Veneers
Veneers, thin shells meticulously crafted from porcelain, are a popular choice for those seeking to enhance their smile. These custom-made shells are permanently bonded to the front surfaces of your natural teeth, providing an immediate transformation to your smile.
Prepless Veneers are a specific type of porcelain veneers that require minimal tooth reduction, making them a less invasive option. Despite their thinness, they are durable and have a translucent appearance that closely mimics natural tooth enamel. With proper care, prepless veneers can last up to 20 years, making them a long-term investment in your smile.
Dr. Rachel Yang is a highly trained aesthetic dentist who collaborates with world-class ceramists from around the globe. Together, they create stunning, confidence-boosting smiles tailored to each individual’s unique features.

She will guide you through the process and help you make an informed decision about your dental health.​

Chipped Tooth
Dental bonding is a simple and cost-effective solution for chipped teeth. Here’s how it works:
-
Preparation: The process begins with the preparation of the affected tooth. The dentist lightly etches the surface of the tooth to create a rough texture, which helps the bonding material adhere better. This step is crucial for the success of the bonding process.
​
-
Bonding Process: A tooth-colored resin is then applied to the tooth. The dentist carefully shapes this resin to mimic the natural contours of your tooth, ensuring a perfect fit. Once the resin is in place, it is hardened using a special ultraviolet light, effectively bonding it to the tooth.
​
-
Natural Look: One of the key benefits of dental bonding is the natural look it provides. The resin used in the process is carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth, ensuring that the bonded tooth blends seamlessly with the rest.
​
-
Advantages: Dental bonding is a conservative, versatile, and quick solution for various dental issues. It requires minimal tooth preparation and can often be completed in a single visit, making it a convenient option for many patients.
​
-
Uses: Dental bonding is not just for repairing chips. It can also be used to cover gaps between teeth, improve the shape of a tooth, and even cover up discoloration. It’s a versatile solution that can address a wide range of dental concerns.

Invisalign
Did you know that approximately 74% of individuals experience malocclusion? This misalignment isn’t just an aesthetic concern; it impacts your oral health and overall well-being.
Why Does It Matter?
-
Oral Hygiene: Crooked teeth make proper cleaning challenging, leading to plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease.
-
Uneven Wear: Malocclusion causes uneven pressure during biting, resulting in wear and fractures.
-
TMJ Disorders: Misaligned jaws strain the TMJ, causing discomfort and headaches.
Beyond Aesthetics:
-
Speech Improvement: Aligned teeth aid clear speech.
-
Digestion: Efficient chewing ensures optimal nutrient absorption.
-
Self-Image: A confident smile boosts self-esteem
-
Bite Evaluation: We analyze upper and lower teeth alignment.
-
Jaw Alignment: Assessing symmetry and function.
-
Overall Health: Identifying underlying issues.
-
Orthodontics: Correcting malocclusion.
-
TMJ Therapy: Alleviating jaw pain.
-
Oral Hygiene Guidance: Maintaining health.

Gummy Smile
Gingivectomy:
A gingivectomy is a surgical procedure that addresses excessive gum tissue, revealing more of the tooth surface. Here’s how it works:
-
Excess Gum Removal: During a gingivectomy, our skilled team removes surplus gum tissue. This exposes more of your teeth, improving the appearance of your smile.
-
Customized Approach: The procedure is tailored to your unique gumline and tooth shape. It’s a precise and effective solution.
​
Botox Treatment:
Botox, derived from Clostridium botulinum, is a popular minimally invasive option for gummy smiles. Here’s how it works:
-
Muscle Relaxation: Botox temporarily paralyzes hyperactive upper lip muscles responsible for excessive lip elevation during smiling.
-
Balanced Smile: By reducing muscle activity, Botox creates a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile, minimizing gingival exposure.
-
Temporary Results: Botox effects last 4 to 6 months, requiring maintenance injections for sustained results
