Your smile is one of the first things people notice, and one of the last things you should have to worry about. At Prestige Dental, our cosmetic dentist in Pasadena, Dr. Vasag Bouzoghlanian, has spent over a decade helping patients rediscover the confidence that comes with a smile they are genuinely proud of.
Cosmetic dentistry is not a single procedure, it is a discipline. It requires an understanding of dental science, facial aesthetics, and the subtle art of designing a smile that complements each patient's unique features. Dr. Bouzoghlanian trained at the prestigious UCLA School of Dentistry, graduating at the top of his class and receiving the Pierre Fauchard Certificate of Merit, and brings that same level of precision to every cosmetic case at our Pasadena dental practice.
Whether your goal is a brighter smile, a complete transformation, or something in between, cosmetic dentistry in Pasadena at Prestige Dental is built around one principle: results that look completely natural and last for years.
“I approach every cosmetic case the way an artist approaches a canvas — except the canvas is a person, and the outcome has to be both beautiful and clinically sound. My goal is always a smile that my patient loves and that no one can tell was 'done.'”
— Dr. Vasag Bouzoghlanian, Cosmetic Dentist in Pasadena
Cosmetic Dental Services at Prestige Dental in Pasadena
As your cosmetic dentist in Pasadena, Dr. Bouzoghlanian offers the full range of smile enhancement treatments, each tailored to your specific goals, timeline, and budget.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth to completely reshape your smile, correcting color, shape, size, and spacing in one coordinated treatment. Dental Vveneers address stained or discolored teeth, unsightly gaps, chipped teeth, and more. Because each patient is unique, Dr. B analyzes your specific case to determine whether porcelain veneers are the right solution and designs your treatment accordingly in our Pasadena dental office. He uses the finest quality dental materials and works with local, highly experienced dental labs specializing in aesthetic dentistry to master craft the veneers.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-grade teeth whitening that goes far beyond anything available over the counter. We offer in-office whitening in Pasadena for immediate results and custom take-home trays for patients who prefer gradual brightening, both using clinical-strength materials in a safe, dentist-supervised protocol.
Smile Makeovers
When multiple elements need to be addressed, color, shape, alignment, gum line, proportion, Dr. B creates a coordinated plan that treats everything as a unified design. A smile makeover at Prestige Dental has transformed the confidence of professionals, parents, and patients of all ages throughout Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley.
Composite Bonding
Tooth-colored composite resin applied and sculpted directly on the tooth to correct chips, minor gaps, and shape irregularities, often in a single appointment, with no tooth preparation required. Composite bonding delivers beautiful results for the right cases, and Dr. B will tell you honestly when it is and is not your best option.
Gum Contouring
An uneven gum line can undermine an otherwise beautiful smile. Gum contouring reshapes the tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth surface, a small change that makes a significant visual difference, especially before veneer or whitening cases. Teeth may sometimes look uneven or mismatch in size because of an uneven gumline. Similarly, a prominent “gummy” smile may detract from the beauty of the teeth. Using hi-tech equipment, Pasadena dentist Dr. Bouzoghlanian can conservatively reshape the gums to restore harmony and beauty with your smile.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
Most adults in good general dental health are candidates for some form of cosmetic dentistry in Pasadena. During your consultation, Dr. B will conduct a full evaluation, including your bite, gum health, and existing restorations, before recommending any treatment. You may be a great candidate for cosmetic dentistry in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley if you:
- Are unhappy with the color of your teeth: discoloration from coffee, wine, aging, or medication.
- Have chipped, cracked, or worn teeth: bonding or veneers can restore shape and structure.
- Want to close gaps or correct spacing: without orthodontic treatment in many cases.
- Have an uneven gum line: contouring creates a more balanced, symmetrical smile.
- Are preparing for a major life event: a wedding, professional headshots, or a career transition.
- Simply want to feel more confident: that is reason enough.
If underlying dental issues — such as cavities, gum disease, or a misaligned bite — need to be addressed first, Dr. B will let you know and sequence your care appropriately. Cosmetic work always begins on a healthy foundation.
What to Expect at Your Cosmetic Consultation
Your first visit with our cosmetic dentist in Pasadena is a conversation, not a sales pitch. Dr. B will take the time to understand what you want, and what you do not want. Bring photos of smiles you admire, share what has always bothered you, and ask every question you have.
During your consultation, Dr. B will:
- Review your dental and medical history to understand any factors that affect your treatment options.
- Conduct a full oral health evaluation, including gums, bite, and existing restorations.
- Take diagnostic photos and X-rays as needed to support treatment planning.
- Present your options clearly with an honest assessment of what each can realistically achieve.
- Provide a detailed treatment plan and estimate before anything is scheduled.
There is no pressure at Prestige Dental. The consultation is about understanding your goals, the decision to move forward is always yours, on your timeline.
Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry in Pasadena
Cosmetic dentistry is an investment, and the cost varies significantly based on what you are trying to achieve. A professional whitening treatment is a very different scope than a full set of porcelain veneers or a comprehensive smile makeover.
At Prestige Dental in Pasadena, we provide complete, transparent pricing during your consultation, before any treatment begins. We never recommend more than you need, and we will always give you honest guidance on which options deliver the best long-term value for your goals.
To make care accessible, we offer:
- CareCredit financing: apply online or in-office for low- and no-interest payment plans.
- Flexible payment arrangements: our front desk team will work with your budget.
- Insurance coordination: while manymost cosmetic procedures are not covered by dental insurance, some restorative components of a cosmetic plan may be partially covered.
