Four cosmetic dentistry procedures to reclaim your most confident smile
Cosmetic dentistry means a lot of different things. But, regardless of the specific procedure or combination of procedures that may be best to beautify your smile, know that you are in excellent hands with the expertise of Dr. Joyce Kahng. Dr. Kahng leads Orange And Magnolia Dental Studio and is highly regarded as a talented cosmetic dentist in Costa Mesa, California, and beyond. Below, we highlight four options for services to enhance the shade, shape, size, and other features of your teeth to reclaim the beauty of your smile.
No. 1: Professional teeth whitening
Are you frustrated by the lack of results from OTC whitening toothpastes and kits? You are at the right place for teeth whitening that actually works! Dr. Kahng does not prescribe one-size-fits-all treatment. Rather, she listens to your concerns and evaluates your teeth to determine the best, customized option to meet and exceed your needs and goals. She also provides both in-office “power” whitening and take-home whitening with custom trays.
No. 2: Dental bonding
Here, Dr. Kahng’s artistry really shines. She prepares, applies, and expertly shapes a tooth-colored resin material to chipped or otherwise cosmetically “imperfect” teeth. Once the material has been secured or hardened with a special light, these imperfections in your smile are covered up. So, she effectively makes flaws in the smile disappear in just one visit.

Veneers are a popular alternative to dental bonding. They disguise many of the same imperfections, such as chips, gaps, visible craters or bulges, stubborn discoloration, and irregularities in the size or shape of the teeth. However, veneers are made from porcelain instead of resin. Porcelain is considered a particularly natural-looking option because it “mimics” the appearance of tooth enamel. It also resists staining well and is a highly durable option. Because porcelain lasts so long without degradation in its appearance or strength, many of our patients find veneers to be a terrific value and investment in their smiles.
No. 4: Restorative plus cosmetic dentistry
Dental restorations and other restorative dentistry treatments to correct damaged teeth are durable, strong, and pleasing to the eye. Dr. Kahng lends her considerable cosmetic dentistry skills in all that she does, be it rebuilding a tooth with a porcelain dental crown, replacing teeth with aesthetic bridges or dentures, or repositioning crooked, crowded, and otherwise misaligned teeth with discreet Invisalign® aligners that blend in with the rest of the smile. Both restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedures may also be combined as part of your one-of-a-kind smile makeover.
