Your smile plays a big part in how you feel about yourself. If you’ve been thinking about making a change, cosmetic dentistry may be the answer.
At Bella Dental in Oxnard, we offer personalized smile design and cosmetic treatments to help you feel more confident, comfortable, and at ease when you smile.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. Treatments can address a wide range of concerns, including discolouration, gaps, chipped teeth, uneven shapes, or worn edges.
Unlike general dentistry, which deals with dental health and function, cosmetic dentistry is centred around how your smile looks and how you feel about it. In many cases, cosmetic treatments also support long-term oral health by restoring balance and structure to your bite.
Common cosmetic treatments include:
Your Bella Dental team will help you explore the right combination of services to reach your goals.
Smile design is a step-by-step process that creates a customized plan for improving your smile. It considers your facial features, tooth shape, gum line, and personal preferences.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all treatments, smile design creates a blueprint based on your unique needs and goals. This approach allows us to deliver natural-looking results that fit your face and your lifestyle.
The process often involves a combination of treatments and is done at your pace. Your input is central to every decision.
You may be considering cosmetic dentistry if you feel self-conscious about any part of your smile. Even small changes can make a big difference in how you carry yourself day to day.
Common reasons people choose cosmetic dentistry include:
You don’t need to have major damage to benefit from smile design. We’re here to support you with honest advice and personalised care.
At Bella Dental, we take a thoughtful, patient-centred approach to cosmetic dentistry. Every smile is different, and we’re here to guide you through the process with clear steps and ongoing support.
We begin with a comprehensive consultation. Your dentist will take time to understand your goals, look at your current smile, and explain what changes are possible. We may take photos, impressions, or digital scans to help visualise your future smile.
We’ll talk through different treatment options and create a plan that fits your schedule, budget, and preferences. Whether you want one small adjustment or a complete transformation, your plan is designed around what matters most to you.
Each treatment plan is different. Depending on your goals, you may receive one or more of the following procedures:
Teeth Whitening: Removes surface stains and brightens the natural colour of your teeth.
Veneers: Thin, custom shells that cover the front of the teeth to improve shape, colour, and alignment.
Bonding: A tooth-colored material is applied to fix chips, fill small gaps, or even out the shape of a tooth.
Gum Contouring: Helps reshape the gum line for better balance and proportion.
Crowns or Bridges: Restores damaged teeth or replaces missing teeth with natural-looking results.
Invisalign: Clear aligners gently shift teeth into better alignment without the need for metal braces.
We’ll explain each step, give you a clear timeline, and make sure you feel comfortable at every visit. Most treatments are completed over a few appointments, but simpler changes may be done in just one.
Caring for your smile after cosmetic treatment is simple. We’ll give you clear instructions tailored to the services you’ve received.
In general:
We’ll also check on your progress during follow-up visits and help you maintain your results for the long term.
