Renovate your Confidence with a Glamorous Hollywood Smile!

Have you ever wondered how did that model or movie star in the magazine you are reading get that smile? So white…so straight…so perfect!

Is it good genes? Well, the truth is that not everyone is born with a perfect, ever-lasting smile and high chances are that the smile you just saw has been designed by a professional cosmetic dentist.
This is good news…It means you can get it too!
One of the most popular procedures performed in cosmetic dentistry today is dental veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin layers of custom made shells that are placed in the front covering of your teeth allowing them to look incredibly straight, even and very white!

Each porcelain laminate is a work of art, carefully crafted in a laboratory to fit your individual smile.The enamel of the teeth is minimally reduced to fit the veneers, but a new type of veneers called Lumineers does not require teeth reduction. Both porcelain veneers and Lumineers are extremely durable, lasting from 10 to 15 years. Come visit our Agoura Hills dentists to see which type of veneer is right for you!
Two of the greatest advantages of porcelain veneers over other types of cosmetic procedures are that they have a very real tooth appearance and that they resist staining. The cost of porcelain veneers depends on the number of teeth being treated. When your are considering the cost of porcelain veneers, you must take into account all of their advantages; including their longevity and attractiveness.

What you didn’t know about Gum Disease

Gum disease, also called periodontal disease is a bacterial infection of the tissues and bone that support the teeth.

Gum disease is generally caused by a buildup of plaque, which is a colorless and sticky layer of germs that naturally forms on teeth and gums. This plaque contains bacteria and other particles, which produce toxins that damage your gums.

Veneers, for a bright and beautiful smile!

In just two or three dental visits, a veneer can reverse years of stains caused by foods, caffeine and tobacco use. Special thin laminates, called veneers, can often be used to correct discolored, worn down, cracked and chipped teeth. Veneers can also be used to close unsightly gaps between teeth. Stronger types of veneers made of porcelain, also called composite veneers, typically last longer because they are bonded to the tooth.
