Professional Teeth Whitening That Works

Stained or discolored teeth can make you look older and feel self-conscious about your appearance. Coffee, tea, red wine, and simply aging all contribute to yellowing teeth that won’t respond to over-the-counter whitening products. Our professional whitening treatments deliver dramatic results that drugstore strips simply can’t match.

Dr. Lewis offers both in-office and take-home whitening options. In-office treatments brighten your smile several shades in just one appointment, perfect when you need quick results for an upcoming event. Take-home kits provide gradual whitening you control from the comfort of your own home, using custom-fitted trays that ensure even coverage and minimize sensitivity.

Professional whitening gives you a radiant smile that looks natural, not artificially white. We work with you to achieve the perfect shade that complements your skin tone and overall appearance.

Porcelain Veneers for a Picture-Perfect Smile

Veneers represent one of the most versatile options in cosmetic dentistry in Brea. These thin shells of dental porcelain bond to the front surface of your teeth, correcting multiple aesthetic concerns at once. Veneers can address:

Chips and cracks
Gaps between teeth
Stubborn stains that won’t respond to whitening
Misshapen or undersized teeth
Minor alignment issues
Worn enamel

Dr. J. Dennis Lewis carefully designs each veneer to match your facial features and create harmony in your smile. The porcelain material mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel, so your veneers blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. Most patients need just two appointments to complete their veneer treatment, and the results last for many years with proper care.

Cosmetic Bonding for Quick Improvements

Sometimes, extensive treatment is not necessary to make a big difference in your smile. Cosmetic bonding offers a fast, affordable solution for minor imperfections. This procedure uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, fill gaps, reshape irregular teeth, or cover small stains.

The entire bonding process typically takes just one visit. Dr. Lewis applies the resin directly to your tooth, sculpts it into the desired shape, then hardens it with a special light. The material bonds securely to your natural tooth structure and can last several years. Bonding works especially well for teenagers and young adults who want cosmetic improvements but may not be ready for more permanent restorations.

Smile Makeovers That Change Lives

A comprehensive smile makeover might be your best option when you have multiple cosmetic concerns. Our cosmetic dentistry in Brea includes complete transformations that combine several treatments to create stunning results. Dr. Lewis evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and facial structure to develop a cohesive plan that addresses all your aesthetic goals.

A typical smile makeover might include whitening to brighten teeth, veneers to correct shape and alignment issues, and gum contouring to create better proportions. We show you digital previews of your expected results before treatment begins, so you know exactly what to expect. This collaborative approach ensures you feel excited and confident throughout your transformation journey.

Gum Contouring for Better Proportions

A “gummy smile” or uneven gum line can distract from otherwise beautiful teeth. Gum contouring reshapes your gum tissue to reveal more of your teeth and create a balanced, symmetrical appearance. This precise procedure removes excess tissue and perfectly sculpts your gum line to frame your teeth.

Modern techniques make gum contouring comfortable with minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two, and the results enhance your smile permanently. When combined with other cosmetic treatments, gum contouring completes your transformation by ensuring every element of your smile harmonizes harmoniously.

The Art and Science of Beautiful Smiles

Creating exceptional cosmetic results requires more than technical skill. Dr. J. Dennis Lewis brings an artistic eye to every treatment, carefully considering factors like tooth shape, size, color, and how they relate to your lips, face, and overall appearance. This attention to detail ensures your results look natural rather than obviously “done.”

We use high-quality materials and proven techniques that stand the test of time. Your investment in cosmetic dentistry in Brea should deliver lasting value, which is why we never compromise on quality. From the porcelain we select for veneers to the shade we choose for bonding material, every decision focuses on creating a beautiful smile that functions perfectly.

More Than Just Aesthetics

While cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance, many treatments improve function and oral health. Fixing chips prevents further damage. Closing gaps eliminates food traps that can lead to decay. Correcting worn teeth protects them from additional wear and reduces jaw strain. Dr. Lewis considers both form and function when planning your treatment, ensuring your beautiful new smile also supports long-term oral health.
