Dental Veneers

Made of natural-looking porcelain, dental veneers are thin shells that, when bonded to your teeth, can change a tooth color, shape, and size. We offer dental veneers to patients in Redwood City and nearby areas such as San Mateo and Palo Alto to brighten teeth, hide discoloration, and improve the entire mouth and smile's appearance. The beauty of dental veneers is that they can treat damaged and decayed teeth while also making them straighter, whiter, and even. What's more, dental veneers are long lasting and look extremely natural.

The entire dental veneers procedure usually requires three appointments. During your first visit to our Redwood City office, you will discuss your diagnosis with Dr. Barthman and devise a treatment plan that is right for you. Once you are comfortable with your treatment plan, you will come in for your second appointment, during which a small amount of your natural tooth is removed to accommodate the thickness of the dental veneers. An impression is then taken of your teeth so the lab can custom-fit your dental veneers. During the final appointment, the dental veneers are firmly bonded to your teeth for a natural, comfortable look and feel.

Dental veneers are an excellent way to conceal imperfections in your teeth and create uniformity. If you live in Redwood City or nearby areas such as San Mateo or Palo Alto, contact Dr. Barthman’s dental spa today to find out how she can use dental veneers to repair your teeth and create the smile you've always wanted.

Teeth Whitening - BriteSmile

As part of our commitment to beautiful smiles, we offer the latest, most effective teeth whitening procedure available to patients in Redwood City and nearby areas such as Palo Alto and San Mateo—the BriteSmile In-Office Teeth Whitening System. The BriteSmile teeth whitening treatment uses a combination of formulated lighting and hydrogen peroxide gel to whiten teeth—typically by six to nine shades—in one brief office visit.

During your teeth whitening treatment, the BriteSmile gel is carefully applied to the enamel and then exposed to a gentle, blue light. Over a one-hour period, the BriteSmile teeth whitening gel is applied in three 20-minute applications. Stains disappear without affecting the structure of the teeth. The end result is brighter, whiter teeth that are essentially free of coffee, tea, soft drink, wine, or tobacco stains.

BriteSmile is a fast, safe, and effective teeth whitening procedure that can give you the dazzling white smile you desire in as little as an hour. And, unlike with take-home teeth whitening methods, there are no gels or trays to take home, so you can sit back, relax, and let Dr. Barthman do the rest.

Please contact Dr. Barthman’s dental spa in Redwood City today to find out if the BriteSmile teeth whitening treatment is right for you. We also welcome patients from nearby cities such as Palo Alto and San Mateo.

Invisalign® - Invisible Braces

Have you always dreamed of having beautiful straight teeth, but don’t want to go through the pain and hassle of metal braces? If you answered yes, Invisalign® may be perfect for you. We offer Invisalign® at our Redwood City office to help patients achieve the flawless smiles they have always wanted.

Invisalign® works through a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you are wearing. During your Invisalign® treatment, you will wear each set of aligners for two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each Invisalign® aligner, your teeth will glide into place until they have straightened into the final position you desire. You will visit our Redwood City office every six weeks to ensure that your Invisalign® treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time for Invisalign® averages nine to 15 months and the average number of aligners needed is between 18 and 30, but both vary from patient to patient.

Invisalign® is the invisible, removable, and comfortable method of straightening your teeth. Dr. Barthman has taken the required studies and is certified to treat with Invisalign®. To learn more about Invisalign®, contact our Redwood City office today!

Conservative Tooth-Colored (Natural) Crowns

A crown is a permanent covering that can be placed over a cracked, fractured, or chipped tooth. The newest treatment involves using all-ceramic, metal-free crowns to restore teeth while simultaneously maintaining a realistic appearance. In the past, crowns were often noticeable because the restoration often did not precisely match the tooth's original color. Dark lines that formed near the gums also made crowns more obvious. Today, porcelain crowns offer a natural appearance. Dr. Barthman can use metal-free crowns to whiten, reshape, and realign your teeth. The result will be a restored tooth and a beautiful new smile. Please contact Dr. Jean Barthman in Redwood City today to learn more! We also encourage inquiries from patients in nearby areas such as San Mateo and Palo Alto.

Microabrasion - Removal of White Spots

Are there spots on your teeth that are either non-white in color or so white they appear chalky in appearance? These types of discolorations are the result of a number of things, including excessive ingestion of fluoride, severe blows made to a baby tooth, or childhood illnesses and oral infections. Microabrasion is a way to eliminate such markings left on our teeth. Using an abrasive substance, Dr. Barthman is able to remove the stains. While there are no certainties, in many cases superficial discolorations are highly treatable and speckled, discolored teeth can usually be improved.

For more information about how microabrasion can benefit you, contact Dr. Barthman’s dental spa in Redwood City today!
