Cosmetic Dentist Morgan Hill

Veneers

Veneers are small coverings made from porcelain that can be bonded to the outer surfaces of teeth, immediately improving their appearance and masking any undesirable flaws or imperfections. Though the process for placing them does require slight alteration to the existing teeth, it’s safe, painless, and undeniably worthwhile. Veneers can address a wide range of aesthetic issues including chipped and cracked teeth, gaps between teeth, stubborn stains, and more – and they look beautifully natural!

Metal-Free Restorations

Traditionally, dental restorations have been made from different types of metals, usually collectively referred to as metal amalgam. Though durable, this material is often silver/gray in color, meaning it looks nothing like your original teeth! Here at Morgan Hill Dental Care, we’re excited to offer an alternative to these metal fillings that’s just as effective, but noticeably more natural-looking. These metal-free restorations are made from beautiful, resilient materials that can last for several years while also allowing you to smile confidently!

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Cosmetic bonding, sometimes simply referred to as dental bonding, is one of the most versatile cosmetic treatment options that we offer here in our Morgan Hill dental office. It involves using a small amount of composite resin that is carefully molded and shaped over existing teeth, immediately masking any present flaws. The resin can also be shaded to match your natural teeth, and once it’s been placed, it can be hardened with a special curing light to ensure that it lasts for several years.

Teeth Whitening

These days, does your smile seem a little duller than it used to? If so, you might be wondering if teeth whitening can bring its former glory – and it absolutely can! Our practice offers two methods of teeth whitening: in-office whitening and take-home kits. The former is performed here in our office using professional-grade whitening agents. This process is quick and can manifest results rapidly. Take-home whitening kits are just as effective as in-office treatment, but with the added benefit of flexibility; patients can whiten their teeth on their own schedule and from the comfort of their home.

Gum Recontouring/Crown Lengthening

Do your gums cover up more of your teeth than usual? This issue, commonly referred to as a “gummy smile,” can certainly lead to confidence issues since your smile won’t look naturally symmetrical. But what’s worse is that it can also heighten the risk of certain oral health issues like tooth decay and gum disease. Thankfully, we can utilize a quick and straightforward process called gum recontouring (sometimes called crown lengthening) to reshape your gumline and ensure that the crowns of your teeth are the appropriate length.

Smile Makeovers

Some patients feel discouraged by the state of their smile and worry that there’s simply too much that needs to be done for them to enjoy a beautiful, picture-perfect grin. These situations often call for a smile makeover. This involves evaluating your smile, as well as your goals for it, and coming up with a personalized and streamlined treatment plan that includes multiple cosmetic (and sometimes restorative) dentistry services. Our practice utilizes digital smile design for this process to ensure that your results are up to your standards – we want you to be happy with your new grin for many years to come!
