Cosmetic Dentistry

San Diego, Encinitas, and Carlsbad, CA.

Dental technology has changed a great deal in recent years with lasers and computers making many things possible that were unthinkable years ago. Cosmetic dentistry takes full advantage of these changes to give you more attractive results than were possible in the past.

 

 

Dr. Walsh-Cole strives to give her patients that perfect smile with natural-looking shapes and custom shades. While creating an aesthetic result, she maintains the importance of form and function.

 

Mercury-Free fillings

 

As a mercury-free dental practice, we offer tooth-colored fillings instead of silver-mercury fillings. Silver mercury fillings may, over time, create an unsightly gray appearance or cause cracks in the teeth. Tooth-colored fillings are made of composite and not only look natural, but they also strengthen your teeth. When warranted, old silver-mercury fillings can be replaced by tooth-colored fillings.

 

Tooth Whitening

 

You can reverse the aging effects of discolored teeth by using the latest bleaching techniques to optimize results, while minimizing sensitivity. We offer a variety of options, including Zoom! Advanced Power in-office bleaching, KoR Deep Bleaching and custom take-home bleaching, to meet the needs of all our patients. Please visit our Tooth Whitening page for more details. Tooth Whitening Questions.

 

Porcelain Veneers

 

Porcelain Veneers are another cosmetic dentistry procedure that can dramatically change the appearance of your smile. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are custom designed and bonded to your front teeth. Veneers can close gaps between teeth, straighten, reshape your teeth and whiten your smile. Please visit our Porcelain Veneers page for more details.

 

Porcelain Crowns

 

Beautiful and natural-looking all-porcelain crowns, inlays and onlays can restore your teeth while maintaining strength. We offer many all-porcelain restorations, and for more details, please visit our Porcelain Crowns and Inlays and Onlays pages.
