What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, millions of Americans pursue cosmetic dental treatments annually to enhance their smiles.
Common Concerns Addressed:
- Tooth discoloration and staining
- Chips, cracks, and fractures
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or worn teeth
- Gummy smiles or uneven gum lines
The American Dental Association recognizes that cosmetic dentistry significantly improves both appearance and self-confidence when performed by qualified professionals.
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Professional Teeth Whitening
Brighten your smile 6-8 shades in one hour with professional whitening. In-office treatments ($300-$600) provide immediate results, while take-home kits offer gradual whitening on your schedule. Perfect for weddings, interviews, or special events.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin ceramic shells that transform tooth color, shape, and alignment. Veneers last 10-15+ years and address multiple concerns simultaneously—discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment. Our 3D scanner ensures precise fit and natural results.
Options:
Dental Bonding
Same-day repairs using tooth-colored resin. Fixes chips, gaps, and discoloration in 30-60 minutes per tooth. Affordable option at $300-$600 per tooth, lasting 5-7 years with proper care.
Complete Smile Makeovers
Combine multiple procedures for comprehensive transformation. Typical makeovers include whitening, veneers, bonding, and gum contouring. Research in the Journal of the American Dental Association shows comprehensive treatment delivers higher satisfaction than isolated procedures.
Your free consultation includes digital smile design—see your results before treatment begins.

Caring for Your Investment
Daily Care
Brush twice daily with soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Floss once daily using gentle technique. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasizes proper hygiene for maintaining restorations.
Protection
Avoid using teeth as tools or chewing hard objects. Wear a custom nightguard if you grind your teeth.
Professional Maintenance
Schedule cleanings every six months for early problem detection.
Touch-Ups
Whitening fades over 1-3 years. Bonding may need replacement after 5-7 years. Veneers last 10-15+ years but eventually need replacement.
