Many patients who want to improve their smiles may benefit from one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the beauty and appearance of one’s smile. Patients with attractive smiles often have more confidence and better self-esteem. Attaining the perfect smile is simple with a cosmetic dentist such as Dr. Lokhandwala of StarBrite Dental in the San Jose area.
Dr. Lokhandwala offers a state-of-the-art practice that provides a wide range of cosmetic services to help patients improve their smiles. Every patient is unique, as are his or her dental concerns. A cosmetic dentist may suggest just one specific cosmetic procedure or use several for optimum results. Here are a few of the standard treatments used for a smile makeover:
DENTURES
Patients who have experienced tooth loss may benefit from the placement of dentures. Patients can choose from partial dentures for the loss of several teeth or full dentures for the loss of teeth in the entire dental arch.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
Implants are another consideration for patients who have struggled with tooth loss. This surgical treatment offers patients the ultimate results. The implant is inserted into the jawbone for strength and stability, and this option is unsurpassed by other tooth loss restorations.
ORTHODONTICS
Dr. Lokhandwala offers common orthodontic treatments through her practice such as Invisalign. These can assist patients in improving the alignment of their dental arch for a more beautiful smile.
DENTAL CROWNS
A single appointment is all it takes to make a dental crown with the in-house iTero scanning technology and modern Glidewell milling machines. Chipped or cracked teeth benefit from this restoration.
VENEERS
Dental veneers are made of porcelain and bonded to the front of the teeth to change the way the tooth appears. They can be used on one tooth or several teeth, depending on a patient’s needs and desires.
