plan for patients.
