Veneers can help protect your natural enamel.
First things first, you and your Poway dentist will speak candidly about how you feel about your smile. Dr. Leila will do everything you can to make sure you’re comfortable, and encourage you to speak honestly about any imperfections with your grin that make you feel self-conscious or that you would like to change.
To find out if you’re a good candidate for cosmetic services, will perform a thorough oral exam. For cosmetic treatments to be a success, it helps to start with a healthy set of teeth and gums, so your dentist will discuss your oral health with you and plan any restorative treatments you may require before beginning cosmetic care.
Once your consultation and exam have been completed, Dr. Leila will lay out all of your treatment options and outline a cosmetic treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and desired results. The treatment plan will help you to understand each and every step of your smile transformation.
Dr. Leila will provide you with an array of treatment options, and together, you’ll decide what’s best for your needs, and what suits your budget and lifestyle.
Once you’ve decided on your preferred treatment plan, we’ll schedule your next visit and answer any questions you may have about finances or our services.
Take-home teeth whitening allows you to brighten your smile without having to leave the comfort of your own home. With a take-home whitening kit, you’ll gradually whiten your teeth over the course of 2 weeks.
To ensure your reusable whitening trays fit perfectly, we will take impressions of your teeth and gums and custom-craft your trays.
Once the trays are complete, you’ll receive our whitening product, as well as detailed instructions for proper use and how to care for your trays. If you follow your dentist's directions, you’ll achieve the professional results your smile deserves.
For patients who desire a more dramatic transformation, in-office Zoom whitening might be right for you. In a single visit, you can brighten your teeth by up to 10 shades! The near-instant results will have you ready to show off your smile for any upcoming special occasions.
Dr. Leilawill begin by applying a special protective gel to your gums so they aren’t irritated by the whitening agent. To keep your cheeks and other soft-tissues in your mouth out of harm's way, retractors will be used to keep them away from your teeth. A powerful whitening agent will then be carefully applied to your teeth and then activated with a UV light.
Depending on how many shades brighter you’re going for, the whitening agent will be left on your teeth for up to an hour, before being rinsed away. For those with more advanced discoloration, the whitening process can be repeated several times over the course of multiple visits to achieve the results you desire.
Dental bonding is a non-invasive procedure that has the ability to transform your smile. Your dentist will apply a dental resin, color-matched to blend in with the rest of your smile, to your teeth. They will carefully sculpt the resin into the desired shape before hardening it with a UV light to enhance and restore the look, feel, and function of your grin. A relatively quick procedure, dental bonding usually takes about 30-60 minutes per tooth.
Shaping & contouring, also referred to as enameloplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that is often performed together with dental bonding. During the shaping & contouring procedure, a thin layer of enamel will be removed from uneven, chipped, or sharp teeth to achieve the desired shape.
Veneers can completely change the look of your smile, eliminating small gaps between teeth, as well as covering up the appearance of stained, misshaped, or uneven teeth. Veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-colored porcelain shells that are affixed to the front side of your teeth with a powerful dental cement.
Placing veneers begins with the removal of 0.5mm of enamel, so they can blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile. However, an important aspect to consider is that enamel does not grow back, making this an irreversible procedure. Still, veneers can completely redefine your smile and give you the confidence boost you deserve, and can last up to 15 years, with the proper care, before needing to be replaced.
Lumineers are an extra-thin type of veneers, coming in at less than half the width of their traditional counterparts. For a frame of reference, they’re actually only about as thick as a contact lens. Lumineers are adhered to the front side of your tooth to improve its shape, color, and overall appearance, and despite being extremely thin, they are still a durable and long-lasting cosmetic solution.
The primary advantage of Lumineers is that they don't require the removal of any of your natural enamel to be placed. This makes Lumineers a completely reversible procedure, unlike traditional veneers.
Cosmetic makeovers are personalized plans that utilize multiple treatment methods to address all of your smile needs. Because everyone is unique and may have different goals, the exact services included can vary widely between patients. Over the course of one or more appointments, a variety of cosmetic and restorative dental procedures will be carried out to help you achieve your dream smile.
Invisalign is a great way to align your smile without the hassle of traditional orthodontics. Instead of uncomfortable metal or ceramic brackets and wires, Invisalign utilizes a series of clear aligners made from a durable plastic called SmartTrack.
Because they’re removable, they don’t impose any dietary restrictions and are super easy to keep clean.Because of advancements in Invisalign technology, we are able to treat more complex orthodontic issues than ever before. Schedule a consultation today and find out if Invisalign can help you get the smile you’ve been waiting for.
White Spot Lesions (WSLs) are little white spots that form on the surface of teeth, and are common after orthodontic treatment. They can also be caused by an enamel defect, trauma, or infection, that result in the demineralization of teeth.
ICON resin treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that can help reduce the appearance of WSLs, even “erasing” them completely for some patients.
To rid your smile of unsightly white spots, your dentist will gently remove the outer layer of enamel, and then apply a special dental resin. The resin helps to remineralize de-calcified areas, and will even out the shade of your tooth. The resin will be cured and your teeth will be polished, and you’ll have your smile back in no time at all.
In-office whitening can brighten your smile by up to 10 shades in a single visit.
