Cosmetic Dental Treatments in Ontario, CA

Cosmetic dentistry includes several approaches to improving the color, shape, alignment, and overall appearance of teeth. Explore our services below to learn how each treatment may help address different concerns.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored due to aging, food, drinks, and other factors. Professional teeth whitening can help lighten certain types of discoloration and refresh the appearance of your smile. Before whitening, your dentist can evaluate your teeth and discuss whether the treatment is appropriate for your needs. The results depend on the cause of discoloration and the condition of your teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are custom-made coverings bonded to the front surfaces of selected teeth. They may help improve the appearance of teeth with certain discoloration, shape, or minor alignment concerns. Veneers are planned to complement the surrounding teeth and your overall smile. Your dentist can explain the treatment process, expected maintenance, and whether veneers are a suitable choice for your dental health and goals.

Dental Bonding

For some minor cosmetic concerns, dental bonding offers a way to improve the appearance of a tooth using tooth-colored resin. Bonding may be used to address selected chips, cracks, discoloration, or irregularities. The material is shaped and polished to blend with the tooth. Your dentist can discuss the benefits and limitations of bonding, including its care requirements and the possibility of future repairs.

Clear Braces

Tooth alignment can affect both the appearance of your smile and how your teeth fit together. Clear braces and clear aligner treatment offer an alternative to traditional metal braces for certain alignment concerns. Clear aligners use a series of removable trays to gradually move teeth according to a treatment plan. Suitability depends on the type and complexity of the alignment issue, so an evaluation is important before beginning treatment.

Dental Inlays and Onlays

When a tooth has more extensive damage than a traditional filling can address, an inlay or onlay may be considered. These restorations repair a specific portion of a tooth and can help restore its shape and chewing surface. Depending on the tooth and the restoration selected, materials may include porcelain or composite resin. Your dentist can determine whether an inlay or onlay is appropriate based on the amount and location of the damage.

CEREC Dental Restorations

CEREC technology uses digital imaging and computer-assisted design to create certain custom dental restorations. Depending on the treatment needed, this technology may allow a tooth-colored restoration to be designed and produced in the dental office during a single appointment. CEREC can be used for selected restorations, including crowns and inlays or onlays. Your dentist can explain whether this approach is suitable for your tooth and treatment plan.

Choosing the Right Cosmetic Dental Treatment

The most appropriate treatment depends on what you would like to change and the condition of your teeth and gums. Whitening may help with certain stains, while bonding or veneers may address selected concerns with tooth shape and appearance. Clear aligners focus on tooth positioning, and inlays, onlays, or CEREC restorations may be considered when a tooth needs repair.

Not every treatment is suitable for every patient, and some concerns may have more than one possible solution. Dr. Stuart or Dr. Esparza can evaluate your smile, explain the available options, and help you understand the benefits, limitations, and ongoing care associated with each treatment.

Maintaining Your Smile

Good oral hygiene and regular dental examinations help support the health of your teeth and gums before and after cosmetic treatment. Brushing twice daily, cleaning between your teeth, and following your dentist’s recommendations can help protect your smile. Depending on the treatment you receive, you may also need specific maintenance or follow-up care.

If you have untreated cavities or gum disease, those concerns may need to be addressed before certain cosmetic procedures are performed. Maintaining oral health helps ensure that cosmetic treatment is planned with the condition of your teeth in mind.
