Cosmetic Dentistry in Tarzana, CA
Cosmetic dentistry at All Smiles is about small, natural-looking corrections — not a completely different smile. We match veneers, bonding, and whitening to your own teeth so results look like you, just cleaned up. Every cosmetic case starts with a conversation about what's actually bothering you before we talk treatment.
What's Included
- Porcelain veneers
- Composite bonding for chips and gaps
- Full smile makeovers (multi-treatment plans)
- Complimentary cosmetic consults
Signs Cosmetic Dentistry Could Help
- A chipped, gapped, or uneven front tooth you find yourself hiding when you smile
- Discoloration that whitening alone hasn't fixed
- Small, healthy teeth from wear or genetics that you'd like to look fuller
- Old bonding or fillings that have yellowed or don't match anymore
Veneers vs. Bonding — What's the Difference?
Composite bonding is a same-visit fix for a single chip, gap, or discolored spot — we shape tooth-colored resin directly onto the tooth. It's the faster, less expensive option, but it doesn't last quite as long as porcelain. Porcelain veneers are thin custom shells bonded over the front of the tooth; they take two visits, cost more, but resist staining and hold up longer, which makes them the better choice for a full smile makeover.
How We Approach It
We match shade and shape to your real teeth — not a one-size shade guide — so the result blends in rather than standing out. Most veneer and bonding cases are completed in two visits or fewer, and we'll walk you through cost and timeline at your consult before anything is scheduled. Dr. Robert Khanian leads cosmetic treatment planning; read more about his background on our Meet the Doctors page.
Caring for Veneers & Bonding
Both hold up well to normal eating and brushing, but avoid using your front teeth to open packaging or bite fingernails, since that's the most common way either one chips. Regular checkups and cleanings also let us catch any wear early, before it becomes visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will veneers or bonding look fake?
Not when they're shade-matched properly. We use your existing teeth as the reference point, not a generic "white" shade.
How long does bonding last?
Composite bonding typically lasts 5–10 years with normal care; porcelain veneers can last 10–20 years.
Is a cosmetic consult free?
Yes — we offer complimentary cosmetic consults so you can see your options before committing to anything.
Can cosmetic work fix crooked teeth?
Minor spacing or overlap can sometimes be improved with veneers or bonding, but more significant crowding is better handled with Invisalign first.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Purely cosmetic treatment is usually not covered by dental insurance, though some cases overlap with restorative work that may be. We'll clarify what applies during your consult.
