Cosmetic Dentistry

Oxnard, CA

Cosmetic dentistry can transform your smile and improve your oral health. This type of dentistry focuses on making your teeth look better. At Beach Cities Dental Group, we help our patients feel more confident in their smiles by fixing cosmetic issues with their teeth and gums.

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about how your smile looks—it can also fix problems that affect your dental health. Dr. Georgia Haddad believes in looking at the full picture to make sure our treatments support long-term oral health. She takes the time to find the root cause of any issue before starting treatment, helping to prevent further problems down the road.

Our practice offers a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments and full smile makeovers. With her artistic eye, advanced training, and years of experience, Dr. Haddad delivers results that look natural and feel comfortable.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Oxnard, CA

At Beach Cities Dental Group, Dr. Haddad provides cosmetic dentistry to help patients achieve their dream smile. She begins with a full mouth exam and talks with you about what you like and don’t like about your smile, teeth, and gums. From there, she suggests treatments that will work best for your needs and budget.

Before starting any cosmetic treatment, Dr. Haddad carefully checks your teeth and gums. It’s important to have a strong and healthy base to ensure that cosmetic treatments last and improve your health, not just your looks.

Some common cosmetic issues we address include:

Discolored teeth
Missing teeth
Crooked teeth
Chipped or cracked teeth
Gaps between teeth
Misshapen teeth

If you have dental anxiety, we offer sedation options to help you stay calm and comfortable. With sedation, you’ll be fully relaxed yet awake during your treatment.

Everyone deserves a beautiful, healthy smile and should feel at ease getting the care they need. If fear of the dentist has held you back, sedation can make it easier to take steps toward a better-looking, healthier smile.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic option to improve the look of teeth while also boosting dental health. These thin, custom-made shells are placed over natural teeth to improve their shape, color, or size. Veneers can fix issues like uneven teeth, minor alignment problems, or discoloration, giving you a balanced, bright smile.

Since veneers are permanent, they require removing a small amount of enamel, so they fit naturally over your teeth. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last many years. To learn more about our dental veneer process, see Porcelain Veneers.

No-Prep Dental Veneers

No-prep veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic that attach to the front of the tooth without needing to remove any enamel. This process keeps your tooth intact while still providing a bright, even smile. These veneers offer the same cosmetic benefits as traditional veneers but with minimal preparation. No-prep veneers are durable, easy to replace, and can last a long time with regular care.

To learn more about the benefits of Durathin dental veneers, see No-Prep Veneers.

Invisalign

Invisalign clear aligners are a discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth. Invisalign helps correct alignment and bite issues, like overbite or underbite, without the need for traditional braces. Clear aligners are popular because they’re easy to remove for eating, brushing, and flossing.

For the best results, you’ll need to wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day. Every week, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners to gently shift your teeth into place. To learn more about the benefits of this clear aligner system, see Invisalign.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a reliable solution for missing teeth that also help prevent bone loss in the jaw. Implants work by placing a titanium post into the jaw, which then supports a crown, bridge, or denture. Because implants replace teeth at the root, they’re the closest option to natural teeth.

In addition to improving your smile, implants also help maintain the structure of your face by stopping bone loss, which can cause an aged look over time. With good care, dental implants can last a lifetime. To learn more about the dental implant process, see Dental Implants.

Tooth Bonding

Tooth bonding is an affordable way to fix minor cosmetic concerns, such as chipped, misshapen, or discolored teeth. This process involves applying a tooth-colored resin directly to the tooth, which the dentist then shapes and hardens to match the rest of your teeth. Bonding can improve the look of your smile in just one visit and is ideal for small fixes that make a big difference. To learn more about the benefits of dental bonding, see Tooth Bonding.

White Dental Fillings

If you have a cavity in a visible area, white dental fillings blend in naturally with your teeth. Unlike silver or metal fillings, white fillings look more natural, especially for teeth in the front. These fillings are safe and durable, helping to protect your tooth from further decay while keeping your smile uniform.

If you have older metal fillings, we can replace them with white fillings to make your smile look even more natural. To learn more about white dental fillings, see Dental Fillings.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of our most sought-after treatments, offering both at-home and in-office options. For at-home whitening, we provide custom-fit trays and a whitening gel that you can use at night. For quicker results, we offer in-office Zoom Whitening, which can brighten your teeth by several shades in about an hour.

Whitening treatments are a great way to remove stains from coffee, tea, or other foods that can dull your smile over time. To learn more about how Zoom whitening works, see Teeth Whitening.

Laser Dentistry

For patients with a gummy smile, laser dentistry offers a quick and gentle way to reshape the gum line. This technique uses a laser to reduce excess gum tissue without stitches or significant pain. Contouring the gum line can make teeth look longer and create a more balanced smile.

The laser approach minimizes bleeding, heals quickly, and delivers natural-looking results that can boost confidence in your smile. To learn more about the benefits of laser dentistry and gum contouring, see Laser Dentistry.

Each of these cosmetic treatments can play a part in creating a smile that looks great and feels natural. Whether you want whiter teeth, straighter alignment, or to fill in gaps, our team is here to help with options tailored to your goals. Contact our office to learn more about these treatments and how we can help you feel more confident about your smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Want to know more about cosmetic dentistry? Here are answers to some of the most common questions. If you have more questions, feel free to contact our Oxnard dental office.

What is the most common cosmetic dental treatment?

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment. Many people want a whiter smile, especially if they drink coffee or have stained teeth from aging. Our office offers both take-home and in-office whitening options to suit your needs. If your teeth don’t respond to regular whitening, we also offer other options like porcelain veneers and bonding.

Is cosmetic dentistry only for looks?

It’s a myth that cosmetic dentistry is just about appearance because many cosmetic issues can improve your oral health too. For instance, crooked teeth are harder to clean, which can lead to cavities and gum problems. Straightening crooked teeth can help you avoid plaque buildup in hard-to-reach spots, keeping your mouth healthier overall.

Is cosmetic dentistry safe?

Yes, cosmetic dental procedures are safe. We start with a full exam and review your medical history before any treatment. This way, we ensure each procedure is safe and right for you.

How can cosmetic dentistry improve my smile?

Cosmetic dentistry not only makes your smile look better but also improves its function. When your bite is even and balanced, your jaw and mouth muscles work more smoothly. Depending on your needs, cosmetic treatments can help you chew, speak, and enjoy a healthier bite. Everyone is different, so the benefits of cosmetic dentistry can vary.

Can a cosmetic dentist do dental implants?

Yes, many cosmetic dentists have the right training to place dental implants. Missing teeth can cause problems both in appearance and function. Dr. Haddad has special training in the jaw and gum structures and can safely place dental implants to restore your smile.

What’s the best cosmetic treatment for me?

Each patient’s smile is unique. During a consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and examine your teeth to find the best treatment options for you. Together, we’ll create a plan to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.
