Smile Makeovers

A cosmetic smile makeover is a tailored series of treatments that address various aesthetic concerns to transform the overall appearance of your smile. A smile makeover may include a combination of the following cosmetic dentistry and restorative dental treatments:

• Professional teeth whitening – Brighten the smile quickly and easily with professional-strength bleaching solutions.
• Porcelain veneers – Covering imperfections with veneers is a fast and effective way of enhancing the appearance of the smile, especially on the front teeth.
• Cosmetic dental bonding – Teeth contouring can be achieved with dental bonding, as well as disguising imperfections such as spaces or cracked teeth.
• Clear aligner orthodontics – Imagine straightening your teeth without metal brackets and wires using our clear aligner orthodontics alternative.
• Dental crowns – Covering and strengthening teeth can be achieved by fabricating and bonding dental crowns over the natural tooth structure for an extra layer of strength and protection.
• Tooth-colored fillings – Avoid silver amalgam fillings and instead opt for a more aesthetically enhanced approach that tooth-colored fillings provide.
• Full mouth reconstruction – Patients with several functional or health concerns within the smile may want to consider the advantages of full mouth reconstruction.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers allow our patients to dramatically transform their smile's appearance quickly and easily. Veneers can also eliminate the need for other restorations, such as dental crowns, which involve removing much of the natural tooth structure. Veneers are a simple, effective solution for achieving your desired cosmetic dentistry results!

At Derek H. Tang, DDS, we offer porcelain and composite dental veneers. Each dental veneer is a thin, custom-made shell that attaches to the teeth' front to create a beautiful appearance. Dental veneers may be suitable for your smile if you have the following aesthetic concerns:

• Cracked or broken teeth
• Stained, discolored, or yellow teeth.
• Crooked teeth
• Gaps between teeth

To ensure you achieve the desired results, Dr. Tang can create a trial smile, a quick, tooth-colored mockup designed to resemble your final new smile. With a trial smile, you get a preview of your enhanced smile, allowing you and Dr. Tang to make any necessary adjustments beforehand to ensure all objectives are met!

Dental Implants

Are you missing one or more teeth? Dr. Tang is an expert in permanent tooth restoration with dental implants!

Dental implants are known for their natural-looking, long-lasting restoration abilities. Using titanium posts implanted into the jawbone for a strong, secure fit, these restorations improve the complete function of the smile, making it easier to enjoy your favorite foods. They also promote healthy growth in the jawbone.

Our office offers the following dental implant systems:

• Single Dental Implants
• All-on-4® Dental Implants
• Hybrid Dental Implants
• Implant-Retained Dentures

Zoom! Teeth Whitening

When our patients are asked what represents a beautiful, healthy smile, their first response is often “white teeth!” Over time, a white smile may become discolored or stained due to lifestyle choices, select foods and beverages, or even genetics. With professional teeth whitening, our patients will find brightening their teeth can be done quickly and easily!

There are several different ways patients can brighten their smiles with the help of our team, including the following teeth-whitening services:

• Zoom! laser teeth whitening – With Zoom! teeth whitening, patients can achieve a brighter smile in just one appointment with the whitening process. Dental hygienists clean the teeth, and laser light activates surface bleaching gel. Most patients can whiten their smile up to eight shades.
• At-home teeth whitening kits – For patients who want more control over the whitening process, Dr. Tang may recommend custom take-home whitening trays and Opalescence gel. Patients wear the trays with the gel daily until their smile reaches the desired shade.
• Teeth whitening strips – Our team may provide teeth whitening strips that are convenient, discreet, and grab-and-go, allowing patients to whiten their teeth from wherever they are!
• Whitening for Life program – We also offer professional teeth whitening through our “Whitening for Life” program. This program includes a whitening tray and gel that patients can take home to whiten their smile as needed. Each time they visit the dentist for a routine cleaning and checkup, they can obtain more whitening gel for free!

Clear Teeth Aligners

Derek H. Tang offers custom teeth aligners, also known as smile aligners, for patients seeking to straighten and reposition their smiles. Aligners are often preferred over traditional orthodontics because they are invisible and removable.

We provide SureSmile and Invisalign® systems and clear orthodontic aligners in-house. Both options yield fast, healthy results, but our in-house offer is more affordable! Clear aligners are often recommended for those with misalignment, gaps, overcrowding, and crooked teeth.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Composite tooth bonding is a dental treatment often performed to restore or enhance a tooth's appearance. This cosmetic dentistry solution is readily available for patients visiting our Sunnyvale dental office.

Composite tooth bonding might be used to:

• Conceal a gap between two teeth
• Cover a permanently stained tooth
• Repair a chipped or cracked tooth
• Extend the length of a tooth above the gum line
• Address a tooth with an unusual shape or contour

The placement of composite dental bonding is not painful. Your dentist will use a topical numbing solution when filling the tooth and preparing the surface for dental bonding. The bonding is placed, shaped, cured with a special light, and filed and polished to resemble natural tooth enamel.

Composite resin bonding addresses most simple concerns and is often highly affordable for patients. The speed of the procedure and the natural appearance make it a reliable and desirable choice for many of our patients!
