Why Choose Charlie Hsieh Dental Corporation for Cosmetic Dentistry?
You may think choosing a cosmetic dentist is only for people who need extensive repairs on their teeth, but there are many additional reasons to choose cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentists can handle all of your dental needs. They can restore the natural color of your teeth, strengthen and straighten your teeth, repair damaged teeth, and even perform oral surgery. A cosmetic dentist treats conditions that cause visible damage to your teeth.
Cosmetic dentists receive the same training regular dentists do, in addition to special training to perform cosmetic procedures. While cosmetic dentistry is not recognized as a specialty by the American Dental Association, there are some procedures that only a trained cosmetic dentist can perform. If you think a cosmetic dentist might be the right choice for you, our dentist, Charlie Hsieh, DDS and his dental team at Charlie Hsieh Dental Corporation can help.

Transform Your Smile with Dental Veneers and Bonding
Covering up damaged, discolored, and chipped teeth can easily be done with dental veeners or bonding.
Veneers
Dental veneers are essentially like thin shells that fit over the front surface of your teeth. They are most commonly used for the front top teeth that are visible when you smile. Veneers offer a versatile solution for addressing various dental imperfections, including stains, chips, gaps, and misalignments. By concealing flaws and improving symmetry, veneers create a brighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Selecting the appropriate shade and translucency of veneers is vital for achieving a natural-looking result. Our dentist utilizes shade guides and digital imaging to match veneers seamlessly with surrounding teeth, ensuring a harmonious blend.
Smile enhancement through veneers also promotes oral health and hygiene. Veneers provide a protective barrier against further damage and staining, encouraging individuals to maintain good oral care habits. Veneers are most commonly used to whiten and brighten teeth, as well as create a symmetrical shape among the teeth.
Dental Bonding
Tooth bonding is a straightforward and cost-effective solution for minor dental imperfections. It's a popular choice among patients due to its simplicity and affordability.
Dental bonding can address a variety of dental concerns, such as: repairing decayed teeth, fixing chipped or cracked teeth, improving the appearance of discolored teeth, and closing gaps between teeth. Bonding can also make the teeth appear longer and alter the shape of teeth, as well as protect exposed roots due to gum recession.
Once the tooth needing dental bonding is prepared, the resin is applied, molded, and smoothed into the desired shape. An ultraviolet light is used to harden the material. After the bonding hardens, the dentist trims and shapes it further before polishing to match the natural sheen of the rest of the tooth.
Brighten Your Teeth with Professional Teeth Whitening
Our smile is one of the first things people notice about us. As we age our teeth can begin to look stained and discolored lacking the brightness they once had. Tooth enamel becomes more porous the older we get and over time can become stained easier. They draw stains from the food and drink we ingest. Individuals who smoke or drink coffee or tea are more likely to experience teeth staining than those who do not.
One of the ways patients can combat these stains is by having a professional teeth whitening procedure done. The procedure usually takes less than an hour to complete and can instantly brighten any patient's smile.
Over-the-counter whitening kits have a one-size-fits-all mentality which means there is no customization. This is a problem because everyone's mouth is different. Professional whitening treatments, on the other hand, take into consideration the shape and color of the patient's teeth and ensure the solution will not overly whiten their teeth.
One of the biggest differences between at-home whitening and professional teeth whitening is the level of bleaching they offer. At-home kits have a carbamide peroxide solution that is only rated at 10 to 20 percent, while the professional solution is typically around 40 percent, offering a much more effective whitening.
Achieve a Perfect Smile with Invisalign® Clear Aligners
In recent years, clear aligners like Invisalign have become the popular choice among those wanting to straighten their teeth. Invisalign clear aligners appear nearly invisible, since they are made with a transparent, plastic-like material, whereas traditional braces, made of metal brackets and wires, are very noticeable and can lower self-confidence.
Using clear aligners conceals the fact that you are going through orthodontic treatment, so you can live your life as normal. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you do not have any diet restrictions as is the case with braces. You can eat, and chew anything you like, just as usual, because you will remove your aligners to eat and drink, as well as while brushing and flossing your teeth. Oral hygiene can be difficult with braces, especially flossing between brackets and wires. With Invisalign, you can eat, drink, and brush and floss as usual.
It is important to wear the clear aligners at all times, except when eating and drinking. Clear aligner treatment is less obvious, more comfortable, and typically requires a shorter treatment than traditional braces.
Reasons to Choose Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentists can remove stains from your teeth and they can repair any teeth that have been chipped or cracked. They can also match the natural color of your teeth with custom-made crowns, veneers, bonding, and implants. Choosing a cosmetic dentist like Charlie Hsieh, DDS can help improve your oral health since your teeth will be cleaner and free of damage after your treatment.
Most treatments performed by a cosmetic dentist are fast, painless, and affordable. Patients that receive cosmetic dental treatments often say the treatment improves their self-confidence and overall quality of life.
