Common Aesthetic Dentistry Procedures at Bella Risa Dental

At Bella Risa Dental, we provide comprehensive cosmetic dental treatment procedures designed to improve your smile. Whether you are interested in straightening your teeth, brightening your teeth, or even concealing your teeth, we have the right treatment option for you.

• Teeth Whitening: This one of the most popular, simplest, and least expensive ways to improve your smile. Teeth whitening options at Bella Risa Dental are designed to lighten the color of your teeth and enhance the overall appearance of your smile. Unlike store-bought teeth bleaching products, our professional teeth whitening treatment removes both interior and exterior stains, causes no tooth sensitivity, and won’t irritate your gums.
• Tooth-Colored Fillings: The most common use of fillings is to treat tooth cavities, but we also use them to repair broken or cracked teeth and teeth that have been worn down from misuse such as tooth grinding or nail-biting. At Bella Risa Dental, we use a tooth-colored resin material to fill the cavity or crack, even the tooth’s surface and improve the tooth function and appearance.
• Dental Bonding: This procedure can help you improve the appearance and function of teeth affected by minor imperfections such as discolorations, chips, discolorations, gaps, and even misalignments. We apply a tooth-colored, durable oral resin to each affected tooth and then use a high-intensity light that causes the resin to harden. Once the resin hardens, we shape and polish it to match your surrounding teeth for the most natural-looking chipped tooth repair effect. 
• Porcelain Veneers: These are custom-made caps that go over your natural teeth. Our porcelain veneers are made from medical-grade porcelain and are durable, exceptionally natural-looking, and even stain resistant. Each veneer is bonded to the front of your tooth using a dental adhesive, completely concealing and enhancing your natural smile. We use porcelain veneers to resolve numerous dental cosmetic issues ranging from noticeable gaps between your teeth, tooth misalignment, tooth staining to cracked or damaged enamel.
• Inlays & Onlays: Also known as indirect fillings, inlays and onlays preserve healthy teeth as much as possible and are an alternative to crowns. We use inlays and onlays when a tooth has insufficient tooth structure to support a filling or mild to moderate decay. These fillings are made in our dental laboratory from porcelain or ceramic composite material and attached to the teeth with adhesive dental cement. Inlays are placed directly onto the center of a tooth, while onlays cover the tooth’s entire surface. They provide support to restore the shape of your teeth, strengthen teeth, and prevent any further deterioration or decay.
• Porcelain Crowns: These are dental crowns made from porcelain used to replace the entire damaged or decayed tooth above the gum line, restoring its shape, appearance, size, and strength. We use porcelain crowns to hold a cracked tooth together, keep a weak tooth from breaking, or cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth. 
• Smile Makeovers: At Bella Risa Dental, our smile makeovers combine various cosmetic dental treatment procedures to transform your smile. Our talented dentist, Dr. Iliana Hernandez Infante, DDS, will discuss your ultimate smile goals and custom design and create a smile makeover that’s beautiful, natural-looking, long-lasting.

How Much Does Cosmetic Dental Treatment Cost?  

The cost of cosmetic teeth procedures varies depending on the type and complexity of the procedure. Though most insurance providers consider cosmetic dentistry procedures to be elective and don’t cover them, you can get your insurance provider to cover the cost of your procedure if you can prove that it’s being done to repair a damaged tooth. If you have any questions about your insurance coverage, our friendly staff will be happy to assist you in any way we can.
