Cosmetic dentistry is about more than just appearances—it’s about helping you feel confident, empowered, and proud every time you smile. At The Dental Office Encino, we understand the impact a beautiful smile can have on your life. Whether you’re preparing for a big event, want to make a strong first impression, or simply want to feel better when you look in the mirror, cosmetic dentistry can help you get there.

If you’ve been wondering what cosmetic dentistry involves and how it could benefit you, here’s your complete guide—plus an inside look at the services we proudly offer right here in Encino.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry includes dental procedures designed to enhance the look of your teeth, gums, and bite. These treatments focus on improving the color, shape, alignment, and overall appearance of your smile. While many cosmetic procedures also support oral health and function, their primary goal is aesthetic.

At The Dental Office Encino, we combine advanced technology with an artistic eye to create natural, beautiful results tailored to each patient. Every smile is unique—and your treatment plan should be too.

Services We Offer at The Dental Office Encino

Our Encino-based practice offers a full suite of cosmetic dentistry options. Whether you’re looking for a subtle touch-up or a complete transformation, our skilled team—Drs. Howard and Howard—will guide you every step of the way.

1. Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells that bond to the front surface of your teeth. They are ideal for hiding cosmetic imperfections like stains, chips, gaps, or mild misalignment. Veneers provide long-lasting results with a natural look and feel, making them one of the most popular cosmetic procedures we perform.

If you’re looking for a dramatic change with minimal preparation, veneers may be the perfect solution.

2. Smile Makeover

A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic and restorative procedures to dramatically enhance your smile. Depending on your goals, this may include veneers, Invisalign®, bonding, teeth whitening, or even restorative work like crowns or implants.

At The Dental Office Encino, we work closely with you to design a comprehensive plan that fits your timeline, budget, and aesthetic goals—because your smile deserves a tailored approach.

3. Dental Bonding and Contouring

For minor imperfections, dental bonding and contouring offer a fast and cost-effective way to improve your smile. This technique uses tooth-colored composite resin to correct flaws such as small chips, cracks, discoloration, and uneven spacing.

The procedure is quick (usually completed in one visit) and can make a noticeable difference with little to no downtime.

4. Invisalign® Clear Aligners

If crooked teeth or bite issues are holding you back, Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to braces. These clear, removable aligners gradually shift your teeth into alignment—no wires, no brackets, and no restrictions on your favorite foods.

Invisalign treatment is especially popular among adults and teens who want straighter teeth without the visibility of traditional braces. At The Dental Office Encino, we use digital imaging to create your custom aligners and monitor your progress closely throughout your treatment.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry offers more than aesthetic improvements. Patients often report feeling:

• More confident in social and professional settings
  
  
• More motivated to care for their oral health
  
  
• Happier and more satisfied with their appearance
  
  
• Relieved from minor discomfort caused by misaligned or damaged teeth
  
  

Plus, many cosmetic procedures (like bonding, veneers, and Invisalign) also improve functionality—making it easier to chew, speak, and clean your teeth effectively.
