What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry describes the group of dental treatments that are dedicated to improving the aesthetics of your smile. Our team of dedicated professionals understands the importance of feeling comfortable and confident in your smile, and these treatments are designed to help you achieve just that.

We want every patient to have a healthy, beautiful smile they are proud to share in any setting—professional, social, or private. Cosmetic dentistry provides the treatments that can turn your smile into a true work of art.

What Types of Dental Problems Can Cosmetic Dentistry Address?

During your consultation at our Encinitas practice, Dr. Vakilian will listen to your aesthetic goals. If you are dissatisfied with the shape, size, position, or color of your teeth, we have a treatment plan that can address those concerns. Many of our Encinitas patients come to our office seeking to address:

Discolored Teeth
Worn Teeth
Chips or Cracks
Misaligned Teeth
Unattractive Metal Fillings
Gummy Smiles

Treatment Options

By the end of your cosmetic consultation, Dr. Vakilian will recommend one or more cosmetic treatments, based on your goals and budget. Then, your cosmetic treatment will be scheduled. Your treatment options may include one or more of the following:

Teeth Whitening

Professional Teeth Whitening for a Bright Smile

Patients who are satisfied with the shape and alignment of their teeth but wish to address stains or yellowed teeth can benefit from teeth whitening. There are a lot of products out there that promise a whiter smile. However, none of them can compare to the convenience, effectiveness, and results you receive with our professional teeth whitening services.

During your cosmetic consultation, Dr. Vakilian will describe the benefits of in-office or take-home teeth whitening treatments. Patients who undergo this cosmetic treatment can enjoy a smile that is several shades whiter.

Dental Bonding

Dental Bonding to Repair Damaged Teeth

Accidents happen and sometimes, that results in a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth. If this happens to one of your teeth and impacts your smile’s aesthetics, we offer dental bonding that can shape and repair damaged teeth so they look good as new.

Dental bonding, also known as cosmetic bonding, uses natural-looking composite resin to enhance or fill in areas of your teeth. Patients who have small gaps between teeth can benefit from this non-invasive treatment.

Invisalign

Invisalign Treatment for Straighter Teeth and a Healthier Smile

Having straighter teeth doesn’t only make for a more symmetrical and cosmetically pleasing smile, but it also improves oral health by making brushing and flossing more effective. If tooth alignment is your biggest cosmetic issue, you may be a great candidate for Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign uses custom-made trays to gently nudge your teeth into better alignment. There’s even a special type of aligner for teenagers.

Removable, nearly undetectable, and efficient, our Invisalign treatment allows you to address the most common orthodontic issues without any distractions. Once you are wearing the clear aligners, most people will not know you have them on.

Veneers

Veneers for a Brand New Smile

If you have misshapen teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, or severely discolored teeth, all of these issues and more can be dealt with by a single treatment: our beautifully crafted porcelain veneers. Veneers offer drastic cosmetic results by placing ultra-thin porcelain shells on the front of the anterior teeth.

Completely customizable so you can be sure you get the smile you want, our veneers can be bonded to your original teeth, which typically requires the removal of part of your tooth’s natural structure, leaving the treatment irreversible. This will provide an additional layer of protection and get you a beautiful, brand new smile.

Gum Contouring

Gum Contouring for Enhanced Balance

If you have an uneven gum line or have an excessive gingival display (commonly known as a “gummy smile”), safe and effective gum contouring can redefine your gumline. The results can leave the appearance of larger teeth and a more attractive smile.

This treatment is performed with advanced dental lasers for unparalleled precision and quick results. Dr. Vakilian uses advanced laser technology to remove small amounts of excess gum tissue. Laser technology allows Dr. Vakilian to perform the procedure with minimal bleeding and minimal recovery time.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

A beautiful smile brings many advantages that go beyond appearance. Here are some of the key benefits you can experience with cosmetic dentistry:

Boosts Confidence

A beautiful smile can increase self-confidence, especially when speaking in public or forming new relationships.

Creates a Positive First Impression

Your smile is often one of the first things people notice, and a row of white teeth can convey beauty, youth, and intelligence.

Reverses Signs of Aging

Cosmetic treatments can address damaged or missing teeth, helping you look younger and more rejuvenated.

CUSTOMIZED TREATMENT

Dr. Vakilian can create a personalized cosmetic treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
