Getting Your Dream Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry in Torrance

Smile and the world smiles with you. It’s a famous quote, and so true. Studies show that we all respond to people with beautiful smiles. But, is the opposite true? Think about it. When a person has an expressionless face when you greet them, do you feel positive toward them?

Sadly, many individuals just can’t smile because they are ashamed of their teeth and gums. Gaps, discolorations, chips, and poor alignment contribute to a poor self-image. However, there’s hope through cosmetic dentistry from Blue Coast Dental Group in Torrance.  Teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign and ClearCorrect aligners are all part of the array of services offered by Dr. Sanaz Hamzehpour and Dr. Peter Refela.

A New Smile Begins with a Discussion

In professional terms, this discussion is called a cosmetic dentistry consultation. With an oral exam, X-rays and other imaging, the dentist can offer a personalized treatment plan which improves tooth color, alignment and bite, configuration and other factors which blend together for a great look. Patient input in the process is important. Dr. Hamzehpour and Dr. Refela want to understand the individual’s realistic goals for his or her smile. Plus, they wish to ensure that a mouth is free of gum disease and decay before beginning any smile makeover.

Aesthetic Services

Blue Dental Group offers several aesthetic dental treatments. The dentists combine them into a complete smile makeover, addressing many issues, or if the patient wishes, he or she may take advantage of just one treatment or one treatment at a time as schedule and budget allow. Here are examples of what the team at Blue Dental Group uses to produce dazzling smiles.

Porcelain veneers Also called dental laminates, porcelain veneers are translucent, tooth-shaped shells of dental porcelain. Permanently placed over etched tooth surfaces, porcelain veneers cover chips, deep stains, spaces, mild crookedness and other defects. Additionally, veneers make teeth more durable. They are placed in two or three visits and last for ten years or more with good in-office and at-home hygiene.

Professional teeth whitening Performed in the office in about an hour, or more gradually over a week or two at home, teeth whitening improves tooth color by several shades. Utilizing powerful hydrogen peroxide gel, teeth whitening lifts out the organic material which holds stains from food, beverages and smoking. Safe and effective because it is professionally supervised, teeth whitening produces dramatic results that last with good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups.

Invisalign and ClearCorrect aligners Both orthodontic systems correct smile problems such as gaps, overbite, underbite, crossbite and more. Clear, removable and smooth, these customized appliances move teeth into healthier and more attractive positions in less time than traditional metal braces. They are suitable for teens and adults who enjoy their practically invisible appearance and ease of care.
