Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving dental aesthetics in color, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile appearance. At Chan Dental in Torrance, CA, we offer a range of treatments, from teeth whitening to Invisalign, to make your smile radiant and confident.

Common Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

Teeth Whitening

Over time, teeth can get stained from foods, drinks, and smoking. Whitening can brighten your teeth by several shades for a refreshed and rejuvenated smile.

Dental Veneers

These thin porcelain or composite resin shells are custom-made to cover the fronts of your teeth. They deal with a variety of dental issues, such as discolored, broken, or misaligned teeth.

Dental Crowns

An aesthetic crown fits over a tooth like a cap. Commonly used to protect decayed or broken teeth, we also use them to conceal discolored or misshapen teeth for cosmetic purposes.

Dental Bonding

This procedure uses tooth-colored composite resin to discreetly repair chipped, broken, or gapped teeth.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign offers a discreet way to straighten teeth. Using clear, custom-made aligners, Invisalign gently corrects misaligned teeth and bite issues by gradually moving teeth into the desired positions.

Your Smile Transformation Awaits at Chan Dental

If you've been considering a smile makeover, our skilled cosmetic dentist can guide you through the best options tailored for you. Call Chan Dental in Torrance, CA, to schedule a consultation appointment.

What are my options for teeth whitening?

Are you looking for a quick fix or a long-lasting solution? Call us for a teeth whitening in Torrance! We have professional in-office and take-home whitening options.

Professional In-Office Whitening

If you’re after fast, dramatic results, in-office whitening is the way to go. This treatment, done by your dentist, uses high-concentration whitening gel and advanced light technology to lift deep stains in about an hour. It’s perfect for events or when you just want to refresh your smile ASAP.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

Would you rather whiten your teeth on your own time? Custom take-home whitening trays offer professional-grade results with the convenience of at-home use. Your Torrance dentist provides trays fitted to your teeth and a whitening gel to use over a couple of weeks. This option gives you control over your results while being gentler on your teeth.

Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Whitening

Over-the-counter options are fine for maintaining your smile but won’t deliver the same power as professional treatments like we have at Chan Dental. From strips to whitening toothpaste, store-bought options are easy to grab but often take longer to show noticeable results.

Are you unsure which option is best for you? Book a consultation, and let’s get your smile sparkling!

Can veneers fix chipped or stained teeth?

Veneers are one of the best solutions for transforming teeth that are chipped, stained, or uneven. These thin, custom-made shells are bonded to the front of your teeth. They can instantly create a flawless, natural-looking smile.

How Veneers Fix Chipped Teeth

If you have a small chip or crack, veneers can restore your tooth’s shape and strength. They act like a protective shield and cover imperfections while reinforcing the structure of your tooth. No one will ever know it was chipped in the first place!

How Veneers Fix Stained Teeth

Some stains—especially deep discoloration from medication or years of wear—don’t always respond to traditional whitening treatments. Veneers offer a permanent whitening solution, covering stains with a bright, even-toned surface. They’re also stain-resistant, so coffee and wine lovers can keep sipping without worry.

Are Veneers Right for You?

If you’re looking for a long-lasting and dramatic smile upgrade, veneers might be the perfect choice for you. They’re durable, natural-looking, and can completely transform your teeth in just a couple of visits. With veneers, you can finally achieve the symmetrical, white smile you've always wanted. In fact, many celebrities can attribute their picture-perfect smiles to veneers!
