What Procedures Are Considered Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry treatments are used to improve the appearance of a patient’s teeth and smile. While appearance is the primary purpose of a cosmetic treatment, in some cases, the procedures also improve the function of the teeth and overall dental health. Some popular cosmetic dentistry services include:

• Teeth whitening
• Porcelain veneers
• Crowns
• Orthodontics including traditional braces and Invisalign

Each person has different goals and expectations for cosmetic treatments. Dr. Rathee will provide a thorough consultation to understand what each patient wants to achieve and will make recommendations for the best possible results.

What is a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction is when a number of dental treatments are implemented at the same time or consecutively to make improvements to a patient’s smile, gums, and teeth. These treatment programs are created by the dentist and are aimed at restoring the cosmetic and functional aspects of the entire mouth. A full mouth reconstruction helps patients who have several dental concerns which they want to fix such as discoloration, teeth crowding, chipped teeth, and gaps. Whatever treatments are necessary to meet the patient’s needs are used to achieve a totally reconstructed and improved smile.

How Will I Know What Treatment is Right for Me?

Dr. Rathee provides a comprehensive assessment to review what you want to change and how you want your smile to appear at the end of the treatment. She will provide you with advice and suggestions for the best types of treatments to suit your individual dental goals. She will answer any questions you have about the different procedures to help you understand and make the best choices. The condition and health of your teeth will influence the decision regarding the best procedure for your needs, especially if there is any damage or decay present that might need to be repaired before a cosmetic procedure. Some key questions to discuss with the dentist can include:

• What will my teeth look like following the treatment?
• What will the treatment entail?
• How many appointments will be required?
• What type of maintenance will be required?

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is perhaps the most common cosmetic dentistry procedure at Anita Rathee, DDS. Even the most beautiful smile can appear unhealthy or dull when teeth are stained or yellowed. In as quickly as one brief session, our patients can enjoy smiles that are up to ten shades brighter. There are many over-the-counter products available to whiten your teeth at home, but these products cannot match the whitening strength of the professional-grade treatments provided at Anita Rathee, DDS.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically inserted into a patient's jawbone to support permanent replacement teeth. Unlike dentures, dental implants never need to be removed for cleaning, and they allow for more comfortable eating and speaking. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Rathee to find out if you are a candidate for dental implants.

Restorative Dentistry

At Anita Rathee, DDS, we provide the latest advances in cosmetic dental techniques. Cosmetic dentistry includes more than just whitening teeth, it includes veneers, bonding, gum recontouring, crowns, bridges and fillings. Many of Dr. Rathee's patients combine a number of cosmetic dentistry procedures to achieve the ultimate in smile design. For example, a patient may choose to eliminate the "gummy" appearance of his or her smile with gum recontouring, and then enhance the results with a teeth whitening session.

To learn more about the cosmetic opportunities available to our patients, we encourage you to make an appointment to consult with a member of the Anita Rathee, DDS team at our West Hills office.
