What Do Cosmetic Dentists Do?

Do you desire a whiter smile or have teeth that need to be replaced? If so, our doctors at Alta Loma Dental Care offer a variety of procedures to improve your smile. While general dentistry addresses problems that require necessary attention, cosmetic dental services are usually requested by the patient. Allow us to explain a little bit about the cosmetic procedures we provide.



  • Veneers – veneers are usually made of porcelain and resemble tooth enamel. These thin “shells” provide strength and resilience to prevent chips and cracks in the teeth or correct ones that are already there.



  • Whitening – This procedure speaks for itself. Whitening, also called bleaching, use a safe whitening agent that enhances a tooth’s color by 1-2 shades. Tooth whitening can be performed in the office or at home.



  • Bonding – Dental bonding is used to repair chipped teeth – materials can range from porcelain or a composite resin and is made to match the color of your tooth.



  • Inlays and Onlays – Inlays and Onlays are used to provide a filling to teeth that have been decayed or have experienced structural damage. They usually require an impression of the mouth and are created in a dental laboratory before being placed.
