Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are perfect for patients hoping to redesign and reshape their smile with a simple, non-invasive procedure. Those with misaligned, chipped or broken teeth are great candidates for this procedure. We will provide you with the opportunity to repair their smile with dental veneers. 

 

There are many types of veneers available. Dr. Wook Kim utilizes ceramic veneers. Ceramic veneers cover the existing tooth structure. The process by which veneers are installed takes two to three visits. In the first visit, Dr. Kim will consult with you to determine whether or not you are a candidate for veneers. Once approved, Dr. Kim will present a set of options such as what size, shape and color the veneers will be. The molding process will then begin. This process consists of removing half a millimeter of the enamel from the tooth surface so the veneers are flush with the gum line. A mold will then be taken of your teeth and we will have the veneers structured at an outside dental lab. Creation of the veneers takes approximately 10-14 days.

 

Once the veneers are ready, we will fit them in your mouth to see if the shade and size is correct. The veneers will then be trimmed to assure a permanent fit. We will then thoroughly clean the area and etch the teeth before applying the bonding agent. Once the bonding agent is applied, the veneer will be placed in your mouth and the bonding agent will be activated by a UV light source. The final step in the process involves an inspection by Dr. Kim. He will examine your bite, remove any excess cement and make any final adjustments. You may be asked to return for a follow-up visit to evaluate how the gums are responding to the new veneer.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening

Dr. Wook Kim provides many cosmetic dental procedures for our patients, including teeth whitening. This includes the tray whitening system and ZOOM! whitening, depending on the patient’s preferences. Some patients at Orland Dental Wellness Center love the ZOOM! whitening system because it is completed in just a single visit to our practice, while others love the customized tray whitening system.

Tray whitening is done in our office and at home. Custom trays are made to fit the patient’s teeth perfectly. They are filled with a whitening gel and placed on the patient’s teeth for a short period of time. After leaving our office, they will use the trays on their own for several days, during certain increments each day. Teeth are less sensitive after using the trays, and they work well due to being customized.

The other type of whitening offered in our office is ZOOM! teeth whitening, which uses a low intensity light and whitening gel, made from hydrogen peroxide. The lamp is placed over the teeth with the gel on, which activates the gel whitens the teeth by getting deep into the enamel. This is beneficial for patients wanting the whitening done in just an hour.
