Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers offer an excellent alternative to porcelain crowns. Porcelain veneers can perfect your smile by masking stains, correcting misalignment, and creating uniformity. Santa Monica prosthodontist Hugh Wang expertly applies porcelain veneers to design a well balanced, natural-looking smile. Dr. Wang first administers a local anesthesia and then conservatively removes a thin layer of enamel and makes a mold of the teeth, from which the veneers are laboratory-customized. Dr. Wang works with an exceptional team of ceramists to craft the veneers and achieve a beautiful, translucent result consistent with the patient’s natural teeth. Temporary veneers are worn for about one week until the veneers are ready. Dr. Wang then removes the temporary veneers and bonds the veneers to the teeth. The entire procedure is minimally invasive and takes only a couple visits. Once in place, porcelain veneers look and feel completely natural and can last for years. The results Dr. Wang has achieved using porcelain veneers are astounding; visit our Smile Gallery to see some of our patients’ smile transformations. To find out more about porcelain veneers, please contact our Santa Monica office today.
Prepless Porcelain Veneers
Because of biomaterial advancement, an extra-high-strength ceramic material is capable of pressing porcelain veneers as thin as 0.3mm (similar to a contact lens). These new ceramic materials provide more vitality than those previously used. Patients' smiles can be drastically improved without using shots or dental drills or removing any of the tooth structure; prepless veneers make our patients' dreams of a smile makeover a reality. Dr. Wang has a thorough knowledge of these extra-high-strength porcelain veneers, with a complete understanding of when and how to utilize them. He is able to achieve incredible esthetic appealing results. To find out more about prepless porcelain veneers, please contact our Santa Monica practice today.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are customized to match the patient's natural tooth color and to precisely fit over damaged tooth structure to conceal cracked, badly discolored, injured, or chipped teeth. These teeth need protection and support in order to remain functional without affecting their health and appearance. With porcelain crowns, the damaged teeth remain fully functional and a beautiful, healthy appearance is restored, while damage to the other teeth is mitigated. Crowns can also be used to replace missing teeth in a full-mouth reconstruction by anchoring dental bridges and restoring dental implants. Because of their durability and attractiveness, Dr. Wang provides porcelain crowns at his Santa Monica practice for patients throughout Los Angeles and surrounding areas. Dr. Wang’s unparalleled reputation as a highly skilled board-certified prosthodontist has attracted many high profile patients who travel from all over the world to maintain their star-quality smiles. Our Santa Monica practice provides top-notch porcelain crowns for patients throughout Los Angeles and surrounding areas. For more information about porcelain crowns, please contact our Santa Monica practice today.
Invisalign®
Getting a beautiful smile without braces is now possible with Invisalign®, available at the Santa Monica practice of Dr. Hugh Wang. Invisalign® is an excellent treatment option for teeth that are crowded, widely spaced, or misaligned. Since the Invisalign® aligners are removable, comfortable, and virtually invisible, Invisalign® is a popular choice among many adult patients and teenagers who do not want conspicuous metal braces. The Invisalign® system uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic aligners to gradually move teeth into alignment. In your first visit, Dr. Wang will help decide whether Invisalign® is an appropriate treatment for you. If it is, he will take photographs and molds of your teeth, which he will send to the Invisalign® laboratory. Using the molds and photos, highly trained laboratory technicians will map out your treatment plan with advanced computer technology, fabricating each set of aligners to move your teeth one step closer to their final position. When your Invisalign® aligners are ready, you will pick up the first set from Dr. Wang’s Santa Monica office and receive detailed instructions on how to wear your aligners. Each new set of aligners is delivered every two weeks, and progress is monitored carefully by Dr. Wang. Patients who wear their Invisalign® aligners all the time and remove them only to eat, brush, and floss sometimes complete treatment in as little as 18 months. For more information about Invisalign®, please contact our Santa Monica practice today.
Teeth Whitening
The degree of whiteness seen in people’s teeth varies, as it is determined by genetics and other factors. Because of the advancement of technology, the power bleaching system we use in our office exceeds the built-in, biological limit, attaining shades of white previously unreachable through traditional whitening methods and achieving stunning results, every time. A cool light is used in combination with a new, patented formula, which whitens your teeth in only 40 minutes without sensitivity. This is the most comfortable whitening procedure available today. Teeth whitening treatments can complement other cosmetic dental options such as Invisalign® invisible orthodontics, porcelain veneers, and crowns. For more information about teeth whitening offered at our Santa Monica practice contact us today.
Dental Bonding
The brilliance of a smile can be dulled by stained, chipped, cracked, or misaligned teeth. Bonding provides a quick and painless way to restore your smile’s natural beauty. During the procedure, Dr. Wang applies a thin coat of plastic or resin over the damaged teeth. This will strengthen the teeth and create a very attractive and natural-looking smile. To find out whether bonding is the right option for you, please contact our Santa Monica office today.
Porcelain Inlays/Onlays
Nearly indistinguishable from natural tooth structure, porcelain inlays and onlays are used to repair badly decayed or damaged teeth. Porcelain inlays and onlays, which are bonded to the teeth, look natural and add strength and durability. Contact us today for more information about strong, aesthetically pleasing inlays and onlays.
