Murrieta Cosmetic Dentistry – Murrieta Bleaching Veneers
We can perform cosmetic dentistry procedures, from subtle changes to major repairs. Many techniques and options exist to treat discolored teeth, chipped or missing. Your dentist can reshape your teeth, close spaces, or restore worn or short teeth. Standard procedures include bleaching, bonding, crowns, and reshaping and contouring.
These improvements are not always just cosmetic. Many of these treatments can improve oral problems, such as biting.
Bleaching
BleachingBleaching is a common and popular chemical process used to whiten teeth. Some people bleach their teeth to make stains disappear, and others bleach to get a whiter shade.
Discoloration occurs in the enamel, and it is caused by medication, coffee, tea, and cigarettes. Discoloration also can be hereditary or due simply to getting older.
Your dentist can perform bleaching in the office or, under dental supervision, at home. Many patients enjoy bleaching at home because it is more convenient. Treatment begins when your dentist creates a custom mouthpiece. This ensures the correct amount of whitening solution is used. It also makes sure that your teeth are exposed. Whitening at home takes two to four weeks. This depends on the desired shade you wish to achieve. Whitening in the office may call for one or more 45-minute to one-hour visits to your dentist’s office.
Bonding
Bonding is tooth-colored material used to fill in gaps or change the color of teeth. Requiring a single office visit, bonding lasts several years. Bonding is more susceptible to staining or chipping than other forms of restoration. Bonded resins may be the material of choice when teeth are chipped or slightly decayed. Bonding also is used as a tooth-colored filling for small cavities. Additionally, it can be used to close spaces between teeth. Sometimes, it covers the entire outside surface to change its color and shape.
Crowns
CrownsCrowns, also known as caps, cover a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and appearance. Due to their cost, they are used in cases where other procedures will not be effective. Crowns have the longest life expectancy of all cosmetic restorations, and we can do crowns in a single visit.
Veneers – Best in Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic placed over the front teeth. They help change your teeth’ color or shape. Veneers are used d on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, oddly shaped, or crooked. Little or no anesthesia is needed. Veneers treat some of the same problems as bonding.
This treatment is an alternative to more expensive crowns. The procedure requires your dentist to take an impression of your tooth. Before the custom-made veneer cements the tooth, your dentist will buff the tooth, compensating for the veneer’s added thickness. Once the cement is between the veneer and your tooth, a light beam is used to harden it. Porcelain veneers require more than one visit, fabricated in a laboratory, and Veneers have a longer life expectancy and color stability than bonding.
Bleaching Veneers
We can bleach the back of the teeth with translucent, lighter-style veneers. When we bleach the backside of veneered teeth, the natural tooth will whiten up. That, in turn, will show through the porcelain veneer. You will need to bleach all your teeth, and your natural teeth will discolor faster than a veneered tooth.
Contouring and Reshaping
Tooth reshaping and contouring is a procedure to correct crooked teeth. They also help with chipped or irregularly shaped teeth. Overlapping teeth can be dealt with in a single session. Tooth reshaping and contouring is used to alter your teeth’ length, shape, or position. Contouring teeth may also help correct minor problems with bites. It is common for bonding to be combined with tooth reshaping.
This procedure is ideal for candidates with normal, healthy teeth. Your dentist will take X-rays to evaluate the size and location of each tooth’s pulp, ensuring enough bone between the teeth to support them.

