Cosmetic Dentistry in Coronado

At Coronado Dental Associates, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening. In-office teeth whitening is a good option if you want fast results for an upcoming event or special occasion. During treatment, our team will apply a powerful professional-grade whitener to your teeth and activate the substance with a UV light. Then, the whitener will be rinsed away. In just a single appointment, we can brighten your smile up to 10 shades.

We use Zoom! Whitening kits for our take-home whitening. We’ll provide you with a custom-made set of trays that match your teeth perfectly. Then, you’ll follow our instructions to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. Your end results will be identical to in-office whitening, and you won’t have to spend as much time in the dentist’s chair.

Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored dental resin to reshape your tooth and enhance color. The resin is applied directly to each tooth, then molded into the proper shape and size. The process is fast, non-invasive, and affordable.

Shaping & contouring (also known as enameloplasty) are often used alongside bonding. These procedures involve gently buffing away a thin layer of enamel from surrounding teeth to remove imperfections like small chips, pointed teeth, and uneven teeth.

Veneers are a type of thin, tooth-shaped dental prosthetic, usually made out of ceramic porcelain material. They are designed to fit over your existing teeth after they have been trimmed, covering up the front surfaces. These versatile treatments can correct a wide variety of cosmetic issues, including stained, chipped teeth, gaps in your smile, and uneven or misshapen teeth.

Uveneers are very similar to veneers, with two exceptions: they are much thinner and are made of composite material. Usually, Uveneers are around 0.2 mm thick (compared to 0.5 mm for traditional veneers). This means they can often be placed without requiring the trimming of any natural enamel, making them completely reversible.

If you have multiple cosmetic issues and require more than 1-2 treatments, we may recommend a cosmetic makeover. If this is the case, Dr. Meadows or Dr. Villalobos will consult with you to determine your needs and preferences, then design a customized treatment plan. Our treatment plans will address each issue in order of importance to you, and we will always work at your pace.
