Whether you’re looking to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment, our comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services help you achieve the confident smile you’ve always wanted.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. Unlike general dentistry which addresses oral health issues, cosmetic procedures enhance aesthetics while maintaining or improving dental function. Dr. Vafa specializes in creating beautiful smiles that look natural and feel comfortable, using the latest techniques and highest-quality materials available.
Teeth Whitening
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth to create a flawless smile. Dr. Vafa uses premium porcelain materials that mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. Veneers can correct multiple cosmetic issues simultaneously, including discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and minor misalignment.
The veneer process typically requires two appointments. During your first visit, Dr. Vafa prepares your teeth and takes precise impressions. At your second appointment, your custom veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth, instantly transforming your smile. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer.
Veneers can address:
- Severely stained or discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
- Worn, chipped, or broken teeth
- Uneven, irregularly shaped, or misaligned teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth that appear too small or too large
Professional teeth whitening at Smile Angels delivers dramatic results that over-the-counter products simply cannot match. Dr. Vafa offers both in-office whitening treatments for immediate results and custom take-home whitening kits for gradual brightening. Our advanced whitening systems can lighten teeth by several shades in just one visit, removing years of stains from coffee, wine, tobacco, and aging.
Benefits of professional teeth whitening:
- Results visible in as little as one hour
- Safe, supervised treatment that protects tooth enamel
- Customized treatment plans for sensitive teeth
- Longer-lasting results compared to store-bought products
- Even, consistent whitening across all visible teeth
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a conservative, cost-effective cosmetic solution for minor imperfections. Dr. Vafa applies a tooth-colored composite resin material directly to the tooth surface, sculpting it to correct chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. The bonding material is hardened with a special light and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
This minimally invasive procedure typically requires little to no tooth preparation and can often be completed in a single visit. Bonding is an excellent option for patients looking for quick improvements without the commitment of veneers or crowns.
Straighten your teeth discreetly with Invisalign clear aligners. Dr. Vafa is experienced in creating beautiful smiles using this innovative orthodontic system. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners custom-made for your teeth. Each aligner gradually shifts your teeth into the desired position without metal brackets or wires.
Invisalign advantages:
- Virtually invisible appearance
- Removable for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene
- No food restrictions
- Fewer office visits compared to traditional braces
- Comfortable, smooth plastic without sharp edges
- Predictable results with 3D treatment planning
A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic procedures to completely transform your smile. Dr. Vafa takes a holistic approach, considering your facial features, skin tone, lips, gums, and overall aesthetic goals. Your personalized smile makeover may include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, crowns, gum contouring, or orthodontics.
During your consultation, Dr. Vafa uses digital smile design technology to show you a preview of your potential results before treatment begins. This ensures you’re completely confident in your treatment plan and excited about your smile transformation.
Also known as gum reshaping, this procedure corrects a “gummy smile” or uneven gum line. Dr. Vafa carefully removes excess gum tissue to expose more of your tooth structure, creating a more balanced and proportionate smile. Modern laser technology makes gum contouring more precise and comfortable than ever, with minimal discomfort and faster healing times.
Dental Crowns (Porcelain & Ceramic)
While crowns serve a restorative function, Dr. Vafa ensures they also meet the highest aesthetic standards. Our all-porcelain and all-ceramic crowns are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. They’re ideal for covering damaged, decayed, or severely discolored teeth while providing strength and protection. Each crown is custom-crafted to match the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth.Also known as gum reshaping, this procedure corrects a “gummy smile” or uneven gum line.
