An Amazing Smile Starts With Santa Monica Cosmetic Dentistry By Hale & Hale, DDS

Jill Hannity was surprised by the way we approached her veneers:

“They didn’t come in and spackle over what I had before. My dentist made sure that my gums and the entire structure was in pristine condition before he proceeded with my veneers. It was gorgeous, the work he did.”

Hale & Hale, DDS dentists practice Santa Monica cosmetic dentistry with the belief that every smile, like every person, is unique; and strive to make sure your smile compliments your face and your bite. When you visit Hale & Hale, you will be presented with a wide range of cosmetic options suited to your needs. In most cases we can meet you for a cosmetic consultation on the same day you call. We will cover all of the options available to you and advise on which ones will work the best with your lifestyle.

Here’s a tip: Cosmetic dentistry improves more than just the look of your smile. It improves you health too! A straight smile without gaps is easier to clean, which reduces your chance of developing future dental problems. And if your teeth are in good working order, you can see gains in your nutritional health because it will be easier to properly chew food.

Some of the popular cosmetic dental procedures provided by Hale & Hale, DDS:

This clear, undetectable method is a great way to straighten teeth. It is as effective as traditional metal braces and is removable for brushing and eating!

Tooth Whitening

Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment to whiten and brighten the natural tooth enamel. The procedure can be done in the dental office with or without a light as well as at home with custom or stock (preloaded trays). The active ingredients vary depending upon the venue of the procedure and range from superoxyl (bleach), carmide peroxide with different strengths (custom trays) or hydrogen peroxide with different strengths ( pre-loaded trays).

Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are a very common solution for chipped, cracked, or worn teeth. The filling is matched to the color of your other teeth, so if you don’t want metal fillings, this is a great solution for you.

When a filling can’t restore the existing tooth structure, porcelain crowns are typically the solution. The crown completely covers the existing tooth, and because it’s custom-matched to the shape and color of your existing teeth, nobody will notice you have a crown at all. It’ll just look like you have great, natural looking teeth.

Porcelain fixed bridges are a permanent solution to missing teeth. There are a few different types of bridges, so the best way to determine the right solution for you is to discuss it in person. Nobody should have to live with missing teeth – let us help.

If you have chipped, dull, rotated or gapped teeth, ask us about porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are known to be the most durable, life-like , and esthetic cosmetic dental solutions for a plethora of dental challenges. Veneers are a rapid way to adjust the alignment, shape and size of your current teeth. Two visits typically a couple of weeks apart.

Dental Imaging

We have the ability to construct a computer simulated image from a digital photograph projecting a realistic finished smile for the patient.

You deserve to love the look of your smile: the benefits last a lifetime and will have a positive influence on every face-to-face interaction you have.

Today is a great day to start your journey to a brand new smile. Before you know it, you’ll be smiling in every photo and find the renewed self-confidence that comes with a gorgeous smile. Our team has the expertise, techniques, and technology to give you the beautiful smile you have a right to – call us today and let us get you started.
