Few aspects of your appearance can draw as much attention as a beautiful, brilliant, white smile. In recent years, cosmetic dentistry has enjoyed enormous popularity for its ability to restore beautiful smiles. If you are looking for the best cosmetic dentistry Monroe, WA has to offer, Dr. Kumi offers a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatment options to best suit your individual needs.

A bright and beautiful smile can help boost your self-esteem, confidence, and overall appearance. Our cosmetic dental treatments can improve or correct your bite, whiten teeth, and change the shape and size of teeth.

TOOTH BONDING

Using a resin that adheres to the front or back teeth, bonding can help to restore decayed teeth, lighten stains, close minor gaps or correct crooked teeth. Light etching of the surface of a tooth prepares it for the placement of bonding resin on top. The tooth is bonded, sculpted, colored and shaped. Once finished with a high-intensity curing light, the surface is polished to complete your smile.

A convenient procedure often completed in just one visit, bonding can significantly improve the appearance of a tooth, and typically lasts three to five years (or longer) before needing any repairs.

DENTAL VENEERS

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth, and are generally used to improve the overall look of your smile, especially if you have uneven chipped, stained, or crooked teeth.

Ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to stains from substances like coffee, tea, or tobacco.

The placement of veneers generally takes about three dental visits, and involves an initial consultation with Dr. Kumi. Impressions of your teeth will be made and sent to the lab for the fabrication of your veneers.

The veneers will then be placed and bonded to your teeth during the third visit. Dr. Kumi will ensure that your veneers are crafted from the highest quality porcelains and bonded with the most advanced and proven materials available.

Veneers require the same type and amount of care as regular teeth. Brushing twice daily and flossing once a day, along with regularly scheduled trips to see Dr. Kumi, will ensure a bright, healthy smile for years to come.
