One-Day Smile Makeover in San Diego, CA

La Jolla Cosmetic Dentistry is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, such as CEREC®, which allows us to perform smile makeovers in one day.
Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CEREC®, is a machine that can fabricate, craft, and produce durable ceramic restorations in one hour. The impressions of your teeth are uploaded into the software used to craft the veneers or crowns.
At times, Dr. Kohani will be assisted by a master ceramist who will help facilitate the fabrication of the ceramic restorations. Ana Torres, our orthodontic assistant, is also a certified CEREC® designer who assists in the fabrication process. Your one-visit smile makeover may include the following:

This popular procedure involves the removal of stains to reveal a brighter smile. La Jolla Cosmetic Dentistry uses advanced whitening methods for in-office teeth whitening, such as:

• IVERI™
• OPALESCENCE® BOOST
• KÖR®

We also provide at-home whitening kits to maintain your results.

This transformative cosmetic treatment uses custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of prepared teeth to address issues like chips, cracks, permanent discoloration, or gaps. Veneers are a transformative, durable, natural-looking solution to enhance your smile.

Tooth preparation for porcelain veneers involves removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a proper fit and strong bond.

Porcelain crowns, or caps, are placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their shape, strength, and function. The process involves tooth preparation, impression-taking, and the placement of a custom-made crown.

Dental bridges are designed to replace one or two missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) secured to crowns that are placed over the prepared, healthy, adjacent teeth.

Tooth preparation for crowns involves reducing the size of damaged teeth or those used to secure a bridge.

If you have metal fillings and want to replace them with tooth-colored composite fillings, this can also be done during your visit.

Correcting misaligned teeth is achieved through orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners. La Jolla Cosmetic Dentistry offers advanced orthodontic options for discreet and efficient teeth straightening.

For those seeking discreet teeth straightening, Invisalign® provides an innovative solution. These clear aligners gradually shift teeth into their desired positions, offering a virtually invisible orthodontic experience.

Accelerated orthodontics expedites the entire orthodontic process, reducing treatment time.

Dental implants are a more comprehensive tooth replacement method than bridges, as they provide artificial tooth roots and crowns. While they take longer than a bridge, dental implants help preserve underlying bone and help prevent resorption, a condition that can lead to unwanted changes in the shape of the jaw.
