Cosmetic Dentistry

Good oral health includes feeling confident in your appearance. Your smile is a big part of your personal identity.

If you ever feel you would like to improve the color or the appearance of your teeth, Elk Grove dentist Dr. Pritpal Gill will help you decide which type of cosmetic dentistry will give you the smile you have always wanted.

Cosmetic dentistry is more natural-looking and affordable than ever, and it ranges from simple single-tooth treatments to full smile makeovers.

Helping patients achieve their dream smiles is part of our mission, “Your Smile. Our Passion.”

The Oral Health Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Some cosmetic dentistry treatments only enhance your smile, but others promote improved oral health and make your teeth and gums easier to care for. Below, we've included a few cosmetic options that benefit smile aesthetics and wellness.

Clear Braces for an Aligned Smile

Clear braces promote jaw joint health and tooth integrity. Aligned teeth also make brushing and flossing easier and more productive.

Tooth-Colored Restorations

Tooth-colored restorations like veneers, bonding, and crowns restore teeth without using silver or metal. Conceal cracks, chips, and more!

Tooth Replacement and Oral Health

Replacing missing keeps your bite in check, prevents tooth migration, and promotes lasting oral health. It is beauty meets aesthetics.

Dr. Gill's office and staff are awesome

Dr. Gill's office and staff are awesome. I was scared about the work I was getting done so I called in and Dr. Gill took time out of his morning and explained everything to me and assured me I would be fine. I came in for my appointment the next day and saw Dr. Pham. Dr. Pham did some fillings and a crown on me and I was so nervous because I'm hard to get numb. She was AMAZING. She walked me through every moment, went slow, and continued to check in on me to make sure I wasn't in pain.

Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Professional Teeth Whitening

One of the fastest and most affordable ways to improve your smile is by eliminating years of stains using professional teeth whitening. Professional whitening is far more effective than over-the-counter options and is much safer than the abrasive toothpaste and gels you find in the pharmacy.

At Oak Tree Dentistry, we use Zoom! Teeth whitening, which is gentle on teeth. Studies show that professional teeth whitening is safe and does not cause demineralization. You can achieve multiple shade improvements and bleach away years of coffee and tea from your teeth. We always recommend starting your whitening program with professionally cleaned teeth.

If you are planning a smile makeover, starting with teeth whitening will give you brighter final results! 

Invisalign® Clear Braces

Invisalign and ClearCorrect® are removable alternatives to traditional braces and are often used in cosmetic dentistry. Improving tooth alignment makes restorations look more natural and fit together more aesthetically.

Straight teeth are often healthier and come together without high and low areas, which can cause wear and sensitivity.

Tooth-Colored Restorations

If you have dental fillings, crowns, or bridges with metal components that make your smile look dark, we can enhance your smile using long-lasting and reliable tooth-colored restorations.

  • Dental fillings – repairs teeth after decay
  • Bonding – fills in small chips and gaps
  • Crowns – repairs and reinforces damaged or cracked teeth
  • Bridges – fills the gap in the smile after tooth loss

Full Smile Makeovers

With his advanced knowledge of jaw and dental function, Dr. Gill can create full smile makeovers using smile design to rebuild a damaged or worn smile for improved function and stunning appearance. Using digital scans and 3-D imaging, Dr. Gill designs a smile that will look best for you.

Smile design matches your goals for your smile with your natural facial appearance and shape by accounting for gender, skin tone, hair color, and age. This whole-face approach ensures natural-looking results that look like you were born with them—only much better!

  • Dental exam
  • Digital x-rays
  • Photographs
  • Digital impressions
  • Smile designing
  • Temporary try-in
  • Final restorations

Porcelain Veneers

Patients often choose porcelain veneers because they address a number of cosmetic concerns at once, including:

  • Worn or short teeth
  • Discoloration
  • Irregular shape
  • Trauma or accident 
  • Gaps and irregular spacing
  • Misalignment

Porcelain veneers are strong, micro-thin restorations that look like the front of a tooth. They can improve a single out-of-place tooth or a full smile. Planning the proper length and shape with a smile design ensures a good fit and a celebrity-perfect outcome. 

Dr. Gill will permanently bond them after preparing your teeth to make room for veneers.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your mouth and teeth are generally healthy, teeth whitening will likely be completely safe for you. Professional teeth whitening is an affordable and simple way to spruce up your smile and eliminate the stains that have collected for years.

We will evaluate your gums and look for any signs of recession that might make your teeth sensitive during whitening. Recession does not mean that you cannot whiten your teeth, just that we may recommend desensitizers or a fluoride application to protect exposed roots.

Zoom! whitening is done using 10% carbamide peroxide, and studies showed no effect on the mineral content of teeth. Professionally done teeth whitening does not cause any permanent damage to your teeth. 

Over-the-counter whitening products can actually damage teeth because they often contain abrasive materials that scratch away at enamel with permanent repercussions. They also provide unpredictable results that look uneven or blotchy.

Our custom teeth whitening system will give you brilliant results in just a couple of weeks. For faster results, we offer in-office teeth whitening to jump-start the process.

We’re pleased to offer three levels of dental sedation in Lodi and Elk Grove to meet your needs.

Types of Sedation Dentistry We Offer

Our team monitors you closely during dental sedation, and we take a health history to ensure your candidacy.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is a safe gas administered through a nasal cannula during your procedure. You feel detached and melancholy with nitrous, but you’re still aware. This sedation method means you’ll feel less anxious during your procedure, but there are no lingering effects. You can drive yourself home or back to work.  

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is a pill given before treatment. With this sedation method, you’ll feel completely relaxed and may not recall the finer details of your treatment. You’ll need a friend or loved one to drive you. We also recommend resting for the day and not making any life-altering decisions.

IV Sedation

As with oral sedation, you should have transportation and rest for the remainder of the day following your procedure. IV sedation is delivered directly into the bloodstream. You’ll be minimally conscious but mostly unaware of what’s happening. It’s doubtful you’ll remember your procedure.

Contact Your Elk Grove or Lodi Dentist Today

Contact a dental team member today if you want more information about sedation dentistry.
