When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, the New Image Dental team believes in “form meets function.” We strive to create beautiful, healthy smiles that feel good and are built to last. Your cosmetic consultation will begin with a comprehensive oral health evaluation. By tackling dental problems before smile enhancements, you can have the peace of mind that your new smile is built on a solid foundation.
Another important aspect of cosmetic dentistry is communication. Each smile is unique and personal. Dr. Leslie and Dr. Scott Strommer will listen to you talk about your goals and expectations for cosmetic dentistry. By learning what you want from your cosmetic dentist, we can deliver the best care and procedures for your case.
Porcelain Veneers
Chips, stains, cracks, worn tooth structure, and even slightly misaligned teeth can find new life and beauty with porcelain veneers. Dr. Leslie and Dr. Scott Strommer studied cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain veneers, at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, and they are members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Scott is also a graduate of the prestigious Kois Center in Seattle. Our entire team believes that great cosmetic dentistry, built on a healthy foundation, can change a patient’s outlook on life.
Porcelain veneers can produce powerful transformations. Your cosmetic consultation will begin with a comprehensive assessment of your desires, dentition, skin tone, and facial symmetry. Dr. Scott or Dr. Leslie will spend time speaking with you about the results you wish to achieve. This information will help Dr. Leslie or Dr. Scott Strommer design a custom treatment plan to give you the smile that you have always wanted. A highly skilled ceramist in a trusted dental lab will make your veneers by hand with fine dental porcelain that looks like natural tooth enamel. Expect two appointments for the complete procedure.
Our goal is to have you smiling with confidence! When you smile with confidence, it shows! This may help in all areas of your life, whether it be your career, relationships, or even having the smile you’ve always dreamed of before a major event, such as a wedding. We have patients come to us for veneers to improve their smile for many reasons.

Dental Bonding
We can place enamel-like resin (bonding resin) on a broken or misshapen tooth’s surface and sculpt it exactly like a natural tooth. Dental Bonding can sometimes be a conservative option to other more involved cosmetic procedures. Schedule a complimentary cosmetic consultation to find out what treatment options work best for you.
Tooth-Colored – Metal-free Fillings
For years there has been debate in the dental profession regarding the pros and cons of using silver amalgam fillings, which contain about 50% mercury, to restore cavities. While it has not been proven scientifically mercury can harm you, we have chosen to not use silver amalgam/mercury fillings, as the technology involved with them is well over 150 years old. There are also several drawbacks to them, which can cause trouble for teeth with silver fillings.
At New Image Dental, we prefer to provide our patients with the newest and best alternatives available, which are bonded ceramic composite resins. Not only do they look natural, they provide a much better service and protection for your teeth, as they eliminate all the shortcomings of the old fashioned silver fillings. They seal the teeth better, insulate against hot and cold better, and if they wear down they can be repaired more easily. Many people who are undergoing a cosmetic improvement on their front teeth elect to have dark silver fillings in their back teeth replaced with the bonded ceramic resins to provide a total cosmetic improvement.
The smile you’ve always wanted can become your reality. The first step toward a new smile is a call to our San Diego dental office. Schedule your cosmetic consultation with one of New Image Dental’s experienced cosmetic dentists, and get on the road to a whole new you!
