At our San Jose practice, we offer a comprehensive range of cosmetic dentistry services to address all your smile concerns: 

Porcelain Veneers: Thin, custom-crafted shells of porcelain that bond to the front of your teeth, correcting chips, stains, gaps, and minor misalignments. They can also be used to lengthen worn-down teeth, or provide “instant orthodontics” for minor crowding. Veneers provide a dramatic smile transformation with minimal tooth alteration. 

Teeth Whitening: Professional-grade teeth whitening treatments utilizing the in-office ZOOM! Light that can brighten your smile by several shades in just one office visit. We also offer take-home whitening kits for convenient touch-ups.

Dental Bonding: A quick and affordable solution for minor chips, cracks, and discoloration. Dr. Kumar skillfully applies tooth-colored composite resin to restore and enhance your teeth's appearance. 

Tooth-Colored Fillings: Replace old metal (mercury-filled amalgam) fillings or treat new cavities with natural-looking composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your teeth. This includes a variety of procedures using composite tooth bonding to lengthen, widen, or reshape your teeth. 

Gum Contouring: Reshape your gum line to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile, addressing issues like a "gummy" smile or uneven gum tissue. 

Porcelain Crowns: Restore damaged or severely discolored teeth with custom-made porcelain crowns that look and function like natural teeth. 

Dental Implants: With dental implants, you can restore your smile and chewing function with the most comfortable and most natural option. If you are missing one or even many teeth, be sure to ask us about dental implants. 

Dentures: Yes, even full dentures can be considered part of cosmetic dentistry services. Having a smile that matches your skin tone, and enhances your smile can help bring you confidence and function.
