Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
No-Prep Porcelain Veneers
No-prep porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made ceramic shells that bond directly to the front surfaces of your teeth. Because they require little to no enamel removal, this treatment is minimally invasive and, in some cases, reversible. No-prep veneers enhance the smile by improving tooth shape, alignment, and color, all while preserving natural tooth structure. They are ideal for patients who want a seamless, natural-looking enhancement without aggressive preparation.
Invisible Aligner Therapy
Invisible aligners straighten your teeth discreetly, comfortably, and efficiently. Instead of metal brackets and wires, clear, removable aligners gradually shift your teeth into alignment using advanced digital planning and 3D technology. Dr. Bae creates a fully customized treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and needs. Patients enjoy the ability to remove aligners for eating, brushing, and special occasions, all while achieving a beautifully aligned smile with minimal disruption to daily life.
Cosmetic Bonding & Tooth Contouring
Cosmetic bonding and tooth contouring provide subtle yet effective enhancements for minor imperfections. Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration with natural-looking results. Tooth contouring gently reshapes enamel to improve symmetry and balance. These minimally invasive treatments require little to no anesthesia and can often be completed in a single visit. Dr. Bae’s precise technique ensures the enhancements blend seamlessly into your smile.
Gum Contouring
A balanced gumline can dramatically improve smile aesthetics. Laser gum contouring removes excess or uneven gum tissue to reveal more tooth structure and create harmony across your smile. Because the procedure uses advanced laser technology, gum contouring is comfortable, precise, and requires minimal recovery time. It is an excellent solution for patients with a “gummy smile” or asymmetrical gum appearance.
Aesthetic Smile Makeovers
Aesthetic smile makeovers are comprehensive treatment plans designed to address multiple cosmetic concerns at once. After discussing your goals and evaluating your facial symmetry, bite, and tooth proportions, Dr. Bae curates a personalized plan that can include veneers, whitening, aligners, gum contouring, and other cosmetic enhancements. The result is a radiant, cohesive transformation that elevates both the appearance and the function of your smile. A smile makeover can be life-changing, offering newfound confidence and an improved self-image.
Onlay
An onlay is a custom-made restoration used to repair larger areas of decay or fracture that cannot be restored with a simple filling. Extending over one or more chewing surfaces, an onlay preserves as much natural tooth structure as possible while providing durable reinforcement. Crafted from ceramic, porcelain, or gold, onlays offer excellent longevity and a natural appearance when matched to surrounding teeth.
Inlay
An inlay fits precisely inside the chewing surface of a tooth to restore areas affected by moderate decay. Made from high-quality ceramic, porcelain, or gold, inlays are more durable and stain-resistant than composite fillings. They provide a precise fit that strengthens the tooth and reduces the risk of future decay. Inlays offer an ideal blend of aesthetics, durability, and conservation of natural tooth structure.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening brightens your smile by lifting stains and discoloration caused by foods, beverages, medications, or natural aging. Using safe and effective whitening solutions, we help you achieve a noticeably brighter, more youthful appearance. Whitening can be performed in-office for immediate results or through take-home options for gradual improvement. This treatment is one of the fastest and most affordable ways to enhance your smile.
