Cosmetic dentistry gives you an opportunity to<br />
not only correct health issues but enhance the<br />
aesthetics <strong>of</strong> your teeth, gums, and bite, resulting<br />
in a renewed sense <strong>of</strong> confidence and self<br />
esteem. Dr. Cho has cultivated a passion for<br />
cosmetic dentistry because she has witnessed<br />

years <strong>of</strong> dissatisfaction.<br />

PORCELAIN VENEERS<br />
With Porcelain Veneers or Crowns Dr. Cho can create a brand<br />
new smile you’ve only dreamt <strong>of</strong> or restore your smile to the<br />
beauty you once knew.<br />
Porcelain veneers are thin shells <strong>of</strong> porcelain that are custom<br />
designed and fitted to match both your existing teeth and<br />
desired smile. Porcelain veneers hide teeth that have large<br />
decay, fillings, and fractures. <strong>The</strong> porcelain is stain resistant<br />
from c<strong>of</strong>fee, tea, wine, and tobacco to insure a long lasting<br />
smile. <strong>The</strong> best feature about this cosmetic procedure is the<br />
natural appearance.<br />

PORCELAIN CROWNS<br />
A porcelain crown is permanently bonded to the tooth<br />
and gives it an entire new surface and shape. This type<br />
<strong>of</strong> crown is a healthier solution than large metal fillings<br />
that may decay and threaten to fracture the tooth. Older<br />
metal filings can be removed and a porcelain crown placed<br />
over the tooth to strengthen and preserve it.<br />
Porcelain Veneers and Crowns are also biologically<br />
compatible with your body and don’t cause the problems<br />
that the metal restorations <strong>of</strong> the past inevitably came with.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y look better, they fit better, and they require a less<br />
invasive procedure, allowing us to save as much <strong>of</strong> your own<br />
healthy tooth structure as possible.<br />
Unlike crowns <strong>of</strong> the past that have a “chiclet” appearance<br />
with gray lines at the gum line, porcelain veneers and crowns<br />
are translucent and blend seamlessly with your natural<br />
healthy smile.<br />
