Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

Question: Can Dr. Khalepari really brighten smiles in just one visit?

Answer: Yes, with Zoom! LED. After applying a bleaching solution to your teeth, an LED light is used to activate the ingredients. In less than a couple of hours, you can obtain a smile whitened by multiple shades.

Question: Does my cosmetic dentist in Calabasas offer at-home teeth whitening?

Answer: Yes, in fact, Dr. Khalepari offers two systems. The first uses custom-made trays and a bleaching gel to gradually brighten smiles in about a week. The other is Liquid Smiles. After brushing and flossing your teeth at night, you apply a layer of whitening gel with the Liquid Smiles brush. Over night, the whitening agent reduces the appearance of discoloration.

Question: Can porcelain veneers address multiple smile issues?

Answer: Yes. First, your Calabasas dentist will place a thin shell of dental porcelain on the front of your teeth. Veneers are custom-made, blending seamlessly with your smile. Dental veneers mask permanent teeth stains and even correct the appearance of misalignment. Dr. Khalepari may recommend veneers for repairing cracked or chipped teeth and closing unsightly gaps in your smile.

Question: Will dental bonding repair damaged teeth?

Answer: Yes. A composite bonding material will be applied in multiple layers. The composite resin can be shaded to match surrounding teeth. As the material cures, Dr. Khalepari can mold the tooth, returning your smile to full function and appearance. Dental bonding address fractures, breaks, pits, and covers permanent dental discoloration.
