Cosmetic Dentistry Services That Actually Work
Your smile matters more than you think
Maybe you’ve been covering your mouth when you laugh, or you avoid photos altogether. We get it – and we can help.
What Cosmetic Dentistry Really Does
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving how your teeth look, but here’s the thing… It often improves function too. We’re talking about procedures that fix chipped or cracked teeth, replace missing teeth, and yes, give you that confidence boost you’ve been wanting.
Think about it – when was the last time you smiled without thinking about it? That’s what we’re aiming for, and finding a reliable dentist in West Hollywood can help you achieve exactly that.
Porcelain Veneers: The Game Changer
Honestly? Veneers are one of our popular procedures. These thin shells cover the front of your natural teeth, fixing everything from chips to gaps to discoloration that just won’t budge.
The process takes a couple visits. We remove a tiny bit of tooth enamel (we’re talking paper-thin), take impressions, and have your custom veneers made. When they’re ready, we bond them permanently to your teeth.
Results typically last 10-15 years with proper care – though individual experiences vary. Not bad for something that completely transforms your smile.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Store-bought strips? Please. Professional whitening provides more dramatic and longer-lasting results than over-the-counter options.
We offer both in-office treatments and take-home kits. The in-office option brightens teeth several shades in one visit. Take-home kits work gradually over a couple weeks. Both are generally safe when performed professionally, though some patients experience temporary sensitivity.
Some patients see dramatic results, others more subtle changes. Depends on the type of staining and your natural tooth color. We’ll be honest about what to expect.
Fixing Chipped and Cracked Teeth
Accidents happen. Sports injuries, hard foods, grinding your teeth at night – lots of things can damage teeth.
Dental bonding works great for smaller chips. We apply tooth-colored material directly to the damaged area, shape it, and polish until it matches your surrounding teeth perfectly. Usually done in a single office visit.
Larger damage might need crowns or veneers, but we’ll explain all your options during consultation.
Replacing Missing Teeth
Missing teeth affect more than appearance. They can shift your bite, make eating difficult, even change how you speak.
Dental implants offer a natural-feeling solution for many patients. The implant post replaces your tooth root, then we attach a crown that looks and functions like your natural teeth. Other patients prefer bridges or dentures – depends on your situation, candidacy, and budget.
At Sargon Dental, we walk through every option so you can make the right choice for your lifestyle. Not everyone is a candidate for every procedure, so consultation helps determine what works best.
Dental Crowns for Strength and Beauty
Sometimes a tooth needs more than a filling but less than removal. Crowns cover the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth, protecting what’s left while restoring appearance.
Modern crowns use materials that match your natural teeth perfectly. Porcelain, ceramic, even metal-free options that look completely natural.
The procedure may require one or two visits, depending on the technology used – one to prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown, another to fit the permanent restoration.
What About Your Overall Oral Health?
Here’s something important: cosmetic procedures work best on healthy teeth and gums. That’s why we always address any underlying issues first.
Gum disease, cavities, worn enamel – these problems need attention before we start cosmetic work. Think of it as building a solid foundation.
Your general dentist might handle routine cleanings and checkups, but cosmetic procedures require specialized training and equipment. That’s where we come in.
Real Results Take Time
Look, we could promise instant transformations, but that’s not honest. Good cosmetic dental work takes planning, patience, and realistic expectations.
Some procedures like bonding happen in one visit. Others like veneers or implants require multiple appointments spaced over weeks or months. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront – no surprises.
Individual healing and results vary, so we monitor progress throughout treatment.
Cost and Payment Options
Cosmetic procedures vary widely in price. Simple bonding costs less than full mouth reconstruction with veneers and crowns.
We provide detailed treatment estimates before starting any work. Many patients use payment plans or financing to spread costs over time.
Insurance typically doesn’t cover purely cosmetic treatments, but procedures that improve function (like replacing missing teeth) often have partial coverage.
Why Choose Professional Care
YouTube tutorials and DIY kits might look tempting, but cosmetic dentistry requires precision and expertise. One mistake can damage healthy tooth structure or create problems that cost far more to fix later.
Professional treatment means proper diagnosis, quality materials, and long-term results. We stand behind our work.
