There is no denying that a beautiful, healthy smile gives you a boost in confidence, creates more social opportunities, and improves overall quality of life.
Cosmetic dentistry has paved the way for long-term solutions to cosmetic oral problems for you to achieve long-lasting confidence. From brightening, reshaping, and resizing, to closing gaps between teeth, our cosmetic dentist in Napa will give you a reason to smile again.
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges are used to replace a missing tooth or teeth to prevent cosmetic and health issues associated with tooth loss. Our porcelain crowns are tough and made based on your teeth’s shape and color for a natural appearance.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are a great way to fix damaged teeth without extracting them. We offer veneer placement to not only improve the tooth’s appearance, but also to protect the surface from further damage.
Braces
Dental braces may easily rectify everything from misaligned to overcrowded teeth. With our orthodontic options, you now have the chance to enhance dental health, function, and appearance.
Teeth Whitening
Our teeth yellow or discolor over time due to a myriad of reasons, including diet, age, and lifestyle habits such as smoking. Our teeth whitening treatments give your teeth a bright, natural sparkle.

PORCELAIN CROWNS
Browse Before and After Photos
A dental crown is a thin, custom-made cover fitted over moderately to severely decayed teeth. Dental crowns completely encase the tooth up to the gumline to protect it from further damage and to maintain its natural shape, size, and function.
At Dennington Dental, we only make crowns from high-quality porcelain material to keep your smile looking bright. Our talented dentist, Dr. Dennington, is able to match the shade of porcelain exactly to your natural tooth color. We may suggest a dental crown in Napa, CA to:
- Prevent a weakened tooth from breaking
- Hold a broken tooth together
- Repair a significantly decayed tooth
- Anchor a porcelain fixed bridge
- Complete a dental implant
- Enhance the integrity and beauty of your smile
We utilize the latest dental technology in our dental office, including CEREC® same-day restoration technology. The CEREC allows us to make your custom dental restoration on the same day you receive treatment. Long gone are the days when molds had to be sent to a dental laboratory for a number of weeks. Dr. Dennington can produce and place your dental crown in just one visit to our office. For more information about how our porcelain dental crowns can improve your smile, please contact us today.
PORCELAIN FIXED BRIDGES
Porcelain fixed bridges are permanent dental appliances used to replace missing teeth. They are called dental bridges because they literally bridge the gap created by a missing tooth. A dental bridge is most useful in replacing one or more missing teeth all in a row. There are many types of dental bridges available, depending on which teeth you are missing.
A typical dental bridge utilizes a replacement tooth called a pontic that is anchored by two dental crowns.
We use CEREC® same-day restoration technology to produce your dental restoration in just one office visit. Our material of choice is porcelain due to its beauty and strength. To permanently attach your dental bridge, we will first prepare the teeth that will hold the crowns by gently reshaping the surface of the tooth to accommodate the size of the crown. The pontic is anchored in place by these dental crowns. Once Dr. Dennington has ensured the porcelain fixed bridge is exact in fit, he will cement it into place. We invite you to learn more about porcelain fixed bridges and how they can restore your smile by calling our office today.
PORCELAIN INLAYS & ONLAYS
When a tooth has experienced decay or damage, but a significant portion of the original tooth structure still remains, we may suggest porcelains inlays and onlays to conservatively treat the damage and maintain a natural aesthetic. Inlays and onlays are also called indirect fillings and can be made from multiple types of materials. At Dennington Dental, we use porcelain inlays and onlays to provide superior strength and beauty. Inlays and onlays are both used to treat damage, but there are slight differences. An inlay is used when the damage does not extend to the cusp of the tooth, while an onlay is suggested to repair tooth damage that includes the cusps of the tooth. The cusp of a tooth is the very top, projected part of the tooth’s surface. Our expert dentist, Dr. Dennington, will help you determine if an inlay or an onlay will best suit your specific dental needs.
We provide custom-made porcelain inlays and onlays in Napa, CA. They are created to fit your natural bite perfectly, improving both the function and health of your smile. If you would like to learn more about an inlay or an onlay, we invite you to call our office and schedule a consultation with Dr. Dennington today.
PORCELAIN DENTAL VENEERS
If you have a cosmetic dental flaw, porcelain veneers are a superior solution. Very thin shells with a natural look and feel, veneers are bonded to the front of teeth to help create a more perfect smile. Dental veneers are typically created from porcelain; Dr. Dennington, our excellent dentist, is able to either match the shade of porcelain to your natural tooth color or pick a lighter shade for an overall whitening effect. We will work together with you to determine what will work best based upon your individual needs and desires. Our goal is to help you achieve a beautiful smile that you will be proud to share. Dental veneers in Napa, CA may be suggested to repair:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Broken teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Overcrowded or misaligned teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth damaged from dental trauma
Getting veneers at Dennington Dental is easier than ever thanks to our CEREC® same-day restoration technology. In just one office visit, your veneers can be designed, created, and applied. To place a veneer, our team will gently remove a small layer of enamel to accommodate the size of the veneer. Once we ensure it fits and looks properly, the veneer will be permanently cemented into place. For more information, we invite you to call our dental office and schedule a cosmetic consultation today.
TEETH WHITENING
Over the course of your life, the enamel of your teeth can become discolored or stained. Age alone causes yellowing, and certain lifestyle habits only make things worse. Smoking, tobacco use, wine, coffee, sugary foods, and dark-colored drinks cause stains, while old metal dental restorations can darken your smile as well. To help reverse this process, our skilled dental team at Dennington Dental provides teeth whitening to restore your beautiful smile. While there are many types of teeth whitening methods, all are similar in their basic approach. Generally, through in-office or at-home systems, a gentle hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to the surface of your teeth. The gel absorbs into the discolored enamel of your tooth to bleach deep-rooted stains and discoloration.
Our teeth whitening method of choice is teeth whitening trays. Our talented dentist, Dr. Dennington, will make custom plastic trays from molds of your teeth to hold the whitening gel. Through this method, you will be able to whiten your smile at your own convenience at home. Teeth whitening is safe, easy to do, and effective in boosting self-confidence. For more information about professional teeth whitening in Napa, CA, we encourage you to call or visit our dental office to schedule a consultation today. We look forward to helping you achieve a more beautiful smile!
