Pleasanton Dentist - Total Wellness - Smiles by Design


Total Wellness -

We approach cosmetic dental care from a total wellness perspective - your overall health will be improved as part of a dental care program, which includes aspects of the care and maintenance of the gums and the care of the jaw muscles and joints (TMJ) as well as tooth care. This approach is called “aesthetic dentistry.”

Aesthetic dentistry is not just for “high profile” people such as models, movie stars or media personalities. It is used every day for co-workers, family members and neighbors - in short, people from everywhere.
  • An adult who has suffered through their teens too embarrassed to smile because of discolored teeth.
  • A senior wanting a more youthful, healthier appearance.
  • Victims of domestic violence (such as though we see from Shepherd's Gate here in Livermore).
  • Individuals affected by auto or sporting accidents.
A variety of techniques have been used to correct problems and improve a person's smile and appearance such as crowns (caps), bridges or implants, veneers and tooth whitening techniques.

Veneers - can be used to correct crooked, chipped or broken teeth.

Crowns and Bridges - are restorations to restore damaged or missing teeth as well as to correct bite dysfunction.

Tooth Whitening – there are several effective means of whitening stained and discolored teeth that are more effective than the products sold over the counter in stores and through the mail.
Aesthetic dentistry not only improves smiles (which is what cosmetic dentistry does), it also includes improvements in the health of all of the support tissues such as gums and bone as well as the muscles and joints that allow comfortable use of the teeth. In short, the health benefits derived from aesthetic dentistry include the obvious smile enhancement but just as importantly the boost in a person's self-image. Improving your self-image and the increased self-esteem may provide confidence to pursue a new career or may attract a mate.
