Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing a person’s smile and oral function. It involves a range of dental treatments designed to tackle aesthetic issues, including misalignment, discoloration, gaps, or chips, helping you attain the smile you desire.

Different cosmetic dentistry options depend on your desired results and the process of getting you there. To help you determine the best choice for you, we will ask you the following questions during your initial consultation:

• What do you dislike or like about your teeth’s spacing, shape, color, or size?
• Are you satisfied with how much your teeth show when your lips are relaxed or when smiling?
• Do you want perfectly aligned and white teeth or prefer a more natural look with shade, shape, and color variations?

We encourage you to carry photos of your collected smiles, regardless of whether you like the smiles.

Some of the procedures we offer include the following:

• Dental bonding — Tooth bonding involves the application of composite resin material to the tooth’s surface to improve a smile. We use it to repair chips, change the color and shape of a tooth, and close gaps.
• Porcelain veneers — Porcelain veneers are water-thin laminates that adhere to the front side of the teeth. We use veneers to camouflage dental flaws like broken teeth, teeth that are too tiny, teeth discoloration that does not improve with teeth whitening, misshapen teeth, and diastema. You only qualify for veneers if you do not have gum disease or cavities. If you have a severe oral health challenge, we will first address it before exploring this cosmetic treatment.
• Clear aligners — As the name suggests, clear aligners are clear, thin, and made to fit dental trays. Clear aligners gradually shift misaligned teeth into their proper position, helping you achieve the dental structure of your dreams. Clear aligners are safe and do not cause discomfort.
• Teeth whitening

Restorative dentistry involves repairing or replacing your damaged, infected, cracked, or broken tooth, restoring its appropriate function and appearance, and improving dental health. Treating dental issues early also prevents more severe and expensive oral health issues in the future. Restorative dentistry addresses concerns like cavities, fractures, missing teeth, infections, and decay.

Some of the restorative dentistry options we offer include the following:

• Dental filling — A filling repairs cavities and fixes minor cracks and chips in the teeth. During the procedure, we will remove the decayed or damaged tooth tissue before filling the hole with dental filling material and using a curing light to harden the material.
• Dental crowns — A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that restores a weak, worn-down, decayed, or broken tooth. We also use it to cover dental implants and root canal-treated teeth. Agoura Hills Advanced Dentistry offers patients the convenience of same-day crowns. Thanks to our CEREC technology.
• Dental bridges — You can use a dental bridge to replace one tooth or a row of missing teeth. After determining that you qualify for the procedure, we will prepare your abutment teeth by removing some enamel. Next, we will take impressions of your mouth to create a mold and send it to a dental laboratory, where our lab technician will use it to make a bridge that fits your oral structure. Meanwhile, we will fit a temporary bridge to protect your gums and teeth. After a few weeks, we will replace the temporary bridge with a permanent bridge. Finally, we will check your bite and give you guidelines on caring for the dental bridge.
• Dental implants — Implants are surgically fixed in your jawbone and function as the roots of missing teeth. Since the titanium in your implants fuses with your jawbone, the dental implants will not slip or make noise.
• Dentures
