Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry at Sandra P Lara Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry has increased in popularity over the past few decades. We specialize in several cosmetic services aimed at improving the appearance of your teeth and overall smile. From minor cosmetic changes to full-tooth restorations, we’ve got you covered!

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Invisaling@ Clear Aligners at Sandra P Lara Dentistry

Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment system that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal brackets and wires.

The aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for those who are conscious about the aesthetics of traditional braces.

You can remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy a varied diet.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening Services at Sandra P Lara Dentistry

One of the most common complaints we receive involves the brightness of our patients’ smiles.

For this reason, we offer professional teeth whitening treatment. Teeth whitening is one of the most basic and cost-effective ways to improve your smile.

As we get older, our teeth pick up stains from certain foods, drinks, medications, and personal habits. These stains, also known as extrinsic stains, are easy to remove with a bleaching solution.

However, many store-bought bleaching products leave people dissatisfied with the results. Because we are trained professionals, we use a bleaching agent with a much higher concentration than store-bought alternatives.

Dental Bonding

Dental Bonding Services at Sandra P Lara Dentistry

Patients looking for a less-invasive and more cost-effective solution may benefit from dental bonding. Dental bonding involves the application of composite resin, a putty-like material, to the surface of an aesthetically displeasing tooth.

For example, dental bonding is an excellent solution for minor chips or cracks. During the procedure, the composite resin will be color-matched to the existing shade of your enamel, making it virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your tooth.

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain Crown Services at Sandra P Lara Dentistry

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that completely covers the visible portion of a damaged or decayed tooth. In previous years, a dental crown was fabricated using a gold or silver amalgam.

These days, porcelain is usually the material of choice. Porcelain is a ceramic compound that mimics the light-reflective properties of natural enamel. It can also be textured and color-matched to your existing teeth.

Thanks to porcelain and other ceramics, crowns can also be used to fix the aesthetics of an unsightly tooth.

Dental Veneers

Dental Veneers at Sandra P Lara Dentistry

A dental veneer is a razor-thin shell that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Like our dental crowns, our veneers are typically made from porcelain.

Veneers can be used to fix teeth that are severely discolored, worn down, chipped or broken, misaligned, uneven, irregularly shaped, or even gapped.

During the procedure, we have to remove a small amount of enamel to accommodate the thickness of the veneer. For this reason, the veneer procedure is considered irreversible.
