Dennis Baik, DDS is at your service not only to maintain your overall oral health but also to help improve your smile. We offer cosmetic dentistry in San Jose with the goal of giving you the stunning, natural smile you’ve always dreamed of.
We will examine your teeth, take X-rays, and discuss the goals you have for your smile. These appointments are an excellent opportunity for us to get to know you and learn more about your lifestyle. The more we know, the better recommendations we can make regarding what type of dental work will be in your best interest to consider. Many patients do not realize that there are several ways to address even the most common aesthetic and health issues. There is no one-size-fits-all answer in cosmetic dental care, but rather, customized solutions for your particular needs.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the appearance of teeth and smiles. Some of the most common procedures include veneers, tooth whitening, and dental bonding. These procedures help treat many teeth appearance problems, including broken, chipped, and stained teeth.
Cosmetic dental services also help improve unaligned, crooked, and unevenly shaped teeth. If you have noticeable teeth gaps or a smile that shows too little or too much gum, cosmetic dentistry has several treatment options to help you.
At Dennis Baik, DDS, we offer cosmetic dental services to patients with healthy teeth and gums. Otherwise, we advise that you get treatment for any gum or tooth problems you may be having before having a smile makeover.
Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments in San Jose
Dr. Baik has the expertise and proficiency in cosmetic dentistry operations to help you attain a smile that is more balanced, symmetrical, and aesthetically pleasing. Below are the common cosmetic dentistry procedures that we offer at Dennis Baik, DDS:
- Bioclear Dental Bonding – This is a dental bonding technique that uses composite filling material mixed with plastic matrix to strengthen a tooth. Compared to conventional bonding, the combination is stronger and more accurate. Bioclear bonding can be used to hide small cracks, chips, and stains on your teeth.
- Teeth Whitening – At Dennis Baik, DDS, we recommend professional teeth whitening as one of the first procedures you try. By whitening your teeth, you can remove signs of aging, along with any stains. We can complete this treatment right away, and give you quality results that you can be immediately proud of. While store-bought whitening kits work, they provide a less dramatic result and take longer to work, making an in-office solution the preferred option among our patients.
- Veneers – One of the most common dental cosmetic procedures is the placing of dental veneers. This type of cosmetic dental care is popular because of the variety of issues it can correct. A veneer is a thin shell that bonds to the surface of the tooth. We will only need to remove a small portion of the enamel before the bonding procedure, making veneers less invasive than placing dental crowns. Veneers can create beautiful smiles for everyone, including celebrities, college students, brides, and grandparents.
- Crown Lengthening – Some people have very thick gums or “gummy smiles” from birth. Our dentist will remove extra gum tissue during a crown lengthening surgery to give your gum line a more balanced, symmetrical appearance and show more teeth structures.
- Gum Contouring – When you have an uneven gumline or your teeth appear very long when you smile, gum contouring helps make your smile even. The treatment adds more tissue to your gumline by taking some from other parts of your oral cavity.
- Dental Implants – At Dennis Baik, DDS, we often discuss the benefits of dental implants with our patients. It is important to deal with tooth loss as soon as possible. After losing the tooth, the jawbone will no longer receive stimulation from that area. Without stimulation, the body begins to think the jawbone is no longer necessary and leaches calcium from the area. This process of resorption can lead to devastating changes in the face, creating a sunken appearance.
Dental implants are the best solution for preventing this since an implant replaces both the tooth and root. The result is a tooth that looks, feels, and behaves entirely natural. If you lead an active lifestyle and do not want to be constrained by tooth loss, dental implants are the best option for you.
