Not Just Teeth Whitening

In the past decade there has been a dramatic interest in cosmetic dentistry.  We all realize that having a healthy, bright, beautiful smile enhances our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence.  Thanks to the advances in modern dentistry, we are able to improve our teeth and smiles with quick and painless treatments.

Cosmetic dental treatments can:

• Change the size, shape, and alignment of certain teeth.
• Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth.
• Improve or correct bites.
• Lighten or brighten the color of teeth.
• Repair decayed, broken, cracked, or chipped teeth.
• Replace missing teeth.
• Replace old, unattractive dental treatments.

Thinking about changing your smile, but are afraid to take the next step? All of us at Dr. Cohen’s Cosmetic Dental Practice in Mission Viejo understand your concerns and we will help guide you through the process. We know that changing your smile is a huge, but important,  step that should not be taken lightly. Some of the reasons patients have told us for not getting these life changing procedures are: “I’m just being vain” or “I’m not worth it” or “I’m too old”, etc.

We live in a world that is constantly following social media. If we don’t take pictures of ourselves then someone else is taking pictures of us. When we see a picture of our self on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, etc., the first thing that we do is check out how we look. There is no harsher critic of us than we are to ourselves. We all turn to the side to look thinner when taking our pictures or feign a laugh to get the perfect smile. It’s not really being vein, it’s just being realistic to assume that other people are looking at us… all the time. So, why not look your best so you can feel your best when other people see you.

Life has gotten so darn expensive. Almost all of us have a cell phone bill and other technology expenses in addition to a car payment, a mortgage and other routine expenses. The average American woman spends over $15,000 in her lifetime on beauty products. That does not include haircuts and color which amount to a staggering $65,000. All this expense for something that makes you look good – temporarily. The nice thing about Cosmetic Dentistry is that the results last for years. So, the next time you ask yourself is this worth it, just consider how important your smile is to you.

Old homes get remodeled to make them look new again, old furniture gets reupholstered with contemporary fabrics and old wardrobes get updated. If you know anything about Dr. Cohen then you know that he loves to purchase old cars. He always says “If it has been well maintained then there is nothing that a new coat of paint can’t fix”. That’s the same for a lot of things in life including your teeth. So, if your smile grew up before the age of braces, bleaching, bonding and veneers then you are in luck because what once looked old can look new again with very little effort.

Don’t let an embarrassing smile continue to dictate how you feel about yourself.  With Dr. Cohen’s experience and education as a cosmetic dentist he can transform your smile into the smile you always wanted.

Some of  the Cosmetic Dental Services we Provide

Porcelain Veneers

Dr. Cohen personally evaluates your smile to determine what will need to be done to improve your smile. If Dr. Cohen determines that you could benefit from Porcelain Veneers, then very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made just for your mouth are shaped and corrected for the color that best works for you by a professional dental laboratory.  Dr. Cohen then bonds the Veneers onto the front of your teeth to create a beautiful, attractive and long lasting smile.

Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile.  They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.
Some examples of Veneers:

Porcelain Crowns (caps)

Dr. Cohen will assess your needs when deciding between Porcelain Veneers and Porcelain to determine which  is a more appropriate treatment option for your cosmetic need. Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crowns) are the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth.  A porcelain crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its ideal shape and size. They are highly durable and will last many years.  Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth giving you a natural, long lasting beautiful smile.

Reasons for crowns:

• Broken or fractured teeth.
• Cosmetic enhancement.
• Decayed teeth
• Fractured fillings.
• Large fillings.
• Tooth has a root canal.

Dental Implants and Porcelain Fixed Bridges

Dr. Cohen restored his first Dental Implant in 1987, long before they were popular. In general, Dental Implants are the preferable method for restoring missing teeth, but not all patients are candidates for dental implants. In this case we will restore your missing teeth with either fixed or removable bridges

Dr. Cohen along with his team of expert surgeons will help you determine which treatment is appropriate for you. Either way replacing missing teeth helps to maintain your facial shape, Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position, restore chewing and speaking ability and maintain a beautiful smile. Both Dental bridges and Dental Implants are highly durable and will last many years.

Composite Fillings

Dr. Cohen prides himself on his artistic ability to sculpt tooth colored filing material (composite fillings) into realistic looking teeth.   A composite filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc.  There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.  Dr. Cohen will help you determine the best options for restoring your teeth.  Composite fillings  are the most widely used today because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the colors of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the mouth.

The true focus of Dr. Cohen goes beyond a professional career. He truly cares about his patients and becomes familiar with all of their specific cases and dental needs; he goes beyond professional care to personal care. Dr. Cohen’s office shines above the rest; combining the cutting edge in dental technology with friendly, personal care to provide the best experience available in modern dentistry. The high quality of treatment you receive is matched only by the caring support provided by the staff of Dr. Cohen’s office.
