About these results
Cosmetic and restorative work, done in our own office
Some of these cases are cosmetic, using veneers or bonding to improve shape, color and spacing. Others are restorative, using crowns or implants to rebuild teeth that were damaged, worn down or missing. Most are a mix of both.
Dr. Bienstock plans each case around what the patient wants to change and what will hold up over the long term. If you see a result here that looks like your situation, bring it up at your visit.

Before
After
Replacing a missing tooth
A dental implant filled the gap, and the gumline was reshaped so the new tooth sits evenly next to its neighbors instead of standing out.
Before
After
Blending away white spots
Chalky white marks on the front teeth treated with Icon, a resin that soaks into the enamel and blends the spots into the surrounding tooth. No drilling involved.

Restoring a chipped front tooth
Chipping or cracking a front tooth requires quick remediation. We helped this patient restore their smile.
Before
After
Rebuilding teeth that had worn down
Years of wear had shortened these teeth. Restoring the height brought back both the look and the bite.
Before
After
Closing gaps and evening out the edges
Spacing and chipped edges corrected so the smile line follows the curve of the lower lip.
Before
After
A full upper and lower restoration
Color, shape and alignment addressed together so the whole smile reads as one set of teeth.
All photos are of actual patients of Coastline Dental Care, taken in our Oceanside office and used with permission. Every mouth is different, so individual results vary.
What to expect
How a smile makeover works here
No surprises and no pressure. Here is the path most of our cosmetic cases follow.
We talk first
You tell us what bothers you about your smile. We look, take photos and digital images, and check the health of your teeth and gums.
You see the plan
Dr. Bienstock walks you through the options, what each one involves, and what it costs before anything gets started.
Treatment at your pace
Simple cases can be done in a couple of visits. Larger cases get broken into steps that fit your schedule and your budget.
We check in after
Once everything is in place we make sure the bite feels right and the fit is comfortable, then keep an eye on it at your cleanings.
