Cosmetic Dentistry

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a type of oral health care used to better the physical appearance of your teeth, gums, lips, and smile. Most cosmetic dentistry services are elective, but some can improve your ability to bite and chew as well.

At Silicon Valley Dental Associates, the team uses a variety of procedures to help people achieve the smile of their dreams. Some cosmetic dentistry services are quick and only require one appointment; others involve a series of procedures and several visits spaced weeks or months apart.

What is the cosmetic dentistry treatment process?

At Silicon Valley Dental Associates, cosmetic dentistry treatment begins with a free, in-office consultation. During this appointment, your provider conducts an oral exam, asks you about your goals for treatment, and explains the different options available. You also have an opportunity to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to speak up; your input plays an important role in the cosmetic dentistry process. 

Are there different types of cosmetic dentistry?

At Silicon Valley Dental Associates, the team offers a full suite of cosmetic dentistry services, including:

• Porcelain veneers

Each member of the Silicon Valley Dental Associates team has years of training consistent with that offered by the renowned Spear Institute. As such, they’re also able to perform smile makeovers. A smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic dentistry treatments to transform your smile.

To ensure the best possible results, the team works with a highly experienced laboratory team that assures each step is just right. This allows you to walk away with the smile you’ve always wanted.

What type of cosmetic dentistry will I most benefit from?

The type of cosmetic dentistry that will most benefit you depends on your oral health history and individual goals for treatment. The team at Silicon Valley Dental Associates develops a custom care plan after conducting a thorough oral exam and taking exterior and intraoral photos. They also take 3D and traditional X-rays to get a closer look at your jaw alignment and tooth roots. After gathering this information, they can recommend one or more treatments that will meet your needs. The result is a healthy, vibrant smile you can feel confident about.
