Porcelain Veneers
Whether your teeth have chips, cracks, gaps, or stains, porcelain veneers can make them all disappear behind a pristine white smile. For this treatment, eggshell thin ceramic restorations are bonded over the front of the teeth, acting like masks that instantly improve their appearance. They are always custom-made to suit a patient’s specifications, and the process to get them only takes two easy appointments. And, with the right care, they can easily look and function like new for more than 20 years.

Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Dental restorations used to repair damaged teeth are not only stronger than ever these days, but more natural-looking as well thanks to the newest materials. Instead of the typical silver and gold, we can provide patients with crowns made of 100% white porcelain or zirconia. These can be designed to replicate real enamel down to the smallest detail, including how it reflects light. With one of these restorations, even you won’t be able to tell where your real tooth ends and it begins!
Invisalign® Clear Braces
If you’ve always wanted to straighten your teeth, but have avoided doing so for years because you didn’t want to get metal braces, then your prayers have finally been answered! With Invisalign, we can effectively correct crooked, crowded, and gapped teeth using a series of lightweight, see-through plastic aligners that won’t affect your day-to-day appearance in the slightest. Thanks to Invisalign, only you and your dentist will know that you’re undergoing treatment!

Dental Bonding
Direct bonding is perfect for taking care of that one small imperfection that has bothered you for years, like a minor stain, chip, or gap. Your dentist will cover the offending flaw with a specially-colored composite resin, and then they’ll sculpt it to look like a natural part of the tooth. After hardening the material, it will look like the problem was never there in the first place. Not only is this treatment completely painless, but it’s fast as well, only taking about an hour from beginning to end.
Teeth Whitening
As the years go by, it’s very natural for the teeth to yellow and develop stains. Everything from your diet to natural aging can affect the color of the smile, but Opalescence Whitening is a proven way to turn back the clock and make the teeth up to eight shades whiter. Whether in-office or at home, we can use its highly-concentrated bleaching gel to remove even the most set-in stains so your smile’s natural whiteness can easily shine through.

Gum Recontouring
Would you say that you have a “gummy” smile in which your gums overshadow your teeth? This can easily throw off the delicate balance of the smile and make someone feel self-conscious, but fortunately, our team knows just how to fix this. Using a soft tissue laser, we can quickly and painlessly remove excess gum tissue to expose previously hidden enamel to help the teeth appear longer. The procedure only takes a few minutes and instantly delivers beautiful results.
Smile Makeover
In some cases, one or two individual cosmetic services won’t be enough to attain a truly dazzling smile. If there are several things you’d like to change about the appearance of your pearly whites, a smile makeover is an excellent option. A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan that offers the most effective and streamlined way to achieve the results you’re looking for. This type of procedure often combines numerous cosmetic services to perfect your smile quickly and efficiently.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?
The best cosmetic treatment for you will depend on what you want to change about your smile. Based on what you choose, you may expect certain price points that will differ from other options. For this reason, you’ll want to schedule a consultation with us so that we can discuss your smile goals and provide you with an estimate of the cost of treatment. Here are several popular cosmetic services to consider:
- Teeth whitening: This is one of the easiest, quickest, and most convenient methods to significantly enhance your pearly whites. While this doesn’t change the size, shape, or position of your teeth, our in-office treatment and at-home kits can remove years of discoloration from your smile.
- Dental bonding: We can correct most minor dental flaws—such as chipped, cracked, stained, and gapped teeth—by using composite resin to sculpt over your affected pearly whites. Although your results can last several years, you will need to get a touchup eventually.
- Veneers: This option has one of the higher initial costs while also providing the most comprehensive cosmetic solution. These wafer-thin porcelain shells look and feel like natural teeth, and they conceal most dental imperfections simultaneously.
- Gum recontouring: If you have a gummy smile or teeth that appear short, then you may benefit from gum recontouring. We can remove excess gum tissue without changing your pearly whites, revealing their natural beauty in the process.
- Invisalign: This is the quickest and most discreet orthodontic treatment to correct bite alignment issues. While this option only changes the position of your teeth, you can be sure to enjoy a straighter and much healthier smile in the long run!
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be a Worthwhile Investment
Although cosmetic dentistry seems to only be about enhancing your smile’s appearance, these treatments can achieve so much more. By improving your pearly whites, you’ll feel more comfortable showing off your teeth while grinning. Not only can this boost your self-confidence, but it can also make a positive difference in your social life and professional endeavors. Improving your teeth will also make you more likely to want to maintain your pearly whites, which will help prevent oral problems like gum disease and cavities, along with the costs related to addressing them.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t typically covered by dental insurance since it’s considered an elective treatment. However, you can still pursue your dream smile while being able to afford it through alternative financing options. Our team offers budget-friendly plans through CareCredit which helps split the cost up into monthly installments. Many of these policies also include little-to-no interest, making your chosen cosmetic dental work ultimately more manageable!

Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Many patients hesitate to undergo cosmetic dental work because they’re not sure if the treatment will be painful. However, like with most procedures, we will do everything we can to ensure you remain as comfortable as possible throughout the process. Some treatments are straightforward, like dental bonding and teeth whitening, so you won’t even need a local anesthetic. Other options like veneers are more invasive, so our team will numb your mouth before working. Once your procedure is over, you may feel some sensitivity or soreness for a few days. This should be temporary and can easily be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Cosmetic dentistry has a reputation for being pricey, especially since dental insurance doesn’t often cover the cost. This doesn’t mean you can’t have affordable treatment. Our team provides alternative financing options to help make your procedure more budget-friendly, like CareCredit. This third-party financier offers plans that can break up the overall cost of your care into manageable monthly installments at little-to-no interest! Feel free to speak with our knowledgeable staff if you’re interested in reducing your out-of-pocket expenses, and we’ll be happy to discuss your options.
Why Is Cosmetic Dentistry So Popular?
In the past, dentistry was mainly concentrated on preventing and addressing dental health concerns. Thanks to modern techniques, technology, and education, people nowadays are maintaining much healthier smiles than before. Now, instead of simply fixing damage to their teeth, many patients can prioritize enhancing the appearance of their pearly whites. Not only does having an improved smile make it easier to practice good oral hygiene, but it can also boost a person’s career opportunities, increase confidence, and enrich their overall well-being. By correcting dental flaws, you’ll be able to show off a smile you can be proud of!
How Do I Choose a Cosmetic Dentist?
The American Dental Association (ADA) doesn’t acknowledge cosmetic dentistry as a specialty, so any dentist may consider themselves a cosmetic expert. For this reason, it may be challenging to find a dental professional with the best skills and experience to meet your specific needs. When searching for the right cosmetic dentist for you, consider the following tips:
- Look at before and after photos of their past patients
- Check out the dental technology they utilize
- Read through patient reviews, especially those about cosmetic procedures
- Make sure they’re a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD)
