We offer in-house and take-home teeth whitening options for your convenience. Professional teeth whitening provides dramatic results quickly and safely. Our take-home option is the Phillips Zoom!® teeth whitening protocol, safe and easy to perform on your own. Teeth whitening is typically one of the first services performed to ensure any future treatments are done to match your newly whitened teeth.
Porcelain veneers are the perfect option for stains unable to be removed through teeth whitening, chipped, and misaligned teeth. Veneers are a thin shell applied directly to the tooth to cover up smile imperfections. They are customized to ensure they match the rest of your teeth and blend in seamlessly. It’s important to find an experience restoration dentist like Dr. Wu to properly fit and match your veneers. Porcelain veneers are durable and can last ten years or more.
Dental bonding offers a more affordable alternative to porcelain veneers with the same benefits. The bonding material is a specialized resin that can be shaped and customized to naturally blend in with your teeth to cover smile imperfections. Dental bonding typically lasts between three and ten years with proper care. As your restoration dentist, Dr. Wu

Treat misaligned teeth without the hassle of traditional braces. Invisalign is a groundbreaking orthodontic treatment using a series of clear aligners that can be removed while you eat. These clear aligners are discreet and are custom fitted to your teeth with the goal of subtly straightening your teeth over an average of 12 to 18 months. Patients rave about the convenience and comfort of Invisalign, while providing them the smile they’ve always wanted.
Reduce the appearance of a “gummy smile” or create an even gum line with gum contouring. Dr. Wu will use a dental laser to carefully contour your gumline, exposing more of each tooth and enhance your smile. Each procedure is executed with precision to ensure your gum contouring looks natural. The dental laser minimizes the chances for infection and bleeding after the procedure. Gums may feel slightly swollen or sore after the procedure, but will not inhibit eating, speaking, or drinking.

Cosmetic dentistry corrects smile imperfections like the alignment, shape, color, and size of your teeth and gums. However, the benefits of cosmetic dentistry go beyond aesthetics. Treating these smile imperfections often has the additional benefits of addressing other health concerns that may be causing pain or discomfort. Tooth reshaping, Invisalign, and gum contouring can all help your overall alignment and bite. Chewing becomes easier and the muscles in your jaw are no longer straining to compensate for misalignment. Fixing chipped and broken teeth is aesthetically pleasing, but repairing weakened teeth with veneers, bonding, and crowns ensures further damage cannot occur. Repairing teeth also helps the overall bite, enhancing your overall oral health and preventing problems in the future. Smile imperfections may be signs of greater underlying issues that can grow with time. Do not ignore or put off addressing these issues. As your restoration dentist, Dr. Wu can help you learn how to enhance your smile and your oral health with just one consultation. Dr. Wu and Associates works with a variety of insurance carriers and financing services to help make your cosmetic dentistry treatments affordable. Our finance team is here to advise you on the best way to maximize your insurance benefits and utilize our financing tools.
A smile makeover is a tailored treatment plan that combines multiple treatments to help patients address their unique concerns about their mouths. This can include both cosmetic and restorative dental treatments. For example, some teeth might receive whitening or dental bonding/reshaping while other teeth might need to be replaced with dental implants or bridges. Every patient is unique and our team helps craft comprehensive treatment plans to ensure your best smile!
Teeth whitening is often the most widely done cosmetic procedure. Having your teeth whitened in the office is the best way to whiten your teeth quickly, safely, and effectively. Compared to at-home products, in-office teeth whitening gets your teeth shades whiter and with more consistent results. Beyond teeth whitening, one of the most popular cosmetic treatments is dental veneers. Veneers are synthetic fronts of teeth that can be bonded to a tooth to change its’ appearance.
No, a common misconception is that veneers provide protection against decay. Veneers are a purely cosmetic treatment that helps improve the appearance of your smile. They are different from crowns and fillings. Fillings are used to replace decayed sections of teeth and crowns replace the chewing surface of a tooth either as an anchor for a dental bridge or to replace a weakened section of your tooth. Veneers are simply covers for your teeth. They do not provide any dental health benefits but they can improve how your smile appears.
Usually, insurance does not cover any unnecessary treatments. Since most cosmetic treatments are purely to improve the appearance of your smile, they are often not covered. However, there are some treatments that might be part of a smile makeover that could be covered. For example, if your smile makeover involves orthodontic solutions, many insurance plans provide orthodontic coverage. Similarly, if you need crowns, bridges, or other treatments that restore functionality to your teeth, these treatments are often covered by dental insurance plans. It is important to check with your dental insurance plan. Different plans provide different coverage. It can also be helpful to talk to your dentist about other options like dental financing through third parties.
Most dentists will not recommend any treatments that weaken your oral health. At the end of the day, a dentist’s number one goal is their patient’s oral health. That said, like any procedure, there can be complications and risks. Some cosmetic treatments require the removal of a small amount of tooth enamel which can increase your risk of tooth decay. This is why it is important to talk to your dentist about the treatments you are interested in and even more important to make sure you are taking care of your teeth and gums every day.
