Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

There are many benefits to cosmetic dentistry, and changing your smile can boost self-esteem and improve your overall quality of life. Many people are embarrassed to smile when they are in front of others, and a new and improved smile will allow you to feel confident. We offer various services and can help restore the most severe cases. Our patients trust Turlock Dental Care and we ensure only the very best care for all of our patients.

Improved Self-Confidence

If you have missing, cracked, or discolored teeth, this can cause embarrassment or affect your self-confidence around others. Many people are self-conscious when they speak or talk because they are not happy with their smiles. Cosmetic dentistry can help replace missing teeth or address discoloration to improve your quality of life and allow you to eat all of the foods you love.

Function is Improved

Restoring your smile will allow you to chew your food easier, and this will lead to a healthier diet. Turlock Dental Care can help restore the function of your teeth and mouth so you can properly chew and speak. We have many teeth replacement options to choose from and can help you choose which option will work best.

Dental Health Improvement

If your teeth are cracked or have decayed, your oral health and overall health can be affected. Addressing issues with your teeth can help improve your dental health and give you a beautiful-looking smile. Cosmetic services such as dental crowns or white fillings can keep teeth free of decay and protect your natural teeth. Our team can help assess your smile and determine which cosmetic procedures are best. Cosmetic dentistry along with proper dental hygiene can help keep your teeth feeling and looking great for years.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be Cost-Effective

Addressing issues with your teeth early on can prevent complications and future visits to the dentist. Cosmetic dentistry can address problems and restore your smile to a healthy state. Solutions such as dental implants can help protect gum tissue and promote bone regeneration. Implants can keep adjacent teeth in place and avoid deterioration or a sunken-in look as you age. Cosmetic dentistry can save you a lot of time and costly appointments in the future if you address the problems early on.

Common Issues Where Cosmetic Dentistry Can Help

Turlock Dental Care can help restore your smile whether you require a complicated or simple correction.

Our detailed consultation process will include an exam, images, and a review of your health history to determine which cosmetic options will work best. Turlock Dental Care always makes the process easy and can work with each patient to choose cosmetic options that fit both your needs and budget.

Chipped or Cracked Teeth

If you have a chipped or cracked tooth or have sustained an injury, cosmetic dentistry can help. Dental bonding, veneers, and crowns can fix a cracked or chipped tooth. Dental bonding uses a composite material that can fill in gaps or restore a chip in a tooth. Veneers are bonded to the front of teeth and can help fill in gaps, or correct misshapen teeth. Crows are used to restore a tooth that has been damaged from decay or save a tooth that lacks stability. The crown is placed on top to seal the tooth and protect the natural tooth from further deterioration.

Stained Teeth

Stained teeth can be addressed with a professional or at-home whitening treatment that produces exceptional results. If your teeth are severely stained or discolored from tobacco use or prescription drugs, dental veneers can be placed over the front of your teeth to restore your smile. Veneers are made to match the color of your natural teeth and look aesthetically pleasing.

Misaligned or Gaps Between Teeth

If your teeth are misaligned, crooked, or have gaps, cosmetic dentistry can help correct these issues. Orthodontics such as clear aligners or braces can correct crooked or misaligned teeth. Veneers are another cosmetic solution to help fill in gaps, lengthen teeth, and realign teeth to give a straight appearance. Veneers cover your natural teeth and can restore a smile quickly.

Let our friendly team at Turlock Dental Care help you get that smile of your dreams. Our doctors provide care for the entire family, and always make patients comfortable when they visit our office. Don’t live with a smile you are not happy with. Take that first step and contact Turlock Dental Care today.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are made out of porcelain and are shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. Veneers blend in nicely and match the shade and color of your natural teeth. Veneers can help with misshapen, stained, uneven, or chipped teeth, and can restore your smile. They are durable and can last for years if they are cared for properly. To apply the veneer, we gently remove a layer of your tooth enamel. Impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a lab where the veneers are made. Once the veneers are ready, our doctors will place the veneers and ensure a perfect fit. We recommend a follow-up visit to ensure your veneers still feel and look great. Veneers are great for patients looking for a non-invasive and cost-effective solution to a bright white smile.

Patients must wear the aligners for the required amount of time each day, and the trays can be easily removed for cleaning and eating.

Braces

Turlock Dental Care offers braces to patients of all ages, and our treatment can help correct issues and get in front of problems early on. Whether you have a child that requires orthodontics, or you have lived with crooked teeth for years and are ready for a solution, Turlock Dental Care can help. Traditional braces are a great way to correct a smile and work by applying continuous pressure on the teeth over time to slowly move teeth into place.

Braces work with brackets and wires. The brackets are bonded to the tooth and the wire is tightened regularly as you move through the treatment process. Throughout treatment, orthodontic bands may be used along with your braces. The bands work with the brackets and wires to help the teeth progress in the right direction.

Our consultation process will evaluate your smile and determine if braces are the best choice. Turlock Dental Care will provide a customized treatment plan and will discuss the length of treatment and cost with each patient before treatment begins. Braces at Turlock Dental Care produce exceptional results for both children, teens, and adults that last forever.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a service we offer at Turlock Dental Care for those who have a stubborn, unattractive tooth that distracts from the beauty of their smile. Dental bonding in Turlock, California, is the process of applying a tooth-colored material to your tooth to improve its appearance. It has the ability to:
 

• Repair decayed teeth
• Make teeth look longer
• Protect a portion of the tooth’s root after it has been exposed
• Close gaps between teeth
• Restore chipped teeth
• Repair broken teeth
• Change the shape of teeth

 
This is a process that can give you the smile you have always wanted, and it begins with Dr. Robert A. McCulla or Dr. Zachary McComb choosing a color of material that closely matches the natural color of your teeth. Our dentists will then roughen the surface of the tooth and apply a conditioning liquid to it, which will help the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Next, our dentists will apply the tooth-colored resin material to the tooth, mold it and smooth it into the desired shape. Our dentists will then harden the material with an ultraviolet light. After the material is hardened, they will trim and shape it until it meets your preferred appearance. This entire process can take about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, and it will help create your perfect smile.
 
This is the easiest and least expensive procedure of all cosmetic dental options, and it is an easy and effective way of getting your dream smile. If you are interested in this process, we invite you to call our office today at Learn More

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Do you have metal fillings? What catches your eye when you look in the mirror with your mouth open? You may have noticed metal fillings in other people even if the fillings are in the back teeth and not visible when they smile. The fact is, our eyes are drawn to things that seem out of place.

At Turlock Dental Care, we offer tooth-colored fillings so no one will even notice that you have a filling. These white fillings can be used with your front teeth and they are strong enough to also be used on your molars.

Tooth-colored composite fillings can be used to fill new cavities and even to replace amalgam (metal) or other non-composite fillings. You will love the difference white fillings make!
