Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Age 0-2: This is the “pre-cooperative” stage and children are expected to cry during dental exams. They are too young to understand what is happening, so crying is natural at this stage.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Dental Veneers: Custom-made thin shells are made to cover the front of the teeth. This can give the teeth a whiter appearance, cover up gaps between teeth and make other cosmetic improvements.
• Crowns
  Crown Lengthening: Some patients have thick gums which results in a “gummy smile.” They might be showing more gums than teeth when they smile. Crown lengthening is a process of surgically removing gum tissue to expose more of the teeth surfaces.
• Dental Bonding

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Implants & Crowns: If a permanent tooth is lost for any reason, an implant can be surgically placed in the patient’s jaw bone. Once the implant fuses to the bone, a “crown” or artificial tooth can be attached to it.

Orthodontics

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Cosmetic Orthodontic Treatments: This can include treatments like braces or Invisalign. These treatments are used to straighten teeth, fill gaps between teeth, realign crooked teeth, and repair underbites and overbites.
• Braces
  Did you know that traditional braces and clear braces fall under the general umbrella of cosmetic dentistry? If you have misaligned teeth, crooked teeth, or an overbite or underbite, cosmetic dentistry through braces can correct these issues so that the underlying healthy structure of the teeth and jaw can be restored. This is one big reason why cosmetic dentistry in Victorville is definitely worth considering.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Teeth Whitening: Bleaching the teeth to whiten them and remove stains is one of the most popular and affordable forms of cosmetic dentistry.
• Cosmetic Dentistry

As a result, some cosmetic procedures may not be covered by insurance. However, the result of cosmetic dentistry treatments with Dr. Paul Bell are always the same: The patient will have a brighter, whiter smile that they can display with confidence.
