Affordable Cosmetic Dentistry

Out-Of-Town Patients

Your smile is one of the most important personal characteristics that conveys volumes of information about who you are. Confidence, friendliness, youthfulness, trust, and health are all traits that are seen in a smile. Choosing the right cosmetic dentist to restore or renew your smile is the single most important decision to make to ensure you receive a beautiful new smile.

Our patients come from all over the United States and from as far away as Europe and Asia. We receive referrals from patients, friends, physicians and other dentists. Dr. Hartley has been voted Top Doctor in cosmetic dentistry by his peers as published in San Jose Magazine. NBCs Today Show has featured his work on a recent segment titled "Turning Back the Clock, Rejuvenating your Smile." His cosmetic dentistry has been published in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry's Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry, and models who are cosmetic patients have been seen in magazine and newspaper advertising.

Clearly an important factor in determining your choice of cosmetic dentists is experience. Dr. Hartley has bonded over 10,000 porcelain restorations with impressive results since establishing his practice in 1986. The Peninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry was the first practice to specialize in cosmetic dentistry in Northern California. His practice is limited to cosmetic dental procedures.

Your cosmetic dentist's natural artistic talent is the defining factor in determining how nice your new teeth and smile will be. When making porcelain veneers, most cosmetic dentists allow the laboratory ceramist to determine critical aesthetic proportions such as tooth shape, angle, width, length and arrangement. Dr. Hartley is one of a handful of cosmetic dentists worldwide who takes responsibility for determining all of these critical aesthetic factors by creating a mock up on the patient's own teeth. This mock up process which Dr. Hartley has developed is called the Bioesthetic Smile Design, and it allows the patient to "preview" the final result. A resin copy of the prototype is then used as a temporary veneer, which further allows the patient to evaluate the aesthetics of the new smile at home, and live with it on a trial basis. Finally, the lab receives a model of the prototype and then faithfully reproduces the defined aesthetic proportions for the new veneers, thereby eliminating any guesswork on their part.

Dr. Hartley has portfolios of hundreds of his own cases for you to look at to give you confidence in the truly amazing results that have been achieved. Many dentists have generic photo albums that show cosmetic cases that are not their own. "Before and after" pictures are a true test of the skill of the cosmetic dentist.

We have made it a priority to keep the cost fair and appropriate. Different treatment options are always presented, giving patients a financial range to choose from which fits their budget. Our fees are significantly more affordable than similarly qualified centers in New York, Beverly Hills, or San Francisco.
