Why Consider Teeth Bleaching?

If your teeth are stained or discolored, we recommend teeth bleaching as a way to improve your smile. If you drink coffee, tea or red wine on a regular basis, or if you smoke, your teeth may have discolored over the years without you ever noticing it. A dull smile can have serious effects on your social and business life and can affect your confidence in everyday encounters. Patients from Camarillo to Port Hueneme have come to Esthetic Smiles to have their teeth whitened with great results.

Oxnard Dentist Creates Confident Smiles

Dr. Abajian, our Oxnard dentist, has years of experience in cosmetic dentistry. He knows that having a whiter and brighter smile can change your life in a number of ways.

Here are 3 great reasons to bleach your teeth:

1. First Impression. If you are in a business where you are in contact with the public, your smile is the first thing most customers will notice. If your teeth are dingy and yellow, they almost always leave a poor impression. Having your teeth whitened can give your smile a brightness and brilliance that customers will respond to, giving you a boost over your business competition.

2. Overall Image. A white and brilliant smile is a definite plus for your overall image. If you want to look polished and put together, it's the small details that count. Healthy looking hair and great clothes are important, but your look won't be complete without a bright and genuine smile. Whitened teeth can put a polished finish on your overall look.

3. Boost Self Confidence. Stained and dull teeth can make you self-conscious, breaking down your confidence and lowering your self-esteem. When you fix the problem and have your teeth whitened you give yourself an ego boost, raising your confidence level. When you know you look good, you simply feel better about yourself, and this helps in every aspect of your everyday life.

Smile Big and Wide with an Instant Smile Makeover Using Porcelain Veneers

If a chipped tooth, dental discoloration, stains, or misshapen teeth make you keep your mouth shut when you smile, Esthetic Smiles can help you with the use of porcelain veneers. Unlike crowns that cover most of a tooth that has been damaged, veneers are instead thin outer coatings placed atop existing teeth that may be healthy yet esthetically displeasing. Your oral health does not suffer and, although installing the veneers typically takes at least two visits, your smile improves the instant they are installed. Also unlike crowns that may need to be replaced, veneers that are properly cared for can last for the lifetime of your smile.

Oxnard Dentist Has Extensive Experience in Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry

Serving the community for more than 15 years with a continued focus on restorative and cosmetic dentistry, our Oxnard dentist Dr. John Abajian has extensive experience with veneers. Each treatment begins with a consultation during which you explain the results you are seeking for your smile. Prior to installing the veneers, we must first make room for them by taking off a small area of enamel on the teeth being treated and then producing a mold of your mouth. You return for your second visit after the lab has completed a set of veneers that match your existing teeth for the most natural look, right down to the shape, size and color. Dr. Abajian then permanently installs the veneers over your teeth and you complete the process by producing a dazzling smile.

Veneers are not the only way we can help create a brilliant smile. Our thorough checkups can catch issues before they turn into problems, such as the early stages of gum disease or a cavity in the making. We continue to give the Oxnard, Camarillo and Port Hueneme communities plenty of reasons to smile, and we can do the same for you.

Oxnard Dentist Offers Invisalign

Well-aligned teeth create not only an enticing smile, but also promote better oral health. With correctly aligned teeth, your bite is also properly aligned, preventing wear on the enamel, chewing problems and jaw difficulties. Although traditional braces have been used for years to straighten teeth, Invisalign now offers many additional advantages over braces.

The Advantages of Invisalign

From a purely esthetic standpoint, Invisalign offers the advantage of a virtually invisible method of straightening teeth. There are no visible wires; all you and others see are your teeth! Perfect for the self-conscious teen or busy professional, the clear teeth alignment trays do their job without drawing extra attention to your mouth.

Many patients report how comfortable the straightening appliances are. The smooth plastic does not irritate the inside of your mouth like metal braces, and the gentle forces used in this straightening system typically do not cause as much pain as associated with the adjustments to traditional braces. When you visit our Oxnard dentist, you will be fitted with progressively changing appliances that gently guide the straightening of your teeth.

Additional Reasons to Pick Invisalign

Your oral health is important and this removable appliance allows you to maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine to prevent tooth decay and plaque buildup. Traditional braces with their wires and brackets can interfere with your oral care routine, but not these easily removable appliances. Thoroughly brushing and flossing helps prevent the early stages of gum disease, keeping your smile both beautiful and healthy. Recent studies show a strong connection between oral health and overall health, so practicing effective oral hygiene is now more important than ever. Since they are removable, this straightening system allows you to eat all the foods you enjoy without worry.

Do you have an Invisalign experience you would like to share with our readers?

When you consider finding a trusted Oxnard dentist who cares about your quality of life, Esthetic Smiles is the perfect choice. Dr. John Abajian has created fabulous winning smiles for his Oxnard, Camarillo and Ventura patients for over 15 years.

Our full service clinic offers patients much more than cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. We take a "whole person" wellness and oral hygiene approach. For example, we treat all stages of periodontal disease. Understanding the critical mouth-body connection, we focus on prevention, patient education, and cosmetics (whitening, implants, restorations, and veneers) to help our patients enjoy a superior quality of life.

We also target the relationship between periodontal health and pregnancy, heart disease, osteoporosis, and stroke. Our mission — to keep your teeth and mouth healthy — often translates to good health in other areas. While most people understand that a classic, albeit painful, toothache might involve a potentially dangerous abscess, others are unaware that tooth or gum problems can indicate or lead to even wider ranging health issues.

Preventative and Cosmetic Dentistry in a Caring Environment

Another clinic feature our patients love is our dedication to caring, compassionate and comfortable treatment. Sure, you want a highly trained, experienced dentist to treat gum disease, teeth bleaching, root canals, and fillings. But, most people want this skill matched with comfort.

We understand and commit to achieving that goal. For example, we understand that our patients have busy, active and challenging lives. Therefore, we offer Nitrous Oxide as an awake, alert and conscious sedation method option, which reduces anxiety, anesthetizes effectively, and returns patients to alert, energetic readiness immediately after we stop the flow. This translates to wonderful patient comfort and allows patients to painlessly drive, return to work or rejoin their family right after treatment.

Using experienced cosmetic dentistry to create world class smiles and oral health has been our mission for almost two decades. Offering our patients full service oral care is a mission our staff embraces.
