Cosmetic Dentistry Services that Dazzle

Here are some of our most popular cosmetic offerings at Dental Specialists of California:

• Gum Treatment with Laser Therapy — Conditions like excessive gum tissue, also known as a “gummy smile,” are easily correctable with laser therapy. Gums are re-contoured and a beautiful, more youthful smile is the result. Laser gum therapy can also be used to change the color of gum tissue that is darkened by excess pigment.

Laser gum therapy is a highly effective means of reducing gum tissue or changing the color of gums. It is much less invasive than older techniques and most patients who undergo this form of treatment experience more rapid recovery times and minimal discomfort.

• Esthetic Smile Designs — Rather than a single procedure or treatment, esthetic smile designs embody multiple techniques carefully selected to give you the smile you want and the oral health and functionality you need. By opting for esthetic smile designs, patients can expect a new and gorgeous smile that is as healthy as it looks. With the help of top-tier professionals across multiple disciplines, including ceramists and our own Dr. Verdi, patients receive a smile that fully harmonizes prosthetics with existing structures.

Only the most advanced dental technology, including state of the art virtual imaging, is used in esthetic smile designs. Patients can look forward to a seamless integration between existing teeth and facial structure with the new prosthetics.

• Teeth Whitening — Whiter, prettier teeth are coveted but exceptionally hard to maintain, and perhaps even harder to obtain again once the natural luster is lost due to aging, staining foods and drinks, and other factors. Dr. Verdi offers a variety of treatments that patients can receive treatment in-office or at home.
• In-Office Treatment: The fastest and most dramatic results still come from in-office procedures. Dr. Verdi’s office-based teeth whitening can take as little as 30 minutes and is perfectly safe for most patients. However, not everyone is a candidate and the doctor will discuss with you whether these kinds of treatments are a good idea in your specific case.
• Verdi’s At-Home Tray Whitening Treatment: Patients who prefer to receive their teeth whitening treatment at home can choose this option while receiving the same results as an in-office treatment over a somewhat longer period. These plastic trays are custom made specifically for your teeth. Used as directed, they should brighten your teeth beautifully and very safely. A little bit of patience may be required, but this option allows you to relax or work in the comfort of your home while wearing your personalized trays.
• The Dr. Verdi Combo: If you’re unsure whether you should choose the in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments, why not get both? By combining both treatments, you can expect dramatic, proven, and lasting results that are tailored to your needs. With proper upkeep, your teeth will retain their new luster for years to come.
• Veneers — The “Hollywood smile” is not just for movie stars anymore. Patients who are looking for a beautiful younger-looking smile may benefit from veneers. Veneers are ideal for fixing disproportionate teeth sizes or discolored teeth and hide unsightly hues, stains, chips, or breaks. Installing veneers is not just gluing a small plate onto a tooth. They must be emplaced in a way that doesn’t compromise the function of the tooth or look unnatural.

With Dr. Verdi, you can count on a dentist who has fully mastered her craft and cares just as much about the final result as you do. She designs and fabricates the veneers with an in-office ceramic that closely mimics natural teeth and creates facial harmony through the smile.

• Invisalign — Crooked teeth can cause a non-functional bite and esthetic concerns. Invisalign aligners, however, present a mean for adults and teens to get a more functional bite and straighter smile using a subtle, almost-invisible approach that few will notice. Even better, clear aligners are removable — which is perfect for preventing food from getting stuck in between the teeth and the aligner, making proper oral hygiene a great deal easier.

The process for getting Invisalign aligners is simple and only requires an initial consultation, a fitting, confirmation, and follow up visits to obtain new aligners as your teeth become straighter. In most cases, patients obtain their final results in as little as six to 18 months.
