Get Yourself a More Beautiful Smile

Cosmetic Dentistry is the art of giving you a healthier, more beautiful smile.

Services include teeth whitening, straightening (braces, Lumineers, Invisalign), full dental repair (bonding, veneers, crowns), and gum contouring, for a beautiful smile. The advantages go beyond improving what people see in you and what you see in the mirror. Everyone can benefit from the improved confidence and self-esteem that result. Dr. Sun is renowned as one of the leading cosmetic dentists in America. Unlike others, she handcrafts porcelain and other elements in her in-house dental lab to create the perfect smile for you.

When you smile, the corners of the mouth upturn, eyes begin twinkling and positive emotion radiates. A person’s smile is a pleasant, agreeable part of their appearance and facial characteristics; a person’s smile is the window to their heart!

Dental components like teeth and gums do play an important role in a smile. In today’s society, if a person’s dental components are not healthy or if they do not look right, most will feel far less confident to smile.

As cosmetic dentistry has come into greater demand in recent years, smile design has become a term used for various clinical treatment plans and for aesthetic improvement. Smile design means projecting an enhanced smile through alteration of dental components as a practice of cosmetic dentistry. This is a type of comprehensive oral care that combines art and science to greatly improve the aesthetic appearance of the smile, as well as its health and function.

Proper smile design starts with a facial analysis, when the line between the pupils and the horizontal line from the connecting edges of your upper teeth (smile line) are [hopefully] in parallel harmony; the smile line should also harmonize with the upper curvature of the lower lip. Then we evaluate the color, size and alignment of the dental compound, whether it is somewhat in the right places and proportional in relation with the face.

Some of the most common cosmetic procedures include tooth bleaching (or whitening) which enhances the color appearance of your teeth, bonding and veneers or porcelain crowns (which can enhance the outward appearance of a tooth’s color or shape), and gum work (like a gingival plasty, gum contouring or crown lengthening) to harmonize with teeth. Straightening of teeth through adult orthodontics are also a part of cosmetic smile design - not only for improvement of the smile, but to set up a healthier foundation for other cosmetic procedures (or simply to make the mouth easier to clean and maintain).

Laser dentistry is very complimentary to cosmetic dentistry. Laser smile design not only makes common procedures like teeth whitening and gum contouring quick and painless, but because of the laser’s highly focused energy path, very little tissue around the site is disturbed. Procedures are very non-invasive.

Ultimately, cosmetic dentistry and laser smile design could be a great investment if you are not comfortable with your smile or the condition of your teeth (especially if they are worn or broken down, requiring rehabilitation or reconstruction). Once you present a confident and happy smile, people will smile back at you and many windows and opportunity will open! Give thought to whether it’s time to have a smile analysis and smile design performed by your dental professional.
