Boost your smile with cosmetic dentistry in Mission Viejo

While our general dentistry practice focuses on prevention and restoration of oral health, cosmetic dentistry gives people the kind of smiles they are eager to show off to the world. Since the appearance of your teeth has a large impact on how you feel in social or professional situations, a smile makeover is a great way to boost your appearance and your confidence.

Cosmetic dentistry is about improving the self-esteem of our patients. To accomplish this, you are included in the smile design process. Our smile makeover takes into consideration your facial appearance, skin tone, hair color, teeth (color, width, length, shape and tooth display), gum tissue and lips to develop your ideal smile. Smile makeovers are performed for many reasons and customized according to your unique considerations. Through listening and thoughtful planning, the doctors are able to make the best recommendations.

Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment. A dental veneer is a thin porcelain shell that is applied to the front surface of one or multiple teeth to correct severe discoloration, gaps, misshaped teeth, chips, and more. Porcelain veneers will not stain, and last for many years. Dental veneers can correct most every aesthetic concern you have about your teeth. Our patients may choose to have veneers fabricated in a lab or made immediately, right in our office using CEREC technology.

Teeth whitening is an effective way to quickly makeover a smile. Drs. Basti provide teeth whitening solutions customized for their patients unique situations. If you desire a brighter smile right away, you'll love our in-office treatment using Zoom! whitening. With Zoom!, bleaching gel is applied to teeth and treated with a special light to cause a chemical reaction. The result is a brand new, dazzling smile in just over an hour.

For patients who have higher oral sensitivity, at-home whitening may be the best option for an enhanced smile. At-home whitening starts with impressions that are used to fabricate custom trays. Once trays are created, you are given an at-home kit, complete with individual tubes of whitening gel and full instructions for use. You'll begin to see whitening right away, and full results in about two weeks.
