What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Damaged Teeth: Repair chipped, strained, and broken teeth with prosthetics!
Missing Teeth: Fill in holes in your mouth that can be prone to infection.
Misaligned Teeth: Fix any crooked teeth with our ClearCorrect dental aligners.

Feel free to give us a list if you have any other concerns you’d like us to take a look at! We would be happy to address any concerns you may have regarding your oral health.

Why You Need Cosmetic Dentistry

Our cosmetic services sell well—and for good reason. Our cosmetic dentistry catalog helps our Fresno patients through:

Enhanced Aesthetics

Increased Confidence

Ace the interview, rock the first date, and boost your self-esteem with cosmetic dentistry. Free your smile from crowded gums!

Improved Oral Health

Bacteria can grow in places that have excess pockets of tissue. Thinning gums and other cosmetic concerns can greatly improve your health!

We Go Beyond Shaping Your Look

Here’s how Molina Dentistry pursues our patients’ wellness with a smile.

Feel Right At Home

Molina Dentistry firmly believes that dental care should be a relief, not a burden. Our family-owned dental practice can put you at ease through dental sedatives and specialized equipment.

Molina Dentistry is proud to also offer services for patients of all ages! As a family of four boys and a shaggy dog, Drs. Eduardo and Patty Molina understand the appeal of centralized family care. We’re one big happy family here at Molina Dentistry, and we’d love for you to get in the action!

Improve Bad Breath

Patients sometimes come through our clinic hoping for a way out of bad breath. Though these symptoms may feel minimal, a fresh smile can make a difference during any first impression.

If typical solutions such as chewing gum or focusing on brushing don’t help, the source may be coming from your gums. A common side effect of infected gums is bad breath. Our laser-assisted care and fluoride treatment can give you a smile that will make you proud!

Provide a Functional Smile

Dr. Eddie Molina had a cavity as a young kid that made it hard for him to fully operate his smile. His lack of financial support made it difficult for him to get the care that he needed.

As an adult, Dr. Molina used this uncomfortable experience to fuel his drive to treat the Fresno community. Dental cracks or missing teeth can make it hard to digest food and speak properly.

Cosmetic treatment can help address these issues by replacing these cracks and areas of discomfort. Even if the dental flaw isn’t causing you pain, it may be affecting your overall oral health.

Seal Your Smile Against Infection

Unaddressed dental damage often tends to get worse as time moves forward. A missing tooth, for example, can cause infection in your gums or cause crooked teeth.

Our porcelain-based prosthetics address this by providing a shell-like protective barrier around a damaged tooth. Although the prosthetic is often built for cosmetics, the dental tool is a great way to reduce infection or cavities.

Molina Dentistry’s Cosmetic Catalog

Our family-based clinic restores smiles daily with precision and personalized care in Fresno, CA. We’ve listed below some of our popular treatment options to help you get started!

Porcelain Prosthetics

Porcelain is renowned as one of the strongest dental materials on the market. Molina Dentistry is happy to offer three different porcelain products to improve your smile.

Here’s a brief overview of these products:

Porcelain Caps (Crowns): Porcelain caps replace single, severely damaged teeth.
Porcelain Fixed Bridges: Fixed Bridges repair small sets of missing or damaged teeth.
Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers help address wider sets of damaged teeth.

Teeth Whitening

Over time, your incredible smile can be left with hard-to-remove stains or a yellowish look. Our office provides professional teeth whitening services to fight against this damage.

We will first take an impression of your teeth to create custom whitening trays that precisely fit the structure of your teeth. Drs. Eduardo and Patty Molina will outline an individual treatment plan to help secure your smile for as long as possible!

ClearCorrect Aligners

We are happy to offer ClearCorrect aligners to straighten your smile. ClearCorrect aligners are built to help patients:

Feel Comfortable: These aligners are transparent and hard to notice.
Make Cleaning Easy: Easily remove the aligners whenever you need to eat or drink!
Save Time: ClearCorrect aligners are built to be as efficient as possible.

Your teeth can be good to go within 12–18 months! This span will depend on the amount of teeth that need to be treated and proper dental care.

Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are tooth-colored fillings that we use to fill in parts of teeth that are damaged or decayed. Dr. Molina does this to salvage as much of your natural teeth as possible while addressing potential areas of concern.

Placing composite fillings is as simple as thoroughly cleaning the damaged area, applying medication for comfort, and filling in the treated area.

