San Jose Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Wesley Yemoto

San Jose patients choose cosmetic dental procedures/surgery for various reasons: to repair a defect such as an unaligned bite or crooked teeth, treat an injury, or just improve their overall appearance. Whatever the reason, the ultimate goal is to restore a beautiful smile. For these and many other reasons, cosmetic dentistry has become a vital and important part of the dental profession.

Common cosmetic dental procedures can be performed to correct stained, misshaped, worn, or missing teeth. Cosmetic dentistry can be used to change the overall shape of teeth including teeth that are short, too long, have gaps, or simply need to be reformed.

Some of the more common cosmetic dentistry procedures include:

• Invisalign Orthodontics- For over a decade now Invisalign has been the leader in offering all the benefits of orthodontic treatment without the embarrassment of metal braces.
• Dental Implant Restorations – Whether restoring a single tooth lost in an injury or creating a foundation to anchor your denture or partial to, dental implants are the strongest way to restore the strength of your natural smile while maintaing your jaw bone structure.
• Zoom Whitening  (sometimes called “bleaching”) – Whitening is a popular way to add youth and rejuvenation to a stained and aged smile. This simple procedure can make teeth shades whiter and brighter.
• Direct Resign Veneers (Advanced Bonding) – A procedure in which natural tooth-colored material is used to close gaps or change tooth color. Many times there is no need to prep nor reduce the existing tooth structure.
• Contouring and reshaping – A procedure that straightens crooked, chipped, cracked or overlapping teeth.
• Durathin Custom No Prep Veneers – Durathin Veneers is a cosmetic dental procedure in which ultra-thin (contact lens thin) coatings are placed over the front teeth. These veneers can change the color or shape of your smile. For example, Durathin veneers have been used to correct gaps, crooked, chipped, oddly shaped or stained teeth.
