Common Aesthetic Dental Problems

If you have ever looked in the mirror, and found some problems with the smile that you saw reflected there, you are not alone. Many dental patients come to see our Manhattan Beach cosmetic dentists because they want to address aesthetic problems with their smiles. The good news is that our dental team provides the high-quality, effective cosmetic treatment that these patients need in order to love their smiles again.

Let’s learn a little bit about how different treatment options can improve the appearance of your smile.

Straighten Teeth

If you suffer from misaligned (crooked/crowded) teeth, our dental team will help you straighten and perfect your smile. You can move your natural teeth into better positions using Invisalign orthodontic treatment. Or, you could cover your misaligned teeth with customized porcelain veneers, which will effectively resurface the contours of your smile.

Whiten Teeth

Now, let’s say that you have developed some dental staining and discoloration (a very common occurrence!). Again, you can improve the appearance of your natural enamel by using professional teeth whitening treatments. If, however, these treatments are not effective on your type of dental discoloration, you can cover dull/discolored teeth with porcelain veneers. If you simply need to lighten one or two teeth, you might benefit from dental bonding (which involves our dentist applying dental resin over your tooth).

Replacing Teeth

Patients suffering from tooth loss can reclaim strong, healthy, and complete smiles by undergoing dental implant treatment. Every dental implant has a titanium root, which replaces the natural tooth root. The titanium root grounds the replacement tooth in the patient’s jawbone; our dentist then caps the titanium root with an abutment and customized dental restoration.

These are just some of the things that our dental team can accomplish using state-of-the-art dental technology. To learn more, please feel free to call our Manhattan Beach dentist office, or use the Contact Us page on our website to submit a question.
