Cosmetic Veneers Whitening Invisalign SMILE MAKEOVER

COSMETIC DENTISTRY DONE DIFFERENTLY

Are you unhappy with the appearance of your natural smile? Have you ever considered a smile makeover? Cosmetic dentistry can offer solutions for your aesthetic concerns and improve the overall health of your teeth and gums. A smile that is brighter, whiter, and straighter after a smile makeover will also support better long-term dental health. Cosmetic dentistry has benefited from many advancements in materials and technology, enabling patients to achieve a more natural-looking and sustainable outcome. What could cosmetic dentistry do for you and your smile?

Our Services

PORCELAIN VENEERS

Porcelain veneers are thin dental ceramic shells covering the front and sides of your teeth. We color-match them to your surrounding teeth, and their natural sheen makes them look like natural teeth. They can treat almost any cosmetic dental problem.

INVISALIGN

Invisalign provides an alternative to traditional metal braces for straightening crooked teeth. It uses a system of clear aligners to move the teeth into the desired position. These aligners are removable, so you can eat and drink normally, and they are virtually invisible. Most patients will receive several sets of aligners, with each set changing every two weeks, slowly shifting the teeth into proper alignment.

DENTAL BONDING

Dental bonding is a more temporary cosmetic dental solution. It uses a malleable resin that we mold to fit your tooth and harden with a special light. It can treat many of the same issues as porcelain veneers but in a temporary, more affordable capacity.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY FAQ'S

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR COSMETIC DENTISTRY?

Anyone unhappy with the appearance of their teeth or smile may benefit from cosmetic dentistry. Ideal candidates have good overall oral health, as cosmetic procedures typically address aesthetic concerns rather than underlying oral health problems. During your consultation, we will assess your dental health and determine which treatments are best for your needs.

HOW LONG DO COSMETIC DENTISTRY RESULTS LAST?

The longevity of cosmetic dentistry results depends on the type of procedure and how well you maintain your oral health. Teeth whitening can last several months to a year, while porcelain veneers and crowns can last 10–15 years, and dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. Regular dental visits and good hygiene are essential to preserving your results.

ARE COSMETIC DENTISTRY PROCEDURES PAINFUL?

Most cosmetic dentistry procedures are minimally invasive and relatively painless. Treatments like teeth whitening and bonding cause little to no discomfort. For more involved procedures like veneers or crowns, dentists use local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Our team prioritizes your comfort and will discuss any concerns before beginning treatment.

DOES INSURANCE COVER COSMETIC DENTISTRY?

Most cosmetic dentistry procedures are considered elective and are not covered by insurance. However, if a procedure also provides restorative benefits, such as a crown or implant, it may be partially covered. Check with your dental insurance provider to understand your coverage.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY RESULTS AFTER COSMETIC DENTISTRY?

Maintaining your results involves practicing good oral hygiene, such as brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist for regular checkups. You should also avoid biting hard objects and limit consumption of highly staining foods and drinks.
