At Dr. Christine Hansen and Associates, your Palo Alto dentist, we believe everyone deserves a smile they love. Recent advancements in cosmetic dentistry offer many ways to improve your teeth’s appearance and boost your confidence. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the most popular cosmetic dentistry techniques to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
Porcelain Veneers: Transform Your Smile with Custom Solutions
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surfaces of your teeth and match their color. They are ideal for correcting:
- Teeth discoloration
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Oddly shaped or misaligned teeth
- Spaces between teeth
These veneers offer a durable and stain-resistant solution for enhancing your smile. The process typically requires two or three visits to our office, and the results can be truly transformative. At Dr. Christine Hansen and Associates, we specialize in cosmetic dental procedures to help you achieve a smile you love.
Dental Bonding: Quick and Effective Cosmetic Solution
Dental bonding is the process of applying a tooth-colored resin to your teeth and curing it with a special light. It’s an excellent solution for:
- Fixing fractured or chipped teeth
- Improving the appearance of discolored teeth
- Closing gaps between teeth
- Enhancing teeth morphology
Bonding is one of the simplest and most affordable cosmetic dental procedures, often completed in a single visit.
Professional Teeth Whitening: Effective Solutions for a Brighter Smile
Expert teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures. At Dr. Christine Hansen and Associates, we offer both take-home and in-office whitening services. Our expert-grade whitening can effectively address stains caused by:
- Red wine, tea, and coffee
- Tobacco use
- Aging
- Certain medications
Compared to over-the-counter options, professional whitening is safer and more effective, delivering noticeable results more quickly. This procedure is a key part of our dental care, especially for emergencies involving discolored teeth.

Achieve Straighter Teeth with Invisalign
With Invisalign, people can achieve straighter teeth almost invisibly if they prefer not to wear traditional braces. These transparent, removable aligners gradually move your teeth into the ideal alignment. Treatments that Invisalign is effective for include:
- Severe crowding
- Spaces between teeth
- Bite issues: underbite and overbite
- Cross bites
Invisalign aligners are popular for adults and teens because they’re nearly invisible, comfortable, and removable for eating and cleaning. We work with a dental lab to craft your aligners for the best results.
Restore and Enhance Your Smile with Dental Crowns and Gum Contouring
We place dental crowns over damaged teeth to restore their size, strength, shape, and appearance, while also enhancing the look of stained or deformed teeth. Crowns serve both restorative and cosmetic purposes, and they can be made from porcelain, composite, or porcelain fused to metal to match the natural look of your teeth and gums.
In addition to dental crowns, gum contouring can help you achieve a more balanced and attractive smile, especially for those with an uneven gum line or a “gummy” smile. This procedure reshapes your gums to create a more harmonious appearance, complementing the restorative work of dental crowns. Together, these treatments can give you a healthier, more confident smile.
Personalized Cosmetic Consultation for Your Ideal Smile
We at Dr. Christine Hansen and Associates are aware of the individual needs and objectives of every patient. During your cosmetic consultation, we will assess your dental health, discuss your goals, and recommend the best way to achieve your ideal smile.
