Protecting Your Teeth
Years of eating, chewing, and teeth “grinding” can adversely affect the teeth. Teeth with large fillings or root canals can break more easily after too much wear. Dr. Kim utilizes cutting-edge techniques not only to reconstruct the mouth, but also to preserve remaining tissue. As an Enhance Dentist, Dr. David Kim is an enthusiast at protecting and restoring natural-looking smiles using complex multiple-tooth treatments such as a full-mouth reconstruction.

Replacing Lost Teeth
Loss of natural teeth can be traumatic, whether they are lost in an accident or as part of the natural aging process. Tooth loss can affect your outlook on life and make simple pleasures like smiling or going out to eat become a source of stress or embarrassment. With the help of Dr. Kim, there are many options for replacing some or all of your teeth. To help you regain your smile and improve your appearance and self-confidence, Dr. Kim can use crowns, bridges, full or partial dentures, and other restorations as part of a full-mouth reconstruction. Another option available at our Enhance Dentist is dental implants, a more permanent solution that has improved greatly over the last ten years. Whether you need to replace one tooth or many, Dr. David Kim will work with you through every step of dental implant treatment, from your initial consultation through follow-up care.

Complex Care Management
Dr. Kim is trained to manage the most complex dental restorations, including full-mouth reconstructive procedures. Dr. Kim has the special skills needed to restore smiles to the best they can be, from cases requiring rehabilitation after a traumatic injury to creating new smiles for those born with genetic facial defects.

Cosmetic/Esthetic Dentistry
A healthy smile can improve your appearance and raise your self-esteem. If you, like many Americans, are unhappy about the appearance of your smile, you may want to consult Dr. Kim. With his training, Dr. Kim can improve your appearance by fixing broken, discolored, or misshapen teeth and associated structures. The following cosmetic and restorative techniques may be utilized to achieve full-mouth reconstruction at our Valencia or La Crescenta practices:

• Placing complete ceramic esthetic porcelain crowns, or “caps,” onto teeth
• Placing porcelain veneers onto teeth to conceal defects and change contour/color
• Using dental bonding technology on a tooth’s surface to change its shape or to close unwanted gaps
• Professional teeth whitening to brighten and whiten discolored teeth
