Cosmetic Dentistry in Anaheim & Los Angeles

Professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and cosmetic bonding with Dr. Francisco Kim, DDS. Korean, Spanish, and English spoken.

Cosmetic Treatments

Professional Teeth Whitening

Custom-fitted trays and professional-strength gel that lift years of coffee, tea, and wine stains. Safer and more even than store-bought strips, with easy touch-ups later.

Porcelain Veneers

Thin, custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth to correct color, shape, chips, and small gaps. Stain-resistant and natural-looking.

Cosmetic Bonding

Tooth-colored composite shaped directly on the tooth to repair chips, close small gaps, or cover discoloration — usually done in a single visit with little or no drilling.

Smile Makeovers

A combined plan that may include whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, Invisalign, or implants — sequenced in the right order so everything matches in the end.

Why Professional Whitening Works Better

Professional Custom Trays

  • Trays made from impressions of your teeth
  • Gel stays on the teeth, not on the gums
  • Even, predictable results
  • Reusable trays — touch-ups only need a refill kit

Store-Bought Strips

  • One-size-fits-all
  • Gel can miss areas or irritate gums
  • Uneven results are common
  • New kit needed every time
Good to know: crowns, veneers, and tooth-colored fillings do not whiten. If you have restorations in your smile, we plan the order of treatment so everything matches.

The Veneer Process

1

Smile Consultation

Dr. Kim examines your teeth, listens to what you want to change, and explains whether veneers, bonding, or whitening is the better fit.

2

Preparation

Under local anesthesia, a thin layer of enamel is reshaped and impressions are taken. You leave with temporary veneers.

3

Custom Fabrication

Your veneers are made to the shade and shape planned at your consultation.

4

Bonding

Fit and color are checked, then the veneers are permanently bonded and your bite is adjusted.

Veneers or bonding? Bonding is a faster, lower-cost option for small chips and gaps. Porcelain veneers cost more but resist staining and last longer. Dr. Kim will tell you which one makes sense for your teeth — conservative options first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically one to three years, depending on your diet and habits. Coffee, red wine, and tobacco are the biggest factors in re-staining. The good news: once you have professional trays, touch-ups only require a refill kit — not a full retreatment.

The preparation visit uses local anesthesia, so you don't feel the enamel reduction while it's happening. Some patients notice mild temperature sensitivity for a few days afterward, which typically resolves on its own. The bonding appointment is straightforward and usually comfortable without anesthesia.

We'll evaluate your specific situation. Dental restorations — crowns, veneers, bonding, tooth-colored fillings — do not respond to whitening agents. If you have restorations in visible areas, we sequence the treatment to avoid a mismatch: whitening first, then replacing visible restorations to match your new shade if needed.

Start with a smile consultation. Dr. Kim will look at your teeth, discuss what's bothering you, and walk through your options — conservative first, more involved only if necessary. There's no pressure and no obligation. Cosmetic treatment works best when the patient understands exactly what they're getting and why.

Yes. All cosmetic services — whitening, veneers, bonding, smile makeovers — are available at both the Anaheim and Los Angeles (Koreatown) offices. Dr. Kim sees patients at both locations and handles the full scope of treatment himself.
