San Diego Cosmetic Dentistry - Smile Rejuvenation

Come on San Diego... Who doesn't want a perfect smile?

While few people have one naturally, almost anyone can get one with the help of their cosmetic dentist. In addition to orthodontic treatment, which can straighten your teeth, recent advances in dental materials and techniques offer near-perfect teeth that are almost as strong as the originals.

Things your dentist can do to improve your smile include:

  • Bleaching to make teeth whiter
  • Repairing chips or rough spots with fillings that match your teeth
  • Filling cavities with tooth-colored materials
  • Reshaping teeth that don't match the others
  • Closing gaps between teeth
  • Covering broken teeth with porcelain crowns

San Diego Dental: Refreshing our Before and Afters

San Diego Dental: Refreshing our Cosmetic Dentistry Before and Afters

 

Of all the material we offer here on DrPaulColeman.com, the San Diego Cosmetic Dentistry Before & Afters page is consistently one of our most popular. That's why we thought it was appropriate to take a look at how the dental information and imagery was laid out. It seemed obvious that we could do a little better showing off our Shining San Diego Smiles! :).

So, I'm happy to announce that the new Before & After format is out and it's better than ever.

Dental Health with Dr. C - More Bonding Than You Ever Wanted

Dental Health with Dr. C - More Bonding Than You Ever Wanted

This week on "Dental Health with Dr. C", Dr. Paul Coleman answers the question "What the heck is Bonding?"
 
Dental bonding has been utilized extensively since the 1960's, but even with it's wide spread use, few people outside of a dental office actually know how it works. So, our very own San Diego Dentist Dr. C puts a spot light on the topic.
 
Dr. Coleman accomplishes this by explaining the chemistry behind the process (with Big Words like "Photo-catalytic Reactions" - ie. Light Activated), the advances in bonding technology & materials, and of course the vast array of smile improving applications such as:

Why Bother With Porcelain Veneers?

San Diego Porcelain Veneers

Utilizing Porcelain Veneers is a great way to correct stained or chipped teeth. Coating the surface of teeth with a glass-like ceramic porcelain can provide patients with bright and natural looking smiles. Each patient's situation is unique - some may need many porcelain veneers and some may need only a few, for example. Either way, patients can have the smile they deserve, with the right san diego cosmetic dentist.

By lightly buffing out approximately one-half-millimeter layer of the front surface of your teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers will eventually be set in place of this enamel. I'll then make a mold of your teeth. From this mold, each porcelain veneer will be custom made to fit the tooth and complement your smile.

San Diego Snap On Smiles

Snap On Smiles with San Diego Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Paul Coleman

There is now a non-invasive procedure available to instantly improve your smile without shots, injections or grinding your teeth.

I just received training and certification to provide this revolutionary new service. 

Snap On Smiles have been around for a few years, but has been purchased by the DenMat Co who have improved the procedure and is now actively marketing the procedure throughout the country.  This is the same company who has been making conservative veneers called Lumineers.

A Snap On Smile is a removable lab-processed set of teeth that fit over your existing teeth.  It can be used to replace a tooth waiting for a permanent crown while an implant is integrated, act like a removable partial denture without wires or clasps, and improve a smile while a patient is awaiting more permanent smile improvements with veneers or crowns.

Dental Implants & Improving Smiles

Dental Implants & Improving Smiles with San Diego Dentist Dr. Paul Coleman

If you have missing teeth, dental implants are a great option to improve the appearance of your smile. This is a permanent cosmetic dentistry procedure that replaces the full tooth including the tooth’s root. Dental implants can be performed on one tooth or on many teeth.
Missing teeth need to be replaced as soon as possible to avoid many tooth problems that may be difficult to correct. Teeth may shift, the jawbone can deteriorate, and gum decay or disease can develop as a result of missing teeth.

The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental bridges and partial dentures are options for replacing missing teeth. However, dental implants are much more durable and longer lasting because the tooth and the root are replaced. The tooth replacement ends up being stronger as a result.
 
Other benefits of dental implants include:

Am I A Candidate for a Smile Makeover?

Am I A Candidate for a Smile Makeover? San Diego Cosmetic Dentistry

Did you know smiling and laughing are actually healthy for you? It’s true! As well as being attractive; smiling and laughing are beneficial to your entire well-being!

The psychological value of smiling and laughing is just as impressive. These activities release inner tension and repressed tendencies. When a person is tired or unhappy, it is better to relax through smiling and / or laughing than any other non-active means.

If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, a Smile Makeover may be beneficial to you.
