Current trends in dentistry reflect our patients’ desire for long-lasting treatments that also look great. At Scripps Center for Dental Care in La Jolla, our cosmetic dentistry specialists recognize that all forms of dental care are directly related to appearance, and we strive to help our patients achieve the very best in function and aesthetics when it comes to their smiles. Research shows that people with healthy smiles are more likely to be hired for jobs, be respected for their opinions, and have higher levels of self-confidence. As materials, techniques, and technology improve, we are increasingly able to provide subtle yet effective treatments that look beautiful and blend perfectly with natural teeth. Plus, with a number of anesthesia and sedation options available at our La Jolla San Diego cosmetic dental practice, it is more comfortable than ever to undergo aesthetic procedures.
With BriteSmile® teeth whitening system at our San Diego dentistry office, we are able to whiten and brighten our patients’ smiles in a single session that lasts only about 90 minutes. Many of our patients who undergo tooth whitening find that their teeth become dramatically whiter—up to nine shades—in one easy visit!

At Scripps Center for Dental Care in La Jolla, our cosmetic dentistry specialists are proud to offer the unique service of freehand bonding to our patients as a treatment option. Bonding is a process involving the use of composite resin filling materials to hand sculpt tooth colored material chairside to improve the color and shape and treat rotations and fractures of the front teeth. This process can normally be performed in one visit without the use of a dental laboratory or temporary restorations. This provides an economical option for transitional or permanent smile re-design and is perfect for young patients.

At Scripps Center for Dental Care in San Diego, our certified cosmetic dentistry specialists provide only the most modern and aesthetically-pleasing treatments to our patients. This commitment is the reason why we only place composite (tooth-colored) fillings in the back teeth and have totally eliminated metal, amalgam fillings from our practice.
