Rejuvenate your smile with aesthetic dentistry procedures.
Aesthetic dentistry is a perfect solution to refresh your aging, damaged, or dull smile. We have seen patients enter our dental practice with an ordinary smile only to leave with a grin akin to what you see in beauty magazines and red carpets. The best part? We don’t give you a generic smile — we consider your facial features and aesthetic preferences to make a smile suited only for you; most importantly a smile that is functional.
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t a single treatment — it uses several procedures to suit the needs of various patients. Here are cosmetic dental care procedures Dr. Anu Mohan and the team use to create magic inside your mouth:
- Teeth whitening: Teeth bleaching is the quickest way to add “wow” to your smile. If you choose in-office teeth whitening, we can brighten your smile in just an hour! The dentist does the procedure while you sit comfortably in the dental chair, listening to your favorite music.
- Dental veneers: We install thin porcelain coverings on your front teeth to improve your smile’s color, size, and shape. Dental veneers correct numerous cosmetic flaws, including stained, chipped, gapped, and slightly crooked teeth.
- Dental crowns: Dental caps have long been used in dentistry to restore teeth, but Dr. Mohan can cosmetically improve your teeth using dental crowns. We can cover up your stained, rotated, or misshapen tooth to change its appearance for a more beautiful smile.
- Clear aligner orthodontics: Want a straighter smile without the hassle of metal braces? We offer a clear teeth alignment system, which uses minimally invisible, removable braces to correct your bite, crowded, and gapped teeth. Don’t be fooled by these clear aligners; they also serve to correct the bite and help improve clenching & grinding: thence stops teeth from wearing down further.
Before any smile-enhancement procedure, Dr. Mohan must address any condition threatening the integrity of your oral health. This step ensures your cosmetic restorations are built on a healthy foundation to last many years.
Stop neglecting your teeth; give them the loving care & attention that they need. You have only one set of 32 from the age of 12. So look after them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Are you looking to elevate your smile’s appearance? Do you want to boost your self-confidence and self-esteem by addressing imperfections of the teeth and gums? If this sounds like your ultimate goal, you may want to talk to the team at I-Rise Dental Boutique in the Del Mar, California community. Dr. Anu Mohan and her dedicated team work alongside patients to ensure they have access to affordable and attainable cosmetic dentistry treatments for their smiles. Let’s take a look at some commonly asked questions about cosmetic dentistry:
What is a good gateway treatment for those new to cosmetic dentistry?
Teeth whitening is an excellent gateway treatment for those new to cosmetic dentistry. It’s non-invasive, relatively affordable, and delivers noticeable results quickly. Whitening can brighten your smile by several shades, boosting confidence and offering a preview of the potential benefits of cosmetic dentistry. This treatment is ideal for those looking to enhance their smile without committing to more extensive procedures like veneers or crowns. Plus, it can be easily customized to meet your specific needs and can be a stepping stone to more advanced cosmetic options.
Is cosmetic dentistry invasive in nature?
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t inherently invasive, though the level of invasiveness depends on the procedure. Treatments like teeth whitening and dental bonding are minimally invasive, requiring little to no alteration of your natural teeth. However, more complex procedures like veneers or dental implants may involve reshaping tooth structure or surgery. Dr. Mohan will discuss all options and help you choose the least invasive treatment that achieves your desired results. Many cosmetic treatments offer significant enhancements with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
Do cosmetic dental treatments hurt?
Most cosmetic dental treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible. Non-invasive procedures like teeth whitening and bonding typically cause minimal discomfort. Even for more complex treatments like veneers or implants, dentists use local anesthesia to ensure the process is pain-free. After the procedure, any discomfort is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Dr. Mohan will also provide aftercare instructions to minimize discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery. Overall, advancements in dental technology have made cosmetic procedures more comfortable than ever.
Will my dental insurance cover cosmetic dental treatments?
Dental insurance coverage for cosmetic treatments varies by plan but is generally limited. Most insurance plans focus on necessary procedures for health and function rather than elective cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening or veneers. However, some plans may offer partial coverage if the treatment provides functional benefits, such as crowns that improve appearance and tooth strength. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand what is covered. Our staff here in our office can also help clarify costs and payment options.
Can I get my teeth whitened if I have veneers?
Teeth whitening treatments are ineffective on veneers, crowns, or other dental restorations. Whitening agents only work on natural tooth enamel, so if you have veneers, they will not change color during the whitening process. If you’re concerned about color matching between your natural teeth and veneers, it’s best to consult with our team. They can recommend alternatives, such as polishing the veneers or considering replacement options if they have become discolored over time. Our team can help you achieve a uniform, bright smile.
Who is a good candidate for cosmetic dental treatments?
A good candidate for cosmetic dental treatments is someone in overall good oral health who wishes to improve the appearance of their smile. This includes individuals with stained, chipped, misaligned, or unevenly spaced teeth. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be committed to maintaining good oral hygiene. It’s important to address dental issues, like cavities or gum disease, before undergoing cosmetic procedures. A consultation with Dr. Mohan will help determine the most suitable treatments based on your specific needs and goals, ensuring safe and effective results.
How often can I complete a cosmetic dental treatment?
The frequency of cosmetic dental treatments depends on the specific procedure and your oral health. Treatments like teeth whitening can typically be done every six months to a year, depending on Dr. Mohan’s recommendations and your desired brightness level. More permanent procedures, such as veneers or bonding, generally last several years before requiring touch-ups or replacement. Routine dental check-ups are essential to monitor cosmetic work conditions and maintain oral health. Our team will provide personalized advice on how often you can safely undergo cosmetic treatments.
