Cosmetic, not cookie-cutter

Your smile is yours. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all veneers or a Hollywood look that doesn't suit you. We listen, look at your face, and design around what makes you, you.

Cosmetic treatments we offer

Cosmetic dentistry covers anything we do to improve how your teeth look. Sometimes it's one quick fix. Sometimes it's a combination of treatments that come together over a few visits. Here are the options.

Veneers

Thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or resin that bond to the front of your teeth. Veneers can fix chips, close small gaps, brighten color, and reshape teeth. They look natural and last a long time when cared for well.

Bonding

A tooth-colored resin shaped onto the tooth to fix chips, close small gaps, or smooth out a worn edge. Often done in one visit and far less expensive than veneers. A great option for small fixes.

Teeth whitening

In-office and take-home whitening that brightens your natural teeth several shades. The fastest, easiest cosmetic upgrade. More on whitening here.

Invisalign

Clear aligners that gently straighten teeth without metal braces. We're a Gold-level Invisalign provider, which reflects experience treating a wide range of cases. More on Invisalign here.

Tooth-colored fillings

Composite fillings that match the color of your tooth. If you have older silver fillings showing when you laugh, they can be replaced with tooth-colored ones for a cleaner look.

Crowns (for cosmetic reasons)

Sometimes a tooth that's heavily worn, broken, or discolored needs more than a veneer. A crown covers the whole tooth and can completely change its shape, color, and feel. More on crowns here.

Smile makeover

When you want to change more than one thing, we combine treatments into one coordinated plan. More on smile makeovers here.

Is cosmetic dentistry right for me?

People come in for cosmetic care for all kinds of reasons:

  • You feel self-conscious smiling in photos.
  • One tooth bothers you (a chip, a stain, a gap).
  • You're planning a wedding, a milestone birthday, or a big event.
  • Your teeth feel worn down or short.
  • You had braces years ago and things have shifted back.
  • You've always wanted to do something about your smile and finally have the time.

Whatever brings you in, we start with a real conversation. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just an honest look at what's possible and what fits your budget.

How a cosmetic visit works

  1. Tell us what you want. Bring photos if you have them. Be honest about what's bothering you. We're listening, not judging.
  2. Exam and X-rays. We check the health of your teeth and gums first. Cosmetic work only lasts if the foundation underneath is solid.
  3. Options on the table. We walk through what would actually get you the result you want, with honest pros and cons for each path.
  4. A clear price. No surprise charges. You know what each option costs before you decide.
  5. The work. Some treatments are done in one visit. Others take a few. We'll lay out the schedule up front.
  6. Follow up. We check in after to make sure you love the result and everything feels right.

Cost and financing

Cosmetic dentistry is rarely covered by insurance, but most patients use financing to spread the cost over time. Here are your options.

  • Third-party financing through CareCredit, Alphaeon, and Cherry spreads payments over months or years.
  • HSA and FSA accepted for treatments that count as medical.
  • Smile Plan members save on most treatments. The Smile Plan does not cover cosmetic procedures themselves, but the member discount applies to a lot of related work.
  • We give you a clear total before you commit. No surprise charges.

Cosmetic dentistry FAQs

Will it look fake?

Not when it's done right. We design veneers, crowns, and other cosmetic work to match your face, your other teeth, and the look you actually want. No giant Hollywood teeth unless that's what you ask for.

How long does cosmetic work last?

Veneers and crowns typically last 10 to 20 years or more with good care. Bonding and whitening don't last as long but cost much less. We'll talk through trade-offs so you can pick what fits.

Do I have to do everything at once?

No. A lot of patients start with one treatment (often whitening) and add more over time as they're ready. We can lay out a plan that's paced over months or years.

Can you fix one tooth, or is it all or nothing?

One tooth is totally fine. A surprising number of people come in to fix just one chip or one stained tooth. That's a perfectly normal visit.

Will it hurt?

Most cosmetic work is comfortable. Anything that involves shaping the tooth (veneers, bonding, crowns) is done with the area fully numbed. Whitening and aligners aren't painful at all, though some people get short-lived sensitivity.

I have crooked teeth. Should I straighten them before doing veneers?

Often, yes. Straightening with Invisalign first means we can do less to your natural teeth later, which is almost always the better long-term plan. We'll lay that out at your consultation.
