Many of our Orange County cosmetic dentistry patients are searching for ways to make them look younger. At Caldwell Dental Care, we offer minimally invasive treatments that can take years off of your appearance. Dental treatments such as porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, bridges, and implants can treat aging, yellowing, and missing teeth. Facial rejuvenation procedures such as BOTOX® injections effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Find out how these anti-aging treatments can enhance your smile and smooth your skin.

Porcelain Veneers

Dentists and patients favor porcelain veneers because they can treat a wide variety of dental imperfections in just one week's time. If the appearance of your teeth has worsened over the years, porcelain veneers can be placed over the teeth to mask these flaws. Some common problems older dental patients experience include:

  • Discolored teeth:This includes yellowing or browning of the teeth, especially the areas between teeth; some patients may develop white spots due to decalcification.
  • Cracked and chipped teeth:Cracks and chips can result from injury or daily wear and tear.   
  • Worn and misshaped teeth:As the teeth withstand the constant pressure and stress of chewing, biting, and grinding, the teeth become increasingly worn. In severe cases, the teeth will gradually become misshaped.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is an excellent treatment option for patients whose teeth have yellowed, but have otherwise healthy and attractive teeth. At Caldwell Dental Care, we offer the ZOOM!® system to our Orange County teeth whitening patients. This technology involves the application of a concentrated peroxide solution that is stronger than over-the-counter and professional at-home kits. Next, a special light is directed at the teeth to activate the whitening gel. This treatment is capable of whitening the teeth by up to 10 shades in just one hour. Patients that have undergone the ZOOM!® teeth whitening procedure have been thrilled with their results.

Tooth Replacement

Patients that have lost one or more teeth experience cosmetic and functional problems. Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge or implant can prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place, maintain proper bite alignment, provide support to the lower face, and help patients chew their food. If you are missing teeth, we strongly urge you to look into available restoration options before the damage gets any worse. Tooth replacement not only offers a number of cosmetic benefits, it will improve your overall quality of life.

BOTOX® Injections

An increasing number of modern dental practices are offering BOTOX® injections to patients. This non-invasive treatment is used to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. Many of our patients choose to undergo cosmetic dentistry treatment to improve the appearance of the lower half of the face, and then undergo BOTOX® injections to rejuvenate the upper half of the face.
