Veneers
Veneers may be the most versatile cosmetic solution we offer. These thin sheath coverings are attached to the front-facing surfaces of teeth, effectively concealing several cosmetic flaws including chips, cracks, gaps, misalignment, and other imperfections. If we determine veneers are the right option, the process is completed over the course of two appointments.
During the initial visit to our dental office, a small amount of surface tooth enamel is removed. This preparation allows the veneers to lay flat within the patient’s smile lines. Next, we’ll take impressions of the patient’s prepared teeth that will be used by our dental lab to create the custom veneers. Finally, we’ll place temporary veneers to protect the prepared teeth, until the final restorations are complete. The patient will return to our dental office and exchange the temporaries for the custom veneers, and with proper care, they’ll retain a flawless smile for years.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Blurring the line between cosmetic and restorative care, metal-free restorations are an ideal solution to repair dental damage or conceal cosmetic flaws for those patients who wish to achieve natural-looking and -feeling results. Crafted from a block of dental ceramic, metal-free crowns, bridges, and other restorations repair lost structure and improve the overall appearance of patients’ smiles, following decay, trauma, or to conceal cosmetic irregularities. Patients interested in metal-free restorations should expect the same treatment process as traditional crowns. When we receive this final restoration, patients return to exchange their temporary for the custom-crafted solution and leave our dental office with flawless smiles.
Direct Bonding
Instead of opting for more complex cosmetic procedures like veneers or metal-free restorations to fix small tooth imperfections, we can use direct bonding. Using composite resin that is matched to blend with a patient’s natural tooth color, we will apply the solution to the surface of the tooth and begin to shape it so that the flaw is properly covered. The result is a quick and easy method of treatment that produces a new and improved smile that can last for years with proper care.
Teeth Whitening
Getting whiter teeth is a desire of many patients. There are numerous products available from local pharmacies and beauty supply stores, and while these strips, gels, and whitening toothpaste promise dramatic transformations, they are typically unable to deliver guaranteed results. Our professional-grade teeth whitening treatments are more effective than those available over the counter. Not only do we use a more effective dose of active whitening agents, but we apply the whitener effectively to allow the product to remain active for an extended period of time. Most importantly, our skilled dentists and dental hygienists will examine patients’ teeth and create a personalized whitening plan specific to their unique needs.
Crown Lengthening
This is a treatment that reshapes the gums to improve the overall appearance of the smile line by exposing underlying tooth structures. This treatment may be recommended for those patients who simply want to improve the appearance of a “gummy” smile or for those who need to reveal additional dental structures to support a restoration such as a crown or bridge. We remove the minimum amount of soft tissue while still achieving patients’ goals, and most people achieve full recovery within just a few days.

Smile Makeovers
Stained teeth can be treated with the help of professional teeth whitening. A cracked tooth can be protected with a metal-free dental restoration. But a smile that consists of many different imperfections requires more than just one type of treatment. This is where a smile makeover can be beneficial. Combining cosmetic and restorative services into one convenient plan, our dental team can rebuild and revitalize patients’ teeth and gums so that beautiful, aesthetically pleasing smiles are the result.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
Cosmetic dental procedures are incredibly low risk, especially when performed by trained professionals. When you receive cosmetic dentistry from us, we can guarantee that the treatment will be completely safe.
The only instances where there’s some risk is if you’re dealing with existing oral health problems, like gum disease and tooth decay. For that reason, we will perform a thorough exam before beginning cosmetic treatment to ensure that you’re prepared for the procedure. We will also address any health issues that could cause problems.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth It?
The benefits of cosmetic dentistry are a bit more abstract than those of fillings or dentures, but they’re just as substantial. There’s no better way to make a good first impression than with a smile, but if you aren’t completely confident in how your teeth look, showing them off can be difficult.
Having pearly whites you’re proud of can make you come off better to others and feel good about yourself. The price you pay for your cosmetic care is an investment that will pay off in ways that you’re sure to notice.
What is the Difference Between a Dentist and a Cosmetic Dentist?
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t a specialty in the way that pediatrics or orthodontics are. Dentists don’t need to complete any specific certifications to offer aesthetic treatments, or to call themselves a “cosmetic dentist.”
If you’re looking for someone to beautify your smile, you will have to check their qualifications. Cosmetic dentists usually have advanced training in the field, and they will usually advertise this on their website or in their marketing material.
Are There Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures That Are Suitable for Children or Teenagers?
Many of the most common cosmetic dental treatments are perfectly fine for people of any age, including children and teens. For example, it’s common for kids to have accidents that cause them to chip a tooth—direct bonding is an excellent way to repair this damage quickly, sometimes within as little as a single appointment.
One notable exception is teeth whitening, which can be dangerous for younger people whose enamel isn’t fully developed. If you have questions about whether a specific treatment is okay for your child, we’ll be happy to discuss it with you when we meet for your consultation.
