Cosmetic Dentistry
in Huntington Beach

A smile makeover is a personalized combination of cosmetic treatments designed to enhance your overall appearance. Depending on your needs, it can include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, gum contouring, bonding, Invisalign, or crowns. At Oceanic Dental in Huntington Beach, we use digital smile design to plan your treatment and preview your new smile before we begin.

Veneers are considered long-term but not technically permanent. They last 10–15 years or more with proper care and require removing a small layer of enamel, which means you’ll always need some type of covering. Porcelain veneers are extremely durable, stain-resistant, and can transform the shape, color, and alignment of your teeth in just two visits.

Bonding is a quicker, more affordable option using tooth-colored resin to correct small chips, gaps, or discoloration. Veneers are thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of teeth to deliver a more durable and dramatic transformation. Bonding may last 3–7 years, while veneers typically last over a decade.

Most cosmetic procedures are non-invasive or minimally invasive. Treatments like whitening and bonding involve little to no discomfort, while veneers may require mild enamel removal. We offer numbing and sedation options if needed, and most patients report little to no pain during or after cosmetic treatment.

In-office whitening can produce results that last from 1 to 3 years. This depends on your diet, oral hygiene, and habits like coffee or wine consumption. We also offer take-home whitening trays to help you maintain your brightness long after your visit.

Yes—cosmetic dentistry can correct mild to moderate misalignment. Veneers or bonding can visually straighten teeth for a faster result. For more complex cases, we may recommend Invisalign to gently shift your teeth into alignment before completing cosmetic enhancements.

Most cosmetic procedures—like whitening, veneers, and bonding—are not covered by dental insurance because they’re considered elective. However, some treatments like crowns may be partially covered if there’s a functional need. Our team helps you review your benefits and offers flexible financing options.

Smile makeover pricing depends on how many teeth are being treated and which procedures are used. Costs can range from $3,000 to $25,000+. We’ll create a detailed, personalized estimate at your consultation, with transparent fees and no surprises.

Some treatments like in-office whitening are completed in one visit. Veneers typically take two appointments over two weeks. Full smile makeovers involving Invisalign or implants may take several months. We’ll outline a clear timeline and help you plan every step of your transformation.