Veneers are not reversible, as the process involves removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth’s surface. However, if necessary, veneers can be replaced with new ones. It’s important to discuss the potential benefits and risks with your dentist before making any decisions.
The best way to determine if veneers are the right option for you is to schedule a consultation with a reputable dentist. During the consultation, the dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals and concerns, and recommend the most suitable treatment options, including veneers.
The cost of dental veneers can vary depending on factors such as the type of veneer, the number of veneers needed, and your location. On average, the cost per tooth can range from $925 to $2,500. It’s important to note that dental insurance companies may not cover veneers or may offer limited coverage.
Veneers may not be suitable for everyone. Good candidates for veneers are individuals with healthy teeth and gums who have cosmetic concerns such as discoloration, chipped teeth, or gaps. Extensive dental issues or concerns involving the entire tooth may require alternative treatments.
The lifespan of veneers can vary depending on factors such as the type of veneer (porcelain or composite resin), your oral hygiene habits, and the care you provide. On average, veneers can last between 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance and regular dental treatments.
Standard cosmetic dentistry procedures include teeth whitening, full bonding, prepless veneers, traditional veneers, snap-on smile, and implants. There are different methods of how to implement each process. This depends on which is the best treatment for you. Cosmetic dentistry can help you to look and feel your best.
The cost of a dental implant is like replacing a tooth with a fixed bridge. Sometimes, dental implants qualify for insurance coverage. Every dental insurance policy is different. The cost varies based on the patient’s needs. Issues include bone quantity and region. Dr. Bao will provide a quote for your dental implants near me based on your needs.
Humans are “blessed” with both baby teeth and adult/permanent teeth. When you lose teeth due to dental decay or gum disease, dental implants can replace them. Dental implants are made of titanium and can never get dental decay! Dental implants can last a lifetime. They improve your appearance, confidence, and ability to eat the foods you like. They allow you to have an active lifestyle without worrying about your teeth. Ask Dr. Bao about one day dental implants near me.
Anyone missing teeth is a candidate for dental implants. Talk to a prosthodontist about your case.
A dental implant by itself is not a tooth! A dental implant is a prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. Essentially, it is a small titanium post/fixture. It can be installed into the jawbone, on top of which a single crown (cap), a fixed bridge, a partial denture, or a full denture can be attached. A structure called an abutment is connected to the implant. Then the artificial tooth/teeth are attached. There are 3 parts to an “implant tooth”: 1) the dental implant itself, 2) the abutment, and 3) the artificial tooth.

Debra Davidowitz2023-10-18Good Day, My name is Debby and I have been a patient of Dr. Nyugens now for over a decade at Promenade Dental. Doctor and staff, which includes Edith are incredibly wonderful, so kind, caring and compassionate, yet professional. They go above and beyond to care for their patients which includes painless treatments in a calming atmosphere. Dr. Nyugen met me at his office for an emergency visit during the height of covid and I will forever be thankful for it! I refer family and friends who have a pleasant experience also. Most Sincerely!Jay D2023-10-13I am completely terrified of the dentist. I neglected getting anything done for years and years because of bad experiences and just general fear and anxiety. Well I got sick of having an aching jaw everyday so I came in and got a x-ray and consultation and they told me what work needed to be done. The price was pretty much half of what comparable dentists wanted and they were really really nice to me. So I saved up the money and went back in for the procedure. The doctor gave me some anxiety meds which completely relaxed me and they were just great about everything and I can honestly say I have way less fear and anxiety about going back to the dentist. The best part was they did all my procedures at once so I wouldn't have to make return visits. I got a tooth extraction, a crown, a handful of cavities, a deep cleaning and some other stuff all done at the exact same time. It's been 3 days now and everything is healing beautifully I'm no longer in any pain and I'm just grateful. So if you have any anxiety about going to the dentist, this is the place for you. Oh and tell the doctor I said get rid of that creepy tooth picture in the waiting room haha!Philip Canaday2023-09-13Skilled, friendly, and includes you every step of the way.

Got an appointment quickly when I thought it was an emergency. My favorite dentist ever!!Tom Haynes2023-08-11Dr. Nguyen does a great job. He is always on time and very honest. Never has you do unnecessary treatments, just to make extra money. I love that he is a solo practitioner and runs his own shop. That keeps his overhead costs low and he knows you more personally as a patient. All my family comes to see him. Best dentist I've ever had.Alicia Alvarado2023-08-11Absolutely the best care! I became a patient in July of last year and needed some emergency dental work. I was able to get in the same day and have a crown and root canal done with zero pain! I recently had another toothache and was again provided a prompt same day appointment. Hands down the best dental experience I’ve had! Zero pain, zero wait time and very quick care. Pricing is always up front and affordable also. I used to dread making dentist appointments and coming in but coming here has completely shifted my experience. 100% recommend!!Blue Sheppard2023-08-04Dr Nguyen is very quick but very gentle, he has more practical experience than most others, so my wife and I recommend his fine dentistry.
