Cosmetic dentistry is an umbrella term that refers to multiple procedures that affect the physical appearance of your teeth and mouth. Cosmetic dentistry is also something of a misnomer. When people read the word “cosmetic,” they tend to associate it with something trivial or vain. However, cosmetic dentistry actually can solve a host of functional issues with your smile and bite, as well as improve your quality of life.
Dr. Richard Feinberg provides a full suite of La Mesa cosmetic dentistry services to suit your oral health needs. As a highly-trained prosthodontist, Dr. Feinberg thoroughly evaluates your condition to determine the root causes of your dental problems, then applies the appropriate corrective action.
If you’re feeling somewhat self-conscious about your teeth, or just want to improve your smile, cosmetic dental treatments may be the answer to a more beautiful, confident smile.
Cosmetic dentistry has become very popular in the last several years, not only due to the many advances in cosmetic dental procedures and materials available today, but also because patients are becoming more and more focused on improving their overall health. This includes dental prevention and having a healthier, whiter, more radiant smile.
Cosmetic dentistry can have a real impact on your day-to-day life. When you feel good about your smile, you're more likely to show it. That kind of confidence can change the way you carry yourself, interact with others, and even how you feel at work or in social settings. On a practical level, many cosmetic treatments also help improve how your teeth function and how easy they are to care for.

— Customer Review
Everyone’s smile is different, and cosmetic dentistry can help with a wide range of concerns. Whether it's something you've had since childhood or changes that happened over time, there are treatments that can help.
Teeth can darken with age, diet, or medications. Whitening or veneers can bring back a brighter, more even color.
Some teeth are naturally smaller or shaped differently than others. Bonding or veneers can create a more balanced look.
Spaces between teeth can be closed with cosmetic bonding, Invisalign, or porcelain veneers.
Mild to moderate alignment issues can be corrected with clear aligners or a combination of cosmetic treatments.
Teeth that have flattened or shortened over time can be restored to their original height with crowns or bonding.
Minor damage can be repaired quickly with bonding, veneers, or crowns that blend in with your natural teeth.
If your gums show more than your teeth when you smile, laser gum contouring can help create a more balanced appearance.
Cosmetic and restorative treatments like implants or bridges can replace missing teeth and restore your smile’s fullness.
One of the first things we think of when we think about cosmetic issues with the teeth is the shade of the teeth. Regular wear and tear, coffee or tea, smoking or chewing tobacco, wine, and other things, can all darken or discolor your teeth. Professional teeth whitening at San Diego Dental Center can get your teeth whiter and brighter by several shades.
Invisalign is the clear way to get a straighter, more symmetric smile. We offer this at our La Mesa dental office. Invisalign works by straightening and aligning the teeth using a series of nearly invisible, clear plastic aligners. Both teens and adults can achieve their ideal straighter teeth and beautiful smile with Invisalign.
A whiter, brighter smile is within your reach with dental veneers. Whether you have uneven teeth, severe discoloration, chipped or cracked teeth, or uneven gaps, veneers can create a brilliant, pearly white smile. Veneers are shell-like coverings that are bonded onto the surface of teeth. Dr. Feinberg is the best cosmetic dentist in La Mesa when it comes to providing natural-looking porcelain veneers.
A full mouth reconstruction involves a total transformation of your upper and lower teeth. This involves a combination of bridges, veneers, implants, or crowns to give you a gorgeous new smile. Dr. Feinberg specializes in full mouth reconstruction, dedicating himself to providing patients with a brand new smile they will love.
Some patients come to Dr. Feinberg’s office with decay or damage to a tooth that undermines its structural integrity. In these cases, inlays or onlays are a smart treatment that stabilizes teeth while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible. Dental inlays and onlays involve bonding a special material onto the surface of teeth, covering areas of damage without replacing the entire tooth.
A dental crown is a cap that is molded and shaped to resemble a natural tooth. It is put in place over an existing tooth to restore shape, strength, and cosmetic appearance. Crowns can be an excellent solution to common problems such as tooth decay, teeth that are chipped and broken and other dental issues.
Traditional gold or silver fillings may be effective, but patients often complain that they are unattractive. Today, many patients opt for tooth colored fillings that provide a closer match to the hue of their natural teeth. Tooth colored fillings are long-lasting and effective, making them a great choice for treating cavities.
Dr. Feinberg spent more than three decades providing the best cosmetic dentistry La Mesa and San Diego have experienced. His experience and his dedication to his patients have led to generations of happy patients who rave about his attention to detail and his compassionate care. For 19 years, Dr. Feinberg served his community by providing expert-level care to La Mesa’s underserved communities as the dental director of the Logan Heights Family Health Center.
At San Diego Dental Center, no two cosmetic dentistry procedures are identical. Dr. Feinberg takes the time to review your situation in detail, and crafts the perfect solution for your needs. That is the role of a trained prosthodontist like Dr. Feinberg, and he loves restoring the confidence and abilities of his patients through his cosmetic dentistry interventions.
There’s no one-size-fits-all price tag for cosmetic dentistry. Each treatment is tailored to the person receiving it: your goals, your dental history, and the techniques or materials involved all play a part in the final cost. Some patients need just one small enhancement, while others may choose a more complete smile makeover.
Costs typically include everything involved in your treatment, like the dentist’s time, surgical or lab fees, materials, anesthetic, and any use of the facility. During your consultation, Dr. Feinberg will walk you through your options, explain what’s included, and give you a clear idea of what to expect financially. We also offer financing options to make things easier on your budget.
