The Benefits of

Personalized Smile Design
No two smiles are the same. That’s why we tailor each cosmetic treatment to your goals, facial features, and oral health. From digital previews to final results, your smile is uniquely yours.
Improved Confidence and Quality of Life
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about appearance, it’s about how you feel and function. At its best, cosmetic treatment starts with uncovering the root cause of aesthetic concerns. Whether it's wear from grinding, bite misalignment, or past dental trauma, addressing these underlying issues not only improves your smile’s appearance but also supports better function. Patients often report greater self-confidence, strong first impressions, and even more career opportunities after treatment.
Long-Lasting, Natural-Looking Results
We use premium materials and partner with expert ceramists to ensure your restorations look and feel like natural teeth. With proper care, your results can last for many years to come.
The Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Process
Consultation and Smile Planning
Research shows that the simple act of smiling is good for your health. And the more you love your smile, the more you’re likely to show it off. From teeth whitening and veneers to complete smile design, we can help you achieve the beautiful, natural-looking results of your dreams. And with a minimally-invasive, science-based approach, you can preserve and even enhance your oral health in the process.
Treatment Preparation
Next, we’ll carefully prepare your teeth based on your unique cosmetic treatment plan. This might include gentle reshaping, polishing, or surface preparation to ensure the best possible outcome. We’ll then take detailed digital impressions or scans to design your custom restorations, whether you're getting veneers, bonding, or another aesthetic enhancement. If needed, we may place temporary restorations to protect your teeth and give you a preview of your new smile while the final work is being completed. To ensure a seamless fit, your dentist will gently remove a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth. We’ll then take highly accurate digital impressions, which are sent to the lab to create your custom veneers. In the meantime, we’ll place a digitally designed prototype crafted to reflect your future smile so you can “test drive” your new look. Unlike traditional temporary veneers made from your existing teeth, our process involves the lab from the very first step, utilizing your digital records to create a preview of your future smile. While most patients are thrilled from the start, this extra step gives you the chance to share any feedback before we move forward with the final restorations, ensuring great results. It’s just one more way we make sure you feel confident every step of the way.

Final Placement and Smile Reveal
Once your restorations are ready, we’ll make final adjustments and bond them into place with expert precision. We’ll check your bite, polish the final result, and walk you through personalized aftercare. To celebrate your new smile, we also offer an optional in-office photoshoot and we’re happy to send you the images to use for updated headshots, social profiles, or just to share your transformation with confidence. Most importantly, you’ll leave our South Bay-area office with a smile that feels just right, for you.
