What Is Cosmetic Dentistry — and How Can It Help You?
Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry aimed at refining the appearance of your smile. At Perfect Smiles California, our dentists use the latest tools and technology to bring out the best in every smile we work on.
In many cases, our modern dentistry techniques not only create a more beautiful smile but also improve the functionality of teeth. When we make a chipped or misshapen tooth more attractive, we are often also improving your bite.
We offer more than purely cosmetic dentistry. For example, if you are missing teeth and need restorative care, our dental implants add both beauty and function to your smile.
The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
More Confidence
You deserve to feel good about yourself and your appearance. A stunning smile can help you regain your confidence. Whether you just need to brighten your smile with a teeth whitening treatment or need to replace missing teeth with dental implants, our dentists offer cosmetic and restorative treatments that will make you happy to share your smile.
Improved Oral Health
Broken or damaged teeth can negatively impact your health and increase the likelihood of cavities or infections. Cosmetic dental care can prevent those dangers. Even braces or clear aligners can improve your oral wellness, because straighter teeth are easier to brush. We're happy to go over the health benefits of cosmetic dentistry during your consultation.
Versatile Options
With cosmetic dentistry, no two patients—and no two treatments—are exactly the same. Our dentists can customize your plan to fit your needs, combining options like clear aligners and teeth whitening. That way, all your concerns can be addressed, and you can have a smile that you're truly proud to show off each day.
Which Concerns Can Cosmetic Dentistry Address?
First and foremost, it's important to understand that cosmetic dentistry requires a healthy foundation. If you have any active oral health issues, such as gum disease or tooth decay, we must address them before proceeding with any cosmetic work. Fortunately, we can meet virtually any need in-house. Once we have confirmed that you are in good oral health, cosmetic treatment can be used to address:
Stains and discoloration are common concerns for our Chula Vista patients. With options like dental bonding, teeth whitening, and veneers available, you can choose from a variety of discreet solutions.
Crooked teeth naturally occur for many dentistry patients. Using ceramic braces, clear aligners, or veneers, we can give you the straight and even smile that you've always wanted.
If your teeth do not fit together evenly when your mouth closes, you may have misalignment. Our dentists can treat misalignments like crossbites, underbites, and overbites using traditional or ceramic braces.
While some patients like the uniqueness of a gap between their teeth, others want a more uniform smile. We feature veneers, braces, and clear aligners to address this common cosmetic concern.
Do you have a tooth that's smaller than the others? Veneers and dental bonding can address a variety of insecurities focused around the shape and size of your teeth.
Our dentists can conceal light chips or cracks using dental bonding or veneers. If your tooth's functionality or structure is compromised, you may be a better candidate for a restorative dental crown.

Smile Confidently Again With Veneers
How Do Veneers Work?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that are applied to the front surfaces of teeth. Your dentist will remove about half a millimeter of enamel from the surface of the tooth so the veneer aligns naturally with your other teeth. If that idea causes a bit of anxiety, remember: our dentists have honed their skills with years of training in dental care.
How Do Veneers Improve Your Smile?
Porcelain veneers are ideal for creating the symmetry that is the hallmark of a beautiful smile. Once placed on a tooth, a veneer masks the imperfections in the tooth underneath. Perfect Smiles California's digital imaging technology allows our dentists to precisely design beautiful, natural-looking veneers for a stunning smile.
What Else Should I Know?
Because some enamel must be removed for veneers, you must have sufficient enamel to qualify for this cosmetic treatment. You should also understand that veneers are a lifetime commitment. You will need to replace veneers whenever they get damaged or worn. Typically, veneers can last as long as 10 or even 20 years with proper care.
Veneers Can Offer Stunning Results
Veneers are natural-looking and subtle, easily matching your natural enamel. Start smiling with veneers from our experienced Chula Vista dentists. We offer free veneer consultations, so it costs nothing to explore your options.
Dental Bonding
A Fast, Affordable Option
If your teeth need minor surface changes, you may benefit from dental bonding.
Perfect Smiles California, serving Chula Vista, National City, and Greater San Diego, can improve your teeth with a restorative dental bonding procedure.
Dental bonding can restore form and function to your smile by perfecting the size and shape of a damaged or misshapen tooth. Because bonding does not alter the natural tooth structure, it is less invasive than veneers and is reversible.
Bonding involves adding a tooth-colored resin to your teeth, matching the color of your enamel for a seamless blend with the rest of your smile.
On average, dental bonding lasts for about 5 to 10 years. This common dentistry procedure can offer dramatic results by:
- Filling in gaps between teeth
- Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
- Making teeth look longer
- Covering stains and discoloration
Need to Brighten Up Your Smile? Try Opalescence Teeth Whitening
At Perfect Smiles California in Chula Vista, our cosmetic dentists offer two options for whitening your teeth:
✔ In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you want quick results, opt for in-office teeth whitening.
Performed by your dentist, this cosmetic dentistry treatment uses hydrogen peroxide to safely and visibly brighten your smile by several shades.
Using our professional-grade solution, it may take only about an hour to brighten your smile.
✔ At-Home Teeth Whitening
We also offer take-home whitening that uses custom-fit whitening trays designed specifically for your teeth.
At home, you fill the trays with our professional whitening solution and wear them over your teeth as directed.
This method takes a bit longer than our in-office treatment, but some patients prefer the convenience of at-home whitening.
Looking for a Faster Track to a Beautifully Aligned Smile? Consider Quick Aligners
Perfect Smiles California has a solution: Quick Aligners.
Our cosmetic dentists make fast work of orthodontics with our innovative Quick Aligners solution.
Quick Aligners are metal or ceramic braces that efficiently reposition your teeth. They move your crowns and roots at the same time with a unique triangular bracket.
If you want long-term results with less treatment time, Quick Aligners can act faster than traditional braces or Invisalign®. Orthodontic treatment with Quick Aligners typically takes between three months to year, which is about half the time of traditional braces.
Quick Aligners typically require fewer adjustments compared to typical braces, so you won't have to carve as much time out of your day for dental appointments.
We Feature Multiple Types of Clear Aligners
In addition to offering traditional braces, our National City-area dentists also use a variety of clear aligners. These options, like FastBraces, Damon Braces, and ClearCorrect, are excellent and even superior alternatives to Invisalign. We'll help you find the one that best fits your needs and budget. Until then, take a look at how the process works at our Chula Vista practice.
Want To Know More About These Treatments? Let's Get Started With a Consultation
It's time to take the first step towards a stunning smile. From clear aligners to veneers, if any of our cosmetic dental care options sound interesting to you, we're here to help you explore. Contact our cosmetic dentists to see if you're a good candidate.
