What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of teeth and your smile. Your dentist first assesses tooth and gum health, your bite and existing dental work. Whitening, bonding and veneers address different concerns; they are not interchangeable. For missing teeth, explore our dental implant and full-arch restoration options.

Planning Your Cosmetic Dental Care

Your consultation starts with a discussion of what you would like to change and an examination. Depending on the findings, photographs, digital scans or X-rays may help with planning. We explain suitable options, alternatives, likely visits, costs and maintenance before you decide. Cosmetic treatment does not replace care for decay, gum disease or bite concerns.

What to Discuss at Your Consultation

  • Your goals for tooth color, shape and smile balance
  • Tooth and gum health, your bite and existing restorations
  • Options that preserve tooth structure when appropriate
  • Expected visits, costs and alternatives
  • Risks, limitations and the possibility of future repairs
  • Daily care and follow-up to maintain your teeth and restorations

Cosmetic Dentistry Services Offered

  • Teeth Whitening: May lighten natural teeth; crowns, veneers and fillings do not whiten. Temporary tooth sensitivity can occur.
  • Veneers: Thin porcelain coverings for the fronts of selected teeth. Tooth preparation removes enamel and is not reversible; veneers may need repair or replacement.
  • Crowns and Bridges: Crowns cover damaged teeth; bridges replace one or more missing teeth. Suitability depends on the supporting teeth and treatment plan.
  • Invisalign: Clear aligners move teeth over time. An assessment determines whether this option suits your alignment and bite needs.
  • Bonding: Tooth-colored resin can reshape selected teeth or repair small chips. It has a limited lifespan and may need maintenance or replacement.
