Our dentists are a husband and wife team. They use the latest treatments and techniques to provide patients with smiles they can cherish for a lifetime.
The purpose of cosmetic dentistry is to help patients improve how their smile looks. We will never suggest treatments that do not closely align with your goals. After all, the health of your teeth is the main goal. A healthy and stable bite can prevent future dental issues.
Valley Dental Health offers the following cosmetic dentistry treatments:
- Porcelain Veneers: We use dental veneers to cover many types of defects. This includes cracked teeth, chipped teeth, badly stained teeth, and teeth with large gaps in between them.
- Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening overseen by a dentist provides quicker results compared to store-bought products. The results are also more even and longer-lasting.
- Invisalign®: This clear aligner system is for teens and adults who want to fix mild to moderate crooked teeth. Also, Invisalign can help alleviate TMJ and bite issues.
Cosmetic Dentistry & Smile Design: What To Expect
Careful planning will go into making your smile perfect. Our goal is to provide advanced dental care that results in long-lasting results that you love. Dr. Izadi and Dr. Rafat will begin with a complete exam to look for health issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. In addition, we will check the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) to look for issues in your bite. Fixing the basic dental problems first will ensure the effectiveness of the treatments.
Creating a treatment plan may involve the use of digital photos and other dental tools. These photos help our dentists picture what the results will look like and keep track of your progress throughout the process. Our cosmetic dentist office uses Digital Smile Design to create a smile you will love. We will use images of your entire mouth to create a 3D image of your new smile. If there is something on the screen you do not like, we can make the change right away. This process will save you time and ensure you get the outcome you want.
