San Jose Cosmetic Dentist

Cosmetic Dentist Serving San Jose, Sunnyvale and the Bay Area

Cosmetic dentistry, sometimes called aesthetic dentistry, has experienced a rapid evolution since the early 1980s. The earliest cosmetic dentistry procedures were known as bonding, and were relatively primitive by today’s standards. The bonding technique allowed dentists to add tooth colored resin to enamel to change the shape, position, or color of teeth. Early bonding results were often dramatic, but these restorations were not durable and would darken over time.

What dentistry needed was a stronger bond and better restorative materials. Over the last 25 years bonding has continued to evolve and is now known as adhesive dentistry. Simultaneously, researchers have developed new porcelain restorations like porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns that are strong, beautiful, and very similar to enamel. It is the combination of adhesive dentistry and new porcelain restorations that make it possible to create today’s durable, natural smiles.

Cosmetic dentistry is no longer limited to bonding procedures. Improved techniques and materials are now available to achieve a new standard of aesthetic excellence. Discolored teeth can be white with teeth whitening. Crowded teeth can look straight with porcelain veneers. Gummy smiles and unsightly spaces can be reduced or eliminated with a smile makeover. Smiles can now be transformed to achieve a more youthful, attractive, and long-term result.
