Los Gatos Cosmetic Dentistry

An extremely popular, and more conservative than a crown restoration process, is porcelain laminate veneers because they require minimal tooth reduction.

Porcelain laminate veneers are not reversible and not the only alternative for all esthetic abnormalities.

Local anesthetic is advisable but not always necessary. It takes about one week to fabricate a veneer. Teeth are normally sensitive to hot and cold between the time the teeth are prepped and the veneer inserted. The laminates are inserted with a resin that is light sensitive and hardened with a white light. Laminates are very strong and once placed, will resist most foods consumed by a normal diet.

Laminates are relatively easy to maintain. A normal diet combined with good oral hygiene (brushing and flossing regularly) will keep your smile beautiful for many years.

Teeth Whitening is also extremely popular. BriteSmile is a one-hour teeth whitening treatment people are raving about. BriteSmile has been featured on TV programs, and was a gift in the Academy Awards basket for Oscar winners. BriteSmile was also featured in the movie Intolerable Cruelty with George Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones.

A hydrogen-peroxide whitening gel is activated by a patented light that operates in the "blue spectrum." The gel and light were both developed by BriteSmile, Inc. Available exclusively at BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening Spas and by a BriteSmile Associated Dentists that can be found in Los Gatos, California.
