Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. If you're unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, you may find yourself smiling less, covering your mouth, or feeling self-conscious in photos and social situations.

Here at Foothill Dental Care, our cosmetic dentistry treatments are designed to address many of these same concerns. While some are primarily aesthetic, others can also restore the structure and function of chipped, worn, or missing teeth. Depending on your needs and goals, your treatment plan may include veneers, teeth whitening, crowns, dentures, implants or full mouth reconstruction.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Options at Foothill Dental Care

• Teeth Whitening: If your teeth have become stained from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, or the effects of aging, professional teeth whitening can reduce certain types of discoloration and whiten your teeth.
• Veneers: Ever notice how some smiles suddenly look perfect? Veneers are often part of the answer. These thin, custom-made shells cover the front surfaces of teeth to improve their color and shape for a more uniform look.
• Dentures: Removable appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth or an entire arch, restoring your ability to chew and speak while giving you a more complete smile.
• Full Mouth Reconstruction: If you’re dealing with several dental concerns, such as severe decay, gum disease, tooth loss, or bite problems, you may need more than one procedure to address them. Full-mouth reconstruction combines different treatments into a comprehensive plan tailored to your needs, helping to enhance the health, function, and appearance of your smile.
• Crowns: Primarily a restorative procedure, crowns can also offer cosmetic benefits by rebuilding the shape of a damaged or weakened tooth so it blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
• Implants: Designed to look and feel like natural teeth, dental implants can replace lost or missing teeth while restoring your bite and chewing ability. For those who need a full-arch replacement, All-on-4 combines implant support with a complete set of teeth for greater stability and function.

Achieve a More Confident Smile with Foothill Dental Care

There isn't one treatment that is right for every smile. The best approach depends on your oral health, the concerns you want to address, and the results you hope to achieve. During a consultation at Foothill Dental Care, we take these factors into account as we discuss your goals and determine which options best fit your needs. While some people may only require one procedure, others can benefit from combining cosmetic and restorative dentistry to correct both the look and function of their teeth.
