Esthetics Matter, but Foundation Comes First
Traditional cosmetic dentistry often focuses on the appearance of the teeth.
At BEST, Dr. Chris Chui takes a broader view.
Before placing veneers, crowns, or other cosmetic restorations, he evaluates how your teeth fit together, how your jaw joints are functioning, and whether clenching, grinding, or airway issues may be placing excess stress on your smile.
The goal is to create results that are as durable and comfortable as they are beautiful.
For Patients Who Want Cosmetic Results Designed to Last
Bite-stabilized cosmetic dentistry may be ideal if you want to:
- Enhance the appearance of your smile
- Repair worn or chipped teeth
- Close spaces or improve proportions
- Address discoloration or uneven edges
- Restore teeth affected by grinding
- Improve both esthetics and function
It is especially valuable for patients with a history of clenching, TMJ symptoms, or significant tooth wear.
A Customized Combination of Functional and Esthetic Care
Depending on your goals and clinical needs, treatment may include:
- Veneers
- Crowns
- Bonding
- Whitening
- Bite adjustment
- Orthotic therapy
- TMJ stabilization
- Full smile design
Each case is planned to ensure the final result fits harmoniously within a stable bite.
A Beautiful Smile Should Not Be Fighting Against Your Bite
When cosmetic dentistry is placed on an unstable foundation, restorations can be subjected to excessive force.
That may lead to chipping, wear, discomfort, or shortened longevity.
By addressing the bite first, we reduce unnecessary stress and create conditions that allow your cosmetic results to perform the way they were intended.
A More Thoughtful Cosmetic Process
Your treatment begins with smile and bite planning.
Dr. Chui evaluates your esthetic goals, facial structure, bite relationships, and any underlying functional concerns.
From there, treatment is sequenced to ensure your final restorations look natural, feel comfortable, and are built to last.
Function First. Esthetics as the Finish.
The CHUI Method is built on Precision, Stability, and Longevity.
Bite-stabilized cosmetic dentistry reflects that philosophy by ensuring the structural foundation is sound before the final esthetic refinements are completed.
Stabilize first. Then integrate.