You might experience slight discomfort and sensitivity as the fillings adjust to your mouth. That is to be expected. You should be able to recover fully in around a day or so!

Tooth Bonding

Tooth bonding involves spreading tooth-colored composite resin to fix and refine the outer shell of your teeth. Tooth bonding covers a wide range of concerns such as:

Tooth Cracking: Chipped your tooth from eating hard foods? Bonding can help!
Root Protection: This procedure can shield any unprotected tooth roots.
Gap Removal: Tooth bonding is a notable alternative for minor orthodontic work.

During the procedure, Dr. Molina will prepare the tooth by placing a composite on the areas you’d like refined. After that is set in place, Dr. Molina will place the resin to seal it together!

Tooth bonding lasts many years with regular dental check-ups and personal care.

Cosmetic Dentistry Prerequisites

Dr. Molina may recommend getting additional dental work done before getting started on cosmetic dentistry for longevity and greater patient well-being. We are happy to offer these services in-house to get your smile started on the right foot.

Why Would I Need Additional Dental Work?

Improved Smile Aesthetics: Your gum line will be more consistent and proportionate, matching your desired results.
Greater Restorative Benefits: Crown lengthening is often needed to prepare your teeth for restorative treatments.
More Secure Gum Health: The procedure will lower the risk of inflammation and infection by removing excess tissue.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a procedure needed to strengthen your jawbones to better sustain prosthetics or everyday demands. Bone grafting can come from these three sources, depending on financial and physical capabilities.

Autogenous Bone Graft: This method harvests a part of your body (such as the chin or the lower jaw). This method produces natural results and is preferred by patients.
Xenograft Bone Graft: The xenograft bone graft takes it from outside sources, such as a cow bone. This method is minimally invasive and cost-effective.
Allograft Bone Graft: An allograft bone graft using more synthetic and man-made tools, such as synthetic bones, to help strengthen your jawline.

Gum Lifts and Contouring

A gum lift, also known as gum contouring, is an ideal cosmetic treatment for those who feel their gums cover too much of their teeth. A gum lift removes excess gum tissue or reshapes existing tissue to reveal more of your tooth’s surface.

Crown Lengthening: Elevate Your Teeth to New Heights

This cosmetic treatment reshapes the gum line to show more of the tooth’s surface. It is similar to a gum lift/contouring but is utilized to prepare a tooth for a crown or bridge.

For instance, if your gums cover too much of your tooth’s surface, the dentist may not have sufficient access to place a crown or bridge. Crown lengthening is achieved by removing and restructuring portions of the patient’s bone, gum tissue, or both.

Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

Our main goal is to help you and your family remain at ease during your appointment. Molina Dentistry can succinctly answer any questions you may have to make your stay a great one.

Call our office if anything is holding you back from the care you need. We come from years of personalized dental experience and can adapt to any personal circumstance.

Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

Generally, cosmetic dentistry is minimally painful. More invasive procedures, such as placing veneers, can come with a bit of a recovery time.

Molina Dentistry offers many options for dental sedation to feel next-to-no pain during the procedure. The help of painkillers, professional care, and sedation provides patients with easygoing dental treatments.

Is cosmetic dentistry noticeable?

Using our premium dental technology, Dr. Molina will take a scan and impressions of your teeth to get a precise idea about how they function. Instead of looking like a bad spray tan, our technology will match your general look for an improved look that feels natural.

The more you invest in specialized cosmetic care, the better the outcomes will be. Trust a California clinic with a high standard of excellence and outside education!

How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?

Cosmetic dentistry’s final price tag will depend on a variety of factors.

Extent of Service: Broader services will require a heftier price tag.
Required Number of Visits: Certain treatments will need follow-up visits to evaluate their progress.
Prerequisite Work: We may need to do work to prepare your teeth for treatment.

Drs. Eduardo and Patty Molina will outline the cost of the procedure to you during your initial appointment. We use CareCredit and accept the Citi Health Card.

Can I treat my teeth with gum disease?

More often than not we can’t perform cosmetic treatments till gum disease is properly handled. Addressing your gum disease first will ensure there are no complications during the procedure and that you will receive the results you desire.

Molina Dentistry is happy to offer thorough laser-based gum disease cleanings and scaling and root planing to address more significant dental issues.

We are happy to work with your schedule to address these concerns effectively. Molina Dentistry’s cosmetic program helps our patients look and feel great!
