Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way in recent years. Not so long ago, patients wanting a smile transformation had to settle for porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns placed on their teeth, which often looked unnatural and showed a gray edge at the gum line. Thanks to modern dental procedures, you can obtain the smile of your dreams, often in just one or two office visits. The best part is that your smile will look as if it were designed by nature, not your Corona cosmetic dentist!

To determine if you are a candidate for cosmetic enhancement, it helps to first identify what bothers you about your smile. Take the following quiz to determine what imperfections, if any, stand out when you smile in the mirror.

1.    How would you describe the size and shape of your teeth?

Symmetrical and attractive

Too small or too large

Uneven

Pointy or jagged

2.    What color are your teeth?

White

Yellow

Brown

Gray

3.    How are your front teeth positioned?

Straight

Widely spaced

Crooked

Crowded

4.    Are you happy with your smile?

Yes, I show it off frequently

My smile is okay

I smile with my mouth closed

I rarely smile

Once you have identified what you dislike about your teeth, you Corona cosmetic dentist can help you decide what procedures can help you achieve a beautiful smile. Your options for aesthetic enhancement include teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, tooth reshaping and contouring, and porcelain veneers. All of these procedures are minimally-invasive and take two office visits or less to create the brilliant smile you deserve.
