A rapidly emerging field of dentistry is referred to as cosmetic dentistry. In cosmetic dentistry, the emphasis is on improving the patient’s smile through changing the appearance of the teeth and mouth. Many people view cosmetic dental practices as being elective treatments – as opposed to necessary dental treatments – but having a beautiful, engaging smile and feeling secure in one’s appearance can make people feel better about themselves and lead to a fuller, happier life. For an experienced San Diego cosmetic dentist, turn to the dental services of Dr. Haldy.

Missing teeth can have a negative impact on your appearance, your oral health, and your quality of life.

Dental implants can restore missing teeth to give you a functional, secure, and natural-looking smile.

If you suffer from dental issues like stained enamel or chipped teeth, you might lack the self-confidence to share your smile.

Clairemont Family Dental of San Diego, CA, is proud to offer its patients high-tech porcelain veneers–a simple cosmetic dentistry solution.

Have you always wanted a smile you could be happy to share, but the thought of metal braces stopped you?

Invisalign® offer a comfortable and attractive alternative to braces that works for teens and adults alike.

A crown (cap) is a restoration that is placed on teeth that have lost a lot of their structure. There are various types of crowns, ranging from full porcelain to full metal crowns. Dr. Haldy will explain the advantages and disadvantages of each kind for you.

If you are missing teeth due to trauma, gum disease, or untreated cavities, you may struggle to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

A dental bridge is a completely customized set of prosthetic teeth that fills the gap in your smile and provides lasting comfort.

Because children are still growing and have not mastered a dental routine yet, they are especially vulnerable to cavities.

Made of a thin plastic coating, dental sealants act as literal shields against decay-causing bacteria so that your child’s smile stays healthy.

Missing teeth can take a serious toll on your quality of life by compromising your appearance and making eating and speaking a challenge.

Dentures can replace several missing teeth or an entire dental arch, restoring the function and appearance of your smile.

Children and some adults are particularly susceptible to tooth decay, which can compromise teeth and be a hassle to address.

Fluoride protects teeth from erosion and, in turn, reduces the risk of cavities.

When decay affects the chewing surface of a molar, a filling may be insufficient to restore the tooth.

If the damage is not extensive enough to warrant a crown, an inlay or onlay may be the best solution.

When decay reaches the pulp (inner tissue) of a tooth, infection and a host of painful symptoms can result, eventually causing tooth loss.

A root canal is the complete removal of the pulp. This relieves pain, eliminates infection, and preserves the exterior tooth structure.

Teeth staining and discoloration can be embarrassing, causing many of us to avoid smiling altogether.

Professional whitening treatment can address almost all types of staining much more effectively than over-the-counter products.

An imbalanced bite can trigger a range of problems as the jaw joints overcompensate in order to achieve a balanced resting position.

TMJ disorder treatment by a dentist can achieve the balance needed to stop inflammation, facial pain, headaches, and other symptoms.

Preservation of your teeth is always the priority in dentistry, but in some cases, extraction is the best solution.

Impaction, crowding, extensive decay, or trauma may make it necessary to extract a tooth in order to restore your smile.
