Cosmetic Dentistry: Custom Smile Transformations

Invisalign® gradually shifts teeth into alignment using a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners. Each set is worn for two weeks before progressing to the next. The process begins with a digital scan of your teeth, creating a precise 3D model to design your aligners. You’ll visit us periodically for progress checks using advanced imaging technology. Aligners are removable for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene, offering unmatched convenience compared to traditional braces.

Invisalign® is ideal for patients with crooked or crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, or cross-bites. During your consultation, we use digital x-rays and scans to determine if Invisalign® suits your needs. Severe cases may require traditional orthodontics, which we’ll discuss transparently.

Teeth whitening is generally safe for patients with good oral health, intact teeth, and non-sensitive gums. Ideal candidates should have healthy gums and no untreated cavities. We do not recommend whitening during pregnancy or for patients with extensive dental work (e.g., crowns or veneers) on front teeth.

During your consultation, Dr. Zubkov will ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment. For take-home whitening, we provide custom trays that fit your smile perfectly, allowing you to whiten at your own pace while maintaining results for years. Refill gels are always available for touch-ups.

For patients preferring at-home care, our Opalescence® system uses custom trays and professional-strength carbamide peroxide gel. The gel breaks down into hydrogen peroxide, safely penetrating enamel to lift deep stains. Available in four concentrations (10%, 15%, 20%, or 35%), all strengths deliver the same brilliant results over time.

We will recommend the best concentration based on your sensitivity level, goals, and oral health. The trays ensure even gel distribution, and you’ll receive personalized instructions for daily use (typically 30–60 minutes). This system is ideal for busy lifestyles or gradual whitening preferences.

Veneers are made from porcelain or composite resin, both color-matched to your natural enamel for a beautifully natural look. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and provide a luminous finish, while composite resin offers a more affordable option. During your consultation, we’ll take detailed scans of your smile to create veneers that fit perfectly and enhance your facial features.

The process begins with a digital scan to design your ideal smile. A small amount of enamel is gently removed to ensure a precise fit, and temporary veneers may be placed while your custom restorations are crafted. At your final appointment, the veneers are permanently bonded using high-strength dental cement, adjusted for optimal comfort and bite alignment.

Dental bonding is a quick and effective cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your smile. By applying a durable composite resin, our dentists can correct minor imperfections such as gaps, discoloration, and misshapen teeth. This treatment is an excellent option for patients looking for a simple, non-invasive way to improve their smile without the need for extensive dental work.

During the procedure, a composite resin material is carefully applied to the affected tooth. Because the resin starts as a pliable material, it can be sculpted and shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Once the desired shape is achieved, a special curing light hardens the material, followed by trimming and polishing to create a smooth and natural finish. To ensure the most aesthetic result, we match the composite resin to your natural tooth color or select a slightly lighter shade for a brighter smile.
