Del Mar Dentist Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures - Dentist: Curtis Chan DDS

Porcelain or Dental Veneers

We offer dental veneers at our San Diego, California practice. Dental, or porcelain, veneers are the gems of cosmetic dentistry. Porcelain veneers can transform many patients' smiles into dazzling, movie star-quality grins with virtually no effort! In fact, many celebrities aren't born with those mega-watt smiles - they have dental veneers. Dental veneers are composed of thin, customized porcelain and slide gently over the teeth, hiding cracks, chips, injury, and other imperfections that prevent a picture-perfect smile.

Porcelain or dental veneers are typically fitted in multiple visits to our Del Mar, California practice. The first visit is typically a consultation with the San Diego cosmetic dentist, Dr. Chan. He will find out what kind of improvement you are looking for and make sure that dental veneers are right for you. If you conclude that dental veneers are the best option to meet your cosmetic dentistry needs, you will have an impression of your teeth taken so that the dental veneers can be made to match your smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry - Dental Bonding

Crooked, discolored, broken, or misshapen teeth can zap the beauty from any smile. Bonding is a great way to restore its aesthetic appearance. During bonding, our dentist gently applies a thin layer of resin or plastic to the injured teeth and shapes, offering extra strength and making them look completely natural. To learn more about bonding, please contact us today.

Cosmetic Dentistry - Dental Bridges

Are you missing two or more teeth in a row but want a permanent, discrete alternative to dentures? If so, consider bridges. Bridges literally bridge gaps between teeth, improving the smile's overall appearance as well as the patient's ability to speak clearly, chew properly, and bite down without fear or pain. We offer a variety of bridges, including traditional, implant, and modern porcelain, so we have an option for almost everyone. If you're seeking a comfortable, natural-looking answer to missing teeth, contact us today and inquire about bridges.

Cosmetic Dentistry - Dental Porcelain Crowns

Even a single damaged tooth - one that is cracked, chipped, or discolored - can ruin the aesthetic look of your smile, but a crown could correct that problem for good. Crowns, sometimes called caps, fit neatly over injured teeth to hide imperfection and injury and to provide extra support. If you are ready for a uniform, beautiful smile, contact Dr. Chan today about porcelain crowns.

Cosmetic Dentistry - Tooth-colored Fillings

Are you hesitant to smile because your cavities have been filled with ugly metal fillings, called amalgams? If so, tooth-colored fillings might be just the answer for you. These revolutionary fillings (white fillings)- carefully constructed from porcelain or resin - are bonded to the teeth for not only an aesthetic, long-lasting effect, but also to keep the teeth strong and resistant to injury. No one but you and Dr. Chan will know! To learn more about tooth-colored fillings, please contact us today.
