Start With the Smile You Want. Choose Only What It Takes.
You know what bothers you when you smile. Maybe it's the color, a chip, a gap, or teeth that drifted out of line. What you don't know yet is which treatment fixes it, and whether you'll be talked into more than you need. As a cosmetic dentist in Westlake Village, Dr. Melina Looyzadeh matches each concern to the simplest treatment that solves it.
Cosmetic dentistry is dental care that improves how your teeth and smile look, including their color, shape, size, spacing, and alignment. Common cosmetic treatments include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, clear aligners like Invisalign®, and smile makeovers that combine several treatments into one plan. Good cosmetic work starts with healthy teeth and gums and is planned around your face, so the result looks natural instead of done.
The concern decides the treatment, not the other way around.
A brighter shade without changing your teeth.
Professional whitening lifts stains from coffee, tea, wine, and age, in the office in 1 visit or at home with custom trays. It's the right fit when color is the only thing you'd change.
Explore teeth whiteningBetter shape, proportion, and color on the teeth that show.
Lab-made veneers cover chips, small gaps, worn edges, and stains whitening can't lift. You preview the new look before anything is permanent.
Explore porcelain veneersStraighter teeth without metal brackets or wires.
Clear aligners correct crowding, gaps, and teeth that shifted after braces, usually in about 12 to 18 months. Your consultation and iTero® scan are free.
Explore Invisalign®Several concerns brought together into one smile.
A makeover combines treatments like whitening, Invisalign®, veneers, and bonding in a planned order, and it can be done in phases.
Explore smile makeoversOnly the treatment that fixes the concern you came in with.
Many patients expect veneers to be the answer, but color alone is often a whitening case, and crooked healthy teeth are often an Invisalign® case. Veneers make sense when chips, gaps, and stains overlap on the same teeth. When several concerns affect your whole smile, a makeover puts them in the right order so nothing is overtreated.
A Westlake Village patient came in sure she needed 8 veneers. Her front teeth had yellowed, and one had a small chip she'd hidden in photos for years. Her exam showed healthy, well-aligned teeth with surface staining. Whitening handled the color, and a small bonding repair fixed the chip. She left with the smile she wanted, and no enamel was removed to get there.
