Clear Aligner Therapy - Brentwood, CA

A crown is a cap that restores and protects a tooth with extensive decay, cracks, or one in need of cosmetic improvements. Crowns are also used after tooth canal therapy to protect the weakened tooth and as prostheses for dental implants. A dental bridge consists of crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth, with a false tooth attached/bridged in between them. With both crowns and bridges, modifications must be made to the teeth that are being capped with the crowns. At Balfour Dental, we offer both lab-crafted and CEREC same-day crowns and bridges. Although both options offer long-lasting strength, protection, and natural beauty, CEREC technology with our in-house milling machine enables our team to provide beautiful, customized restorations in just one appointment. The CEREC process eliminates the cumbersome impressions and molds associated with traditional crowns and waiting for the restorations to come back from the dental lab.

A dental veneer is a thin shell hand crafted from porcelain that is placed over a tooth. Porcelain veneers in Brentwood, CA are a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure for creating an attractive smile and protecting the tooth surface from further damage. They are a great option for covering stained or discolored teeth, improving the appearance of misshapen or short teeth, or hiding small chips or gaps. Porcelain closely matches the opacity and color of tooth enamel so it provides beautiful, natural-looking results. During the procedure, a minimal amount of tooth enamel is removed to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance. The porcelain veneers are hand fabricated by a specialized dental lab to seamlessly blend in with your surrounding teeth. Once the veneers are bonded to your teeth, they provide long-lasting natural beauty.

Stained teeth can be a normal part of aging and also a result of tobacco use, drinking beverages such as coffee and tea, eating specific foods, and even a result of taking some medications. Whether you’re simply tired of living with less than dazzling white teeth or want to look your best for a special event, we can help! Zoom! teeth whitening can brighten teeth by multiple shades in just a single session without impacting their physical structure. We also offer take-home whitening kits with customized trays that fit over your teeth. Each of these options can be used as a standalone treatment or combined to deliver the most dramatic whitening results.

Dr. Rayani completed advanced orthodontic training and has achieved certifications for Clear Aligner Therapy such as Invisalign, Clear Correct or SureSmile. In addition to Invisalign, we also offer clear aligners such as ClearCorrect and SureSmile. These different clear aligner therapies are especially good options for adults with functional and cosmetic issues due to crooked teeth that weren’t straightened during their teen years. The clear aligners need to be worn a minimum of 20 hours a day to achieve the most optimal results and are changed every two weeks to gradually attain your desired alignment and smile aesthetics.
