Cosmetic Veneers
Ceramic veneers are thin shells, made from porcelain, and custom-fitted over your natural teeth. Dr. Smith can change the shape, shade and size of your teeth. This is done along with Laser shaping of the gums for a sunning outcome in as little as two visits.

DaVinci Dentures
Poorly fitting, out-of-date dentures can be replaced with new ones that take advantage of the very latest advances in dental science and technology to provide a more natural look as well as a better fit. Dr. Smith takes advantage of all the new materials in dental science to make dentures that seem like the teeth nature gave you.

See amazing results of Porcelain Crowns
If a filling in one of your teeth is very large, the sides of the tooth become too thin and are very likely to break. The dentist must then
place a crown over the tooth to hold up against the pressures of chewing. Dr. Smith uses porcelain crowns that look like your natural teeth,
right down to the gum line.
The newest materials in cosmetic dentistry are the new Empress Porcelain crowns, which are also known as "caps." The Empress Porcelain crowns
lack the tell-tale metal margin where the tooth meets the gum line. Call Dr. Smith to have an evaluation to see if Empress Crowns are for
you.
Dental Implants Restore your Confidence and Smile
Dental implants are artificial teeth set permanently into the patient's jaw bone. Many patients compare dental implants to having your own natural teeth back again. But before going ahead with the procedure, Dr. Smith must carefully check your jawbone and other oral tissues to make sure they are healthy and that you are a candidate for the procedure. Dental implants can replace a single tooth or, if you have false teeth, replace your dentures to give you back your youthful look.

Dental Bonding -- What is It?
Dr. Smith uses a composite resin on stained, broken or chipped teeth or teeth that have gaps. Dental bonding can also reshape and recolor your smile without a lot of discomfort or time in the chair.

Worn, yellow fillings, caps and bridges can be revitalized with the newest in all ceramic restoration, using a remarkable new protocol by Dr. Leonard Smith of San Jose. Restorations without metal materials provide the youthful, healthy look you desire. Metal-free fillings in your teeth remove the health concerns many patients have about dental procedures and the materials used.
What is Best Smile(TM), Dr. Smith?
Best Smile(TM) is total family care that incorporates my unique training in all phrases of dental treatment -- plus the latest technology. Best Smile(TM) is a complete package of comprehensive oral evaluation, total treatment planning and the ability to provide all phases of specialty care in minimal visits and offering the comfort of sedation dentistry.

Isn't Best Smile(TM) just for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry has become a misunderstood concept. Cosmetic dentistry has always existed -- only today the technology and materials are so advanced and natural-looking that the patient benefits more than ever in cosmetic, restorative, implant or denture treatment.
You Sound Very Excited About Best Smile(TM), Dr. Smith!
I am, because I am not only a dentist, I am also a patient. Each day I see the happiness that is brought into the lives of my patients using the Best Smile(TM) concept.
Over the years, listening to patients' concerns, there has been a common theme that stops them from seeking treatment: Does my dentist care about me and is there compassion about my well being? Must I go to other offices for specialty treatments and have multiple appointments? Wouldn't it be nice to wake up and have my treatment be finished? I decided to address those concerns, and the Best Smile(TM) concept was created to bring the patients the benefit of a unique and convenient form of dental care.
The
TEN Most Important Tips In Choosing a Cosmetic
Dentist
Secrets of cosmetic dentistry: The top
ten secrets why you need Best Smile®
- Gum line scalloping with laser……The ONE most subtle and important factor. A dental laser is essential to eliminate time and cost of treatment by a periodontist.
- Ideal proportion of the upper front central incisors. Feminine or masculine: symmetry.
- Reshaping all teeth in the smile to that proportion. The Golden Proportion: symmetry.
- Shade: new Empress Porcelain, cut backs at sides and incisal. This is THE ONE step that can be short cut and the result will suffer. Ask the doctor.
- Warmth from the underlying tooth. Veneers are thin and take on the warmth of the natural tooth. This is why all teeth are unique and natural looking when done with the Best Smile™ system.
- Diagnostic wax up……you see the results before the treatment.
- Temporaries from wax up, bonded on : they
don’t come off.
- Two appointments: extreme time conservation.
- Conscious sedation: pleasant, no pain.
- Total Treatment, One Office, One Doctor
- Ultimate Convenience.
The most important factor when choosing a Cosmetic Dentist Specialist? The Doctor believes in the treatment!
