Not sure which treatment is right for you? Here are some options to consider as you make the decision to improve your smile:

Veneers – Restore Your Entire Smile

If you’re located in or near Escondido and you’re interested in treating cosmetic issues like stained teeth, gaps, crooked teeth, or minor tooth damage, veneers are a cost-effective, efficient choice.

These wafer-thin dental prostheses are built to replace the entire chewing surface of your teeth and cover up any cosmetic imperfections in your smile. The treatment is non-invasive and surprisingly affordable, particularly if you only need a few of your front-facing teeth to be treated.

Teeth Whitening – Non-Invasive Treatment with Spectacular Results

If you’re not interested in dental surgery or an irreversible procedure, such as the application of veneers, teeth whitening is a great way to restore your smile. We offer both in-office and at-home teeth whitening.

With in-office teeth whitening, you can get a smile that’s up to 5-10 shades brighter in just one or two appointments. And if you opt for take-home teeth whitening, you’ll be able to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. Though the take-home process takes a bit longer to achieve the same results, your teeth will be whitened more gradually, which is preferred by some patients who wish to be more discreet about their treatment.

Porcelain Crowns – Protect Damaged Teeth, Replace Old Dental Work

Porcelain crowns can be used to restore or protect a damaged tooth with a “cap” that covers all of the remaining enamel, and is bonded into place permanently. At our office, we can also build new porcelain ceramic crowns to replace steel and gold crowns, which may make you feel self-conscious about your smile.

Dental Bonding – Reshaping And Restoring Your Teeth (On A Budget)

Dental bonding is a great alternative to porcelain veneers. During this treatment, Dr. Hope applies a strong resin-based material to each tooth. Then, this resin is shaped and sculpted to cover up imperfections in your tooth and restore it to a more natural, attractive appearance. Finally, Dr. Hope uses a specialized UV light to “cure” and harden the resin, which bonds it permanently to the tooth.

Dental bonding is ideal for more minor cosmetic issues like tiny chips in the teeth, and is usually much cheaper compared to other treatments like dental veneers.
