What can cosmetic dentistry do for women and men?

  • Dr Don Mungcal
  • Cosmetic Dentistry
happy family photo

An ethical dentist applies concern for aesthetics to virtually every procedure. We want to reinstate the attractiveness of my patients’ smiles, as well as their chewing function, each time a restoration is performed. However, we get very excited about the opportunity to transform a healthy smile with cosmetic dentistry for patients in Los Angeles, California. We see the incredible impact it has on their lives, self-image, and success.

Teeth whitening

Whitening is an economic “gateway” cosmetic treatment. Once patients see how brighter teeth light up the entire face, they often decide to take further smile enhancement steps. We offer two options for fast in-office whitening (Zoom! and KöR) and a professional take-home whitening kit.

Tooth-colored fillings

Most people are amazed at the difference in their smiles when old dark fillings are replaced with restorations that blend beautifully.

Dental bonding

Bonding is a tooth-colored material that is versatile and economical. We primarily use bonding to reshape teeth and close spaces.

Veneers

Porcelain veneers can create subtle or dramatic changes in the smile. A single tooth may be veneered, but commonly four, six, or eight “smile teeth” in the upper arch are treated. These thin layers have the luster of natural tooth enamel. They hide deep discoloration, chips, cracks, pits, and bumps in enamel. Veneers improve the shape and size of teeth and cover wear. They can also serve as “instant orthodontics,” correcting the appearance of minor misalignment.

Crowns

A porcelain crown can be used to improve the shape and color of a tooth or to top a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.

Invisalign

With Invisalign clear aligners, you look good while you get a straight, even smile.

Call Downtown Dental at 213-863-9464 to set up a cosmetic dentistry consultation. We work with patients in Los Angeles, CA, to develop customized treatment combinations that fit their busy schedules and budgets.
