Cosmetic Dentistry in San Bernardino

Cosmetic dentistry has become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more people seek to improve the appearance of their teeth and achieve a beautiful, confident smile. In San Bernardino, Brenda Evans Louka DDS offers a range of cosmetic dentistry services to help patients achieve their desired results. From teeth whitening to veneers, dental bonding to crowns, braces to Invisalign, and even gum reshaping, Dr. Louka provides comprehensive and personalized care to each and every patient.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a simple and effective way to brighten a dull or discolored smile. Dr. Louka offers both in-office and at-home teeth whitening options, depending on the patient's preferences and needs. In-office whitening typically involves the use of a special light-activated gel that is applied to the teeth and activated with a blue light. This treatment can lighten teeth by several shades in just one appointment. At-home whitening involves using custom-made trays that are filled with a whitening gel and worn for a specified period each day. This method can also produce impressive results, but it may take longer to achieve the desired level of whitening.

Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic issues, including discoloration, chipping, gaps, and misalignment. Veneers are typically made of porcelain or composite resin and are designed to blend in seamlessly with natural teeth. Dr. Louka takes great care to ensure each veneer is crafted to meet the patient's needs and preferences.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a quick and affordable way to improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, or discolored. The process involves applying a tooth-colored resin to the affected tooth and then shaping and polishing it to match the surrounding teeth. Bonding can also be used to fill in gaps between teeth or to change the shape or size of a tooth. This treatment can typically be completed in just one appointment and can produce impressive results.

Crowns

Crowns are custom-made caps that are placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their strength and appearance. They can be used to treat various dental issues, including large cavities, cracks, and severe discoloration. Dr. Louka uses high-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure that each crown is durable, functional, and natural-looking.

Braces

Braces are a traditional orthodontic treatment that uses metal brackets and wires to gradually shift the teeth into their correct positions. While braces are most commonly associated with teenagers, they can be used to treat patients of all ages. Dr. Louka offers traditional metal braces and more discreet options, such as ceramic braces and lingual braces (attached to the back of the teeth). She works closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their needs and preferences.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten the teeth. Invisalign aligners are custom-made for each patient using advanced computer imaging technology and designed to be comfortable and discreet. They can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making them a convenient choice for busy patients. Dr. Louka is a certified Invisalign provider and has helped many patients achieve straighter, healthier smiles with this innovative treatment.

Gum Reshaping

Gum reshaping, also known as gum contouring, is a cosmetic procedure that can change the shape of your gumline to produce a more aesthetically pleasing smile. The gumline can make a dramatic difference in the overall look of your smile. ‘Gummy” smiles are easily remedied by reshaping the gums.
