Some of the cosmetic services that I provide in my office are veneers, bonded restorations, bleaching. I’ve had patients that come into my office where they’ve had teeth that have front teeth spaces in between, they’re misshapes, they’re too small. They don’t need orthodontics because their bite is good just their teeth are a little misshaped. A really wonderful option for that is a cosmetic veneer and that can be, just, life-changing of what we can do with a few teeth in the front with some porcelain. In my office, I do a lot of prosthodontics, and that’s a fancy word for I do a lot of dentures and partials. I do a lot of high-end dentures: aesthetics where we have these amazing prosthetic teeth these days with our technology that looks really good. When the light hits the prosthetic tooth, it looks really natural. That’s the goal is to have a patient with a confident smile, even if they have all plastic teeth, that it gives them the confidence that it looks as natural as we can get it to look.

Select the Right Cosmetic Dental Treatments for Your Smile
According to a study conducted by the American Dental Association (ADA), one in four adults avoids smiling due to the condition of their mouth and teeth. That’s certainly no way to live! Whether you need a subtle improvement or a total smile makeover, we offer several cosmetic options that will make all the difference:
- Dental Veneers – This is a great solution to conceal smile problems such as chips, small cracks, gaps, discoloration, and misshapen teeth. Dr. Shook will affix thin custom-made ceramic or porcelain “shells” to the front of your teeth.
- Tooth Bonding – This is another procedure that hides chips, cracks, and other flaws. With bonding, we will carefully apply tooth-colored composite resin directly to your teeth. It can usually be done in just one visit!
- Teeth Whitening – Choose from several whitening treatments to brighten your smile, including in-office, at-home, and laser whitening treatment. We’ll work with you to determine which is best suited for your teeth.
- Invisalign – To fix crooked teeth with a nearly invisible solution, you can get clear aligners. These are a wonderful alternative to standard metal braces.
- Teeth Contouring – This quick cosmetic dental treatment improves the appearance of your teeth by changing their shape. It’s great for fixing issues like a chip in your tooth or evening out the length of your teeth.
- Crown Lengthening – By adjusting the level of your gumline, you can lengthen the look of too-short teeth and make sure your smile looks terrific.
- Gum Reshaping – One of the most important aspects of a great-looking smile is a proper ratio of tooth to gum. If your gums dominate your smile, we can restore balance with a gummy smile treatment using a laser.
You can even combine treatments for a total smile makeover! To explore how your cosmetic dentist in San Pedro can improve your smile, call Shook Dental Care at 310-982-6333. You can also request an appointment online.

You probably wouldn’t imagine that you’d ever find yourself going to the dentist and leaving in a considerably better mood than when you walked in. Dr Shook and her team are a rare breed of professionalism and excellent “vibes,” for lack of a more scientifically or medically correct term. Solution-oriented advice, quality teeth cleaning services, and most of all, a genuine friendly attitude that feels like everyone there actually cares about your health. Wish I had found them years ago.

Cosmetic dentistry covers a wide range of services, and each patient has different needs and goals. Because of this, it isn’t possible to give you a price on your cosmetic treatment without first performing an exam and working up a treatment plan. Once we know exactly what you want and need, we can give you an estimate on your smile investment.
Cosmetic dentistry can be life-changing for some patients. We have helped people who were once afraid to open their mouths become proud to show off their smiles. Your self-confidence is always worth investing in treatment that will help you feel comfortable with your appearance.
A few cosmetic treatments are permanent, including gum reshaping and teeth contouring. However, most cosmetic treatments will need to be repeated to maintain your beautiful results. Treatments can last anywhere from several months (teeth whitening) to well over a decade (veneers). Your dentist will provide more information on the longevity of our solutions during your initial consultation.
