Our Effective Cosmetic Options

Cosmetic dentistry refers to a variety of services that work to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and bite. We can provide a broad selection of procedures that will work to enhance the sparkle of your smile and the fluidity of everyday activities that we often take for granted, like eating and speaking. Some of our cosmetic dental options include, but are not limited to:

Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin prosthetic shells made from porcelain or composite resin that are bonded onto the front surface of the teeth to correct cosmetic issues. We tailor our dental veneers to the nuances of your smile, giving them a natural, light-reflecting appearance similar to your genuine, adjacent teeth. Veneers are an effective solution for restoring chipped, gapped, or discolored teeth.

Teeth Whitening

Our practice offers effective in-office or take-home teeth whitening services provided by Colgate Optic White®. This treatment utilizes a quick-drying whitening serum and an LED device to remove years of stains left behind by pigmented foods and drinks. Our in-office treatment only takes an hour while the take-home kit can be applied at your leisure.

Smile Makeover

Smile Makeover

A smile makeover refers to a combination of two or more cosmetic services that enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your smile from a comprehensive perspective. We will tailor our smile makeover services to the nuances of your oral structure using detailed diagnostic tools such as intraoral cameras and AI-integrated x-rays to yield the most satisfying and thorough results.

Cosmetic Crowns

Cosmetic Crowns

We are proud to offer durable dental crowns crafted to restore decayed, damaged, worn, or misshapen teeth. Our personalized dental crowns fit over your natural teeth to reinvigorate your smile from an aesthetic, functional, and health standpoint.

Teeth whitening is a safe procedure with little to no associated risks. We take care during in-office whitening to prevent the bleaching gel from touching and irritating your gums and lips. It’s common to experience some mild sensitivity to your teeth for a few days after treatment.
Teeth begin to change color as the enamel wears down and takes on a duller appearance. If you’re a heavy smoker or frequently consume acidic beverages like coffee and tea, this could stain your teeth more strongly. Certain severe discolorations that occur deep within the tooth, such as from an injury or aging, may render teeth whitening services ineffective. Our dentists will discuss whether teeth whitening is the right choice for you or if your smile would be better restored with a veneer or crown.
With the proper care instructed by our dentist and staff, your porcelain veneers should last 7-15 years on average, while composite resin veneers should last 4-8. Our dental team will recommend regular checkups and other at-home practices to help you enjoy your veneers for as long as possible.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Cosmetic dentistry is a broad term referring to many different procedures and services. We are happy to answer any questions you have regarding the procedural steps, materials we use, and any aftercare tips for longer-lasting results. Some of the questions we’re frequently asked regarding cosmetic dentistry include:
CEREC®

CEREC®

Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic (CEREC®) has revolutionized dental procedures. Traditionally, if crowns, onlays, inlays or dental veneers were required to restore damaged teeth, multiple procedures and a great deal of waiting time in-between would be inevitable. CEREC® creates these ceramic restorations within minutes in the dental office. This means that many treatments can be completed in just a single visit.
CEREC® is comprised of several computer-assisted design (CAD) tools and a milling machine that creates custom ceramic restorative devices. CEREC® can benefit almost anyone needing a ceramic restoration. This is of great benefit to nervous patients, and it can also reduce the cost of treatment.
Composite Fillings

Composite Fillings

A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling.
There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or more visible areas of the mouth. As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.
LUMINEERS®

LUMINEERS®

LUMINEERS® are an excellent option for people who are unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of their teeth. These ultra-thin, porcelain slips fit perfectly over teeth, making them look cosmetically perfect and completely beautiful. An off-white or crooked smile can cause serious confidence problems. LUMINEERS® are a fantastic alternative for patients wanting a beautiful smile without surgery, harsh chemicals or painful treatments.
For LUMINEERS® to be applied, the underlying teeth, bone and gums must be healthy. Patients with gum disease or tooth decay must be treated prior to LUMINEERS® placement. Unlike dental veneers, LUMINEERS® can be left in place for over 20 years or removed upon request to expose the intact original teeth. LUMINEERS® can be fitted in just two appointments, and instantly add pizzazz to the smile.
Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.
Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth. The most popular method is using a home teeth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically. Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.
