Cosmetic dentistry might be all you need to achieve your desired smile. You can discuss the various cosmetic procedures to improve your smile with your dentist, Dr. Pauline Lu, in West San Jose, CA.
Snap-on Smile
If you're scared of painful invasive procedures to fix your teeth, the snap-on smile from your dentist might be perfect for you.
The snap-on smile offers you a painless cover for your dental defects. Your dentist will take a mold of your teeth to create the perfect smile for you.
Veneers and Lumineers
Your dentist can cover up cracks in your teeth and discoloration with veneers. She would first need to shave some of your enamel before cementing your veneers in place.
Lumineers like veneers are porcelain shells for your teeth. However, they're super thin and require minimal preparation before installation.
Your West San Jose, CA, dentist, Dr. Lu, can cover up your dental flaws with veneers or lumineers to achieve desired results.
Teeth Whitening
If you don't smile as often as you'd love to due to discolorations on your teeth, you might have a solution with cosmetic dentistry.
Your dentist will assess your teeth stains to determine if teeth whitening will be effective. Teeth stains from food and drinks typically respond well to professional teeth whitening.
You should have your new brilliant smile almost immediately after your in-office professional teeth whitening session.
Dental Implants
Accidents or tooth decay can steal a tooth or more from your mouth. Missing teeth affect your smile and your confidence.
Dental implants from your West San Jose, CA, dentist, Dr. Lu can help you regain your confidence and your smile.
Your dentist will begin your dental implant installation by assessing your jaw bone. Once she decides that you're a candidate for dental implants, you'll be scheduled for the surgical installation of your dental implants.
After the healing period, your dentist will install the crowns of your new dental implants.
Now your smile is complete again, almost like you never lost your tooth.
Missing, cracked, or discolored teeth are all features of your smile that you can correct with cosmetic dentistry. Schedule your appointment with your West San Jose, CA, dentist, Dr. Pauline Lu by calling (408) 260-0888.
