Veneers
Veneers are thin coverings for your teeth that are form-fitted and can be crafted based on your preferred size, color, and shape. These custom restorations make your teeth appear flawless with minimal effort. At Magic Touch Dental of Pasadena, we understand the delicate line between fake and natural. That’s why our veneer procedure is thorough, covering everything from color to post-care.
Metal-Free Restorations
Whether you’re looking to repair a damaged or decayed tooth or simply hide one that is covered in cosmetic imperfections, we can provide a metal-free restoration. Crafted to mimic the natural look of your enamel, these unique designs are durable and long-lasting so you’ll be able to enjoy your enhanced smile for 15 years or more. Our team will determine how many restorations are required during your consultation so that we can align treatment with your budget.
Dental Bonding
As one of the more affordable and conservative forms of cosmetic dental treatment we provide, dental bonding can change the way you see yourself in just one appointment. Using composite resin (the same that is applied for tooth-colored fillings), we can match it to your existing enamel and immediately cover any minor crack, chip, or stain. In less time, you will see a fully restored, flawless smile.

Teeth Whitening
Capable of taking your teeth from dull to fabulous, Dr. Verjee can lighten your smile up to 10 shades in a single visit or provide custom whitening kits so that you can brighten it at home within two weeks. For that reason, teeth whitening in Pasadena is considered the go-to cosmetic dental treatment if you want to freshen your look without undergoing an invasive procedure.
Smile Makeovers
Having multiple cosmetic flaws doesn’t mean that treatment is out of the question. However, it can require more than one type of procedure to achieve your desired results. With a smile makeover, our team can transform your appearance with the help of two or more cosmetic and restorative services. Using a magical touch and a well-prepared treatment plan, our team can deliver a dazzling result that fits within your timeline and budget.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
There is no need to worry about your cosmetic dentistry treatment causing any pain. While teeth whitening and dental bonding do not require local anesthesia, veneers, metal-free restorations, smile makeovers, and other similar solutions involve a more invasive process. This means that your dentist will numb your mouth beforehand so that you do not feel any discomfort throughout treatment.
Once the anesthesia wears off, though, you will need to have an over-the-counter pain reliever ready to go, as some minor discomfort is likely but only temporary.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
When reviewing the details of each cosmetic dental treatment, you’ll find that none of them are permanent. Teeth whitening, veneers, metal-free restorations, dental bonding, etc., all require touch-ups or replacements over time.
A brief breakdown of the average timeframe for results follows:
- Veneers: 15-20 years
- Metal-Free Restorations: 15+ years
- Teeth Whitening: A few months to a few years
- Dental Bonding: 5-7 years
These are just averages, but they can give you a good idea of how long you can expect your results to last so that you can better plan and prepare for the type of cosmetic treatment you want to pursue. This is a discussion you can expect to have with your dentist when you arrive for your consultation.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
Most patients who are interested in cosmetic dentistry can expect their experience to be completely safe. As long as the services provided are administered by a licensed and qualified professional, there should be nothing to worry about.
This is why a scheduled consultation is essential before moving forward. A cosmetic dentist in Pasadena can tell you if you are a good candidate for a certain type of treatment (i.e., veneers, teeth whitening, metal-free restorations, etc.). Also, because many dental professionals use only the best brands and products, your teeth, gums, and oral health will remain safe and in the best possible shape before, during, and after treatment.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Years ago, cosmetic dentistry was viewed as an extremely expensive form of dental care – one that only Hollywood’s elite and the rich and famous would pursue. However, times have changed, and these services are now more affordable and financially within reach for many patients. With the development of flexible financing and in-house membership programs, countless dentists offer alternative payment options for patients can choose from, making it easier to afford to transform their smile.
While it’s true these services are costlier than preventive or (many) restorative treatments, they are not out of reach for average patients.
